Faith in the Shadows (Austin Fischer)

Last updated on: September 10, 2018 at 4:42 pm By Scot McKnight

Faith in the Shadows, by Austin Fischer A few years ago, I almost became a pastor who didn’t believe in God. In fact, there were probably a few moments when I didn’t believe in God. It’s tough to know. My apostasy or near-apostasy wasn’t precipitated by a singular event. Few apostasies are. When our faith dies, it’s less like a guillotine drop and more like death by paper cuts. Mine was the culmination of years of doubt piling up on... Read more

Math + Theology = ? (RJS)

Last updated on: September 11, 2018 at 11:57 am By RJS

What does math have to do with theology? Andy Walsh, Faith Across the Multiverse, makes some interesting connections. The logic of mathematics can help us think more clearly about theology. In Chapter 1 (the second chapter since he starts with 0) Walsh explores paradox, logic, math, and the way we view the world (this is where theology comes in). This is a fascinating chapter that considers the Bible, Math, Geometry, Paul Revere, the Matrix, the X-men, Raiders of the Lost... Read more

Miracles, Experience, And Mythic Narratives

Last updated on: September 8, 2018 at 10:14 am By Scot McKnight

In Luke Timothy Johnson’s new book on miracles, Miracles: God’s Presence and Power in Creation, is a long chapter on how to reframe miracles in the Bible and Christian tradition in order to reclaim miracles for the Christian church today. Last week we looked at two elements of this reclamation — imagination and God as creator — and today we look at one more: how somatic experience can be revelatory and next week we dip into how mythic narratives communicate...

OneRace Stone Mountain

Last updated on: September 9, 2018 at 8:44 am By Scot McKnight

The day marked the climax of two years of preparation by the OneRace Movement, a group that has brought 560 Atlanta-area pastors together in pursuit of reconciliation and revival. “We believe we are in a divine moment,” said Billy Humphrey, co-director of OneRace. “The Lord wants to eradicate racism and dead religion in every form in the church. He wants to expose blind spots of prejudice, privilege, bitterness, and fear. The answer to division and hate is the gospel of Jesus Christ.” Read more

Woman Pastor Identified In The New Testament?

Last updated on: September 10, 2018 at 7:00 am By Scot McKnight

CBE By Alexandra Greenley The second letter of John is addressed “to the elect lady and to her children.” But who is the “elect lady” of 2 John? Is she a mother with kids, or something more? A look at the apostle John’s use of the word “children” in 1 John can help us understand who the woman’s children are. Then, we can try to solve the mystery of who the woman is. We commonly recognize that the “children” of 1... Read more

Grant Us O Lord

Last updated on: September 9, 2018 at 6:24 am By Scot McKnight

Grant us, O Lord, to trust in you with all our hearts; for, as you always resist the proud who confide in their own strength, so you never forsake those who make their boast of your mercy; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. BCP Read more

Never Too Old To Be An Orphan

Last updated on: September 7, 2018 at 11:52 am By Scot McKnight

By Mike Glenn Early in my ministry, I led the funeral service for a 97-year-old matriarch of the small county seat church I was serving. Leaving the graveside, Charlie, her 65-year old son and the youngest of four children, fell to pieces. As the old folks say, he had a complete “come apart”. He collapsed into my arms as I reached over to comfort him. “Charlie,” I said, “your mom lived a long and full life. She was ready to... Read more
