Good morning! Words matter … alot! The most common words used by Beth Moore are: Christ, love, attitudes, accepted, serve, respect, know, misogyny, alongside, asking, sake, scripture, good, want, challenges, say, bible, serving, sexism, leaders, etc. The most common words used by Strachan and his ilk are: church, teaching, word, order, headship, authority, scripture, teach, preach, called, leadership, design, gathered, says, rules, biblical, exercise, etc. They are both talking about the same subject. But Beth Moore is concerned about Jesus,... Read more

Seminary: Why?

Last updated on: June 12, 2019 at 5:05 pm By Scot McKnight

I began my career teaching seminary students, shifted to undergraduates for seventeen years, and now am teaching at a seminary again, at Northern Seminary (check out our DMin and MANT special cohorts). This move has driven me to think and rethink what seminary provides the church, or what the church provides the seminary. Today’s post offers ten reasons for going to seminary, and I know full well that many today both find seminary irrelevant and contend they are “successful” ministers... Read more

Creation Care? (RJS)

Last updated on: June 12, 2019 at 9:25 pm By RJS

Climate change is an issue that is not going to go away. It is also not an issue where ideology or worldview will ultimately play any significant role. Either humans are impacting the climate or we are not. Because of the impact on human life both present and in the future, this is an issue where we have an obligation to get it right. Because of the potential significance I am going to spend some time over the next several... Read more

Is this Congregationalism?

Last updated on: June 12, 2019 at 5:20 pm By Scot McKnight

Is this congregationalism? soul freedom? Or what is this? Federal representation? The 2011 Faith Matters Survey — a study from Harvard and Notre Dame that surveyed 2,646 Americans — asked respondents how much they agreed with the following statement, “Women should be allowed to be priests or clergy in my house of worship.” Three quarters (77.8%) of Americans agree. That includes two-thirds (64.7%) of Southern Baptists and Roman Catholics (68.9%). That could accurately be described as strong levels of support. Southern Baptist... Read more

Baptism is Very Church-y

Last updated on: June 12, 2019 at 6:43 am By Scot McKnight

In a recent article on Get Religion, we encounter a new approach to adult believer’s baptism and thus a new argument against infant baptism: THE QUESTION: Why do most Christian churches baptize babies? THE RELIGION GUY’S ANSWER: This classic issue unexpectedly popped up as news on June 23 due to an Irish Times interview with Mary McAleese, an attorney and the former president of Ireland. McAleese assailed her Catholic Church for its practice of baptizing infants shortly after birth with parents making vows on... Read more

Conversation in Trinitarian Perspective

Last updated on: June 9, 2019 at 3:21 pm By Scot McKnight

Last week I began a series of posts on C. Christopher Smith’s wonderful new book, How the Body of Christ Talks: Recovering the Practice of Conversation in the Church. In that post I said this: The evangelical church’s conversational style can be simplified to the term didactic while the mainline’s approach is dialogical, and Smith and his church are seeking to embody the recovery of conversation as how the church can better be a body. I’m convinced this form of rhetoric constantly shapes our... Read more

A Flourishing Life Theology

Last updated on: June 9, 2019 at 2:51 pm By Scot McKnight

When theology is reframed for a flourishing life what does it look like? Miroslav Volf and Matthew Croasmun, in For the Life of the World, present a sketch of an answer in their last chp under two major categories: form and content. We look at form today. … the Christian faith offers a specific account of the character of the transcendent realm and how it relates to the mundane, a particular vision of God and the relation between God and the...

Pentecost Reflection

Last updated on: June 7, 2019 at 8:47 am By Scot McKnight

By Jeremy Berg, one of our Northern DMin students: A Global Speech Impediment by Jeremy Berg Can you imagine Facebook or Twitter without disagreement or conflicting viewpoints? Can you imagine a world without political division? Can you imagine a world united by one language and motivated by one grand purpose? We live in a cultural moment of unprecedented division. Some have said our nation hasn’t been this divided since the Civil War. There’s nothing “civil” about war, and “incivility” in... Read more
