Jesus Creed

IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776. The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which…

There is no book like this and there is no book because there is no one today who lived Ernst K?semann’s life. He is known today, though not as well as he ought to be by the younger generation of NT scholars, mostly as a Pauline scholar. Those who are into the historical Jesus may…

John Mark Hicks, Come to the Table: Revisioning the Lord’s Supper , explores themes of the Eucharist in such a fresh manner. The Table of the Lord visibly — visibly, concretely, physically, really — expresses the unity of the Body of Christ. Union with Christ is the sole factor that invites a person and that qualifies a…

I’m seeing a clear trend: it’s wrong, they say, to celebrate America’s independence in a church context.…

The lightning at the Acropolis will wake up some dead philosopher-kings. A big heart-felt thanks to Cathleen Falsani for this wondrous story. An important new blog, Transpositions, on theology and art — give it some reads. Don Johnson’s proposed list of new seminary courses. Karen’s new idea … running for governor. David Fitch posts a…

Interesting question. I’d say “No.” I’d “label” him as orthodox, Protestant, German, Lutheran, Pietist. The evangelical movement is more or less the Reformed side of the Reformation than the Lutheran side. (Though the German Lutherans themselves call themselves “evangelisch” in German.) What about you? Would you say Bonhoeffer is an evangelical? Added question: If Bonhoeffer…

I’ve been listening to Josh Fox’s new album, Radiant, and especially to track 2: Mighty is Our God. It puts into music and lyrics the essence of Psalm 19. (iTunes link.) The song begins with an almost Robin Mark-beat and then soars into the sort of praise we find in Psalm 19 — straightforward praise…
