A previous post on surveying some Marcus Borg resources is here. My previous post on Wright’s views of Borg are at this post. On my bookshelves, I have nearly all of the books of Marcus Borg. That won’t surprise those of you who are already concerned about my theology. I enjoy reading people in theirContinue reading “Marcus Borg: Attempting Faith Between “Either” and “Or””

Resources and Responses to the “Tomb of Jesus and His Family” Story
There are continuing updates below. I am not adding everything, but only pertinent and helpful links. Send me any that you have. And pray as Ben Witherington III prepares to speak on this. That will be interesting, given his involvement in the James Ossuary case. UPDATE: The original post and updated links are here. MuchContinue reading “Resources and Responses to the “Tomb of Jesus and His Family” Story”
DVC Madness Revisited: James Cameron Announces the End of Christianity
UPDATE: The best single resource to respond to this is William Lane Craig’s work on the “Empty Tomb” tradition. It’s summarized very well in this essay. UPDATE II: Much fuller details in this news story. And the Discovery Channel website for the movie is here. Many more connections to the DVC/Gnostic gospels in this information.
Thoughts on Weekly Communion
In June of last year, I began taking the Lord’s Supper weekly. I’d like to write about what this has meant to me, and to the community of worshipping Christians that I lead. My Southern Baptist tradition has been de-emphasizing the Lord’s Supper for a good deal of its recent history. This has not beenContinue reading “Thoughts on Weekly Communion”
Tim Hardaway and the Sin We Love To Hate
UPDATE: Michael Medved regularly reminds me of the difference Jesus makes in how I look at a cultural issue and how a Jewish conservative looks at the same issue. Law by Moses. Grace and Truth by Jesus. “You know, I hate gay people, so I let it be known. I don’t like gay people andContinue reading “Tim Hardaway and the Sin We Love To Hate”
We Need Both
Here’s a thought I never had before, and maybe it will bring a bit of clarity to this debate over what I’ve written about the Bible. Cent’s good pastor, Tad Thompson, points out a typical conservative SBC criticism of Barth….or to be more precise, what SBC liberals did with a Barthian turn of theology. HeContinue reading “We Need Both”
Chris Tilling on Inerrancy
Chris is one of the best young theological bloggers out there, and his “Inerrancy” series (which is not all that recent) is outstanding. Chris says that an inductive reading of scripture reveals that inerrancy is not the Bible’s own position. The last post in the series is a podcast by Chris suggesting a way forward.Continue reading “Chris Tilling on Inerrancy”
C.S. Lewis and Inerrancy
This post reprints part of an article that first appeared in the Christian Research Journal, volume 27, number 4 (2004). It is an assessment of Lewis’s strengths and weaknesses as an apologist and theologian. Remember that Lewis was a professor of English Literature at Oxford and Cambridge his entire career. This article is footnoted andContinue reading “C.S. Lewis and Inerrancy”
Ten Questions On The Bible (plus one rant)
UPDATE: If “inerrancy,” a term that doesn’t appear in any major confession or creed, equals “being a Christian” to you, then let me encourage you to stop worrying about the effect of this blog. I’m happy to have you here, but if a non-Biblical word is the essence of defining my relationship to God throughContinue reading “Ten Questions On The Bible (plus one rant)”
Alastair “Adversaria” Roberts: The IM Interview
1. Let’s start with the essential bio: Who are you, where are you, how’d you get there and what are you doing with yourself? Most people who know me will know me from my blog, Alastair.Adversaria, which I created shortly after I started studying in the University of St. Andrews, in October 2005. Before IContinue reading “Alastair “Adversaria” Roberts: The IM Interview”
