Lived Theology is Theology

Last updated on: April 14, 2019 at 6:39 pm By Scot McKnight

Ethics is sometimes apportioned a chapter at the end of a theology and it is often, too, postured as something that is the “application” or “implication” of the real stuff, the theology. There’s something to the priority of theology but there’s also something to thinking of theology as the ideas needed to explain the kind of behavior we need. Enter John Goldingay’s newest book, Old Testament Ethics: A Guided Tour. A book for students, for church groups, for pastors — well... Read more

A Movement Formerly Called “Evangelical”?

Last updated on: April 14, 2019 at 6:38 pm By Scot McKnight

In his new book called Restless Faith, former Fuller Seminary president Richard Mouw dips into the question of labels and asks if we should call evangelicalism a “former movement.” He’s unwilling to give up on the term. I find the term, at least in the USA, well-nigh useless today. Is it? I don’t want to come off as defensive about my own preference for holding on to the label. I think it is a healthy thing to argue about whether a... Read more

God, A Competent Creator! (RJS)

Last updated on: April 15, 2019 at 9:03 pm By RJS

Chapter five of Daniel Harrell’s book, Nature’s Witness: How Evolution Can Inspire Faith, begins with a joke (p. 69): A scientist tells God that he’s figured out how to create life from the dust of the ground, just like God did in the beginning. Consequently, the scientist says, he’s shown that God is no longer a plausible hypothesis for the origin of life. Impressed, the Lord tells the scientist to do it again; he’d like to watch. So the scientist... Read more

By Geoff Holsclaw: a professor and pastor, offering a free mini-course on The 3 Forgotten Reasons for Jesus’ Death, to help expand your understanding of Jesus’s death. Is the “sacrifice of atonement” in Romans 3:25 referring to a propitiation (appeasing God’s wrath), an expiation (cleansing human sin), or the mercy seat (the place of God’s reconciling presence)?

A good week — some translating and I spoke at Spring Arbor U in Michigan. Plus, as noted below, Katie Bouman’s imaging of the black hole is now public. It is a sad reality that many women’s stories end up in a black hole in various church groups. We have #MeToo, #ChurchToo, and now #MissionsToo. Dalaina May deserves our attention, folks. The #MeToo movement has successfully pulled back the curtain on hidden misogyny and rampant abuse of women in US... Read more

What Mother Teresa Taught Us…

Last updated on: April 11, 2019 at 7:14 pm By Scot McKnight

By Mike Glenn In my life, I’ve seen a lot of things. Most of them are pretty forgettable, but some are hard to forget. One of those images I have in my head comes from an event that happened several years ago. Mother Teresa was in the United States on a speaking tour celebrating her humanitarian work in India. During one of the dinners, she was speaking and President Bill Clinton was seated to her immediate left. During her remarks,... Read more
