…God or not. A quick scan of the second table of the Ten Commandments gives examples. We commit adultery because we do not properly control our sexual desires. We commit murder (or hate our brother, Matthew 5:22) because we cannot control our thoughts and actions towards others. We give false testimony, out of either fear or anger, rather than accept the consequences of speaking truthfully. The tenth commandment, you shall not covet, forbids a diso…

Lewis who came to be a fideist after his rationalism was shattered by G. E. M. Anscombe. I also want to ask how your conclusion differs from fideism, especially as you have defined it. It would seem that Fideism + the person of Christ is no less ghettoizing. But then…

Applying a theological, metaphysical justification for political authority and law has been so abused historically.

The technology that allowed the church to have communion one with another may seem primitive to us today: ink and parchment, Roman roads and delivery systems. But, these advances were the backbone of early church communion. Now we find ourselves—approximately 2,000 years later—sending emails, meeting in online spaces, and worshiping together-…

Behold your mother!” By commanding them to behold one another, Jesus directed Mary and John to see one another in a new light–the light of the cross. We should hear this “sermon at the Cross” (as Bruner puts it in his commentary on the gospel of John) in the context of John 1:29, where John the Baptist preached, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” Jesus’ ministry was, an…
