Rejecting Fear, Embracing Hope

Last updated on: April 6, 2026 at 1:18 am By Henry Karlson

Christ is Risen! Joy From Heaven is around us, Christ our Pasch now dwells among us! All things are made anew, giving us hope, hope for ourselves, and hope for everyone and everything else. Christ has overcome the fallen powers that be, the structures of sin and the nihilistic death which they bring. He is risen, and we are to rise with him. While we celebrate Christ’s resurrection during Paschaltide, and with it, embrace the hope and joy his resurrection... Read more

Easter 2026: How Jesus as the New Adam Restores Humanity

Last updated on: April 5, 2026 at 1:57 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

Just as the Trinity is one God, so God made humanity to be composed of many persons while also remaining one. Each human person has the same human nature, a nature which, in and of itself, is good, because God saw that all things which God created are good. The problem is not human nature as it is in its essence, an essence with a purity which it never lost, but rather, the way every human person engages that nature... Read more

Reflections For Holy Friday 2026: The New Covenant*

Last updated on: April 3, 2026 at 2:35 am By Henry Karlson

Throughout history, God often reveals great truths in surprising ways. For example, when Abraham believed God wanted him to sacrifice Isaac, Abraham was willing to do so. God stopped him, using that to show Abraham (and everyone else), that such sacrifice was not to be done. God used Abraham’s expectations, the expectations he had with others of his time, to deal with those expectations and put an end to the reasoning that lay behind them. God often works within history... Read more

Freedom, Salvation And The Danger Of Coercion In Faith

Last updated on: April 1, 2026 at 1:19 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

God entices us to embrace what is good and true through the beauty of the truth. Such beauty should bring us back to God, because, when we see it, we should find ourselves attracted to the beauty of God’s divine glory. God wants our love. To have it, we must be free. Love is not love if it is forced. Those who would tell us that God acts out of divine power instead of love, denying our free will, do... Read more

Jesus’ Message To Pilate: A Kingdom Beyond The Sword

Last updated on: March 30, 2026 at 1:58 am By Henry Karlson

It amazes me how often I find a Christian giving a gnostic reading to Jesus’ words, with the most common example coming from when he said, “My kingship is not of this world; if my kingship were of this world, my servants would fight, that I might not be handed over to the Jews; but my kingship is not from the world” (Jn. 18:36b RSV). Too many suggest these words indicate that Jesus has no concern or care for what... Read more

The Torah tells us Moses was not able to physically lead the people of Israel into the promised land; instead, that was left to his successor, Joshua, the son of Nun. However, they were prepared for this, as God had Joshua elevated and given a position of authority while Moses was still alive: Moses said to the LORD, “Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation, who shall go out before...

The Struggle Against Evil: Insights From St. Augustine

Last updated on: March 26, 2026 at 1:56 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

St. Augustine, in his exploration on evil, came to understand that evil does not exist in and of itself, that it is merely the privation or corruption of some good. The corrupting power and influence of evil grows the more it is acted upon, destroying its host, even as it has its host hurt various other goods around them. If it is not stopped, evil will continue to corrupt and destroy until all that is good is brought to an... Read more

My Engagements With World Religions: What Others Can Do

Last updated on: March 25, 2026 at 2:11 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

It probably is clear from what I have written that my primary (but not only) encounter with other religions has been as a scholar reading theological and historical texts coming from various faith traditions. And while other can do so as well, it is always better to do more than read, but rather, to interact with people from other faiths, listening to them, finding out how they understand their own texts instead of trying to interpret them all by themselves. ...

Debunking Myths: Islam, Pluralism, And American Values

Last updated on: March 23, 2026 at 1:58 am By Henry Karlson

For a few weeks, I have seen a terrible, and potentially dangerous, trend on social media: people (and bots, to be sure) are saying that all Muslims in the United States must be rounded up and deported. They suggest that all Muslim must be treated as foreigners, whether or not they were born in the United States (showing one reason why Christian Nationalists are taking on birthright citizenship, because if it is removed, it is easier to deport American citizens...

Just as it is difficult to know the full history behind the story of the people of Israel, how they got into Egypt, how many of them were in Egypt, and how they became oppressed, so it is difficult, if not impossible, for us to know all the historical details which are behind the story of Moses. We have extremely limited historical records which relate to the matter, and those which do, do so mostly indirectly; that means, when trying... Read more
