No kidding, Luke and his friends had their 2009 version of Festivus (I wrote about this in Jesus Creed), and got Wrigley to post about it!

Mary’s untimely premature pregnancy was bad enough. That Joseph, her fiance was about to divorce her would have perhaps made the situation unbearable for Mary. So, God sends an “angel.” Matthew 1:20 reads: But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of…

Today we wrap up our discussion centered on Kevin Corcoran’s book Rethinking Human Nature: A Christian Materialist Alternative to the Soul where he develops a constitution view of human persons. We will look at the fifth and sixth chapters: I believe in the Resurrection Body and the Life of the World to Come and The…
