Religion Decline & Public Theology

Last updated on: June 8, 2023 at 6:31 pm By Ted Peters

Religion decline is made obvious not only by the decline of church attendance and the rise of the 'nones'. In the university, the professor of theology is being replaced by a scientist who analyzes the brain circuitry of those odd ducks who are still believing religious beliefs. Will the cognitive science of religion make theology obsolete? In this blog post, we ask Luis Oviedo OFM, who edits the quarterly: Reviews in Science, Religion and Theology. I contend that the public systematic theologian will still earn an honest living by making transparent original sin's influence on society and the human need for divine grace. Read more

Christmas 4: Mean Estate

Last updated on: December 22, 2022 at 3:42 pm By Ted Peters

For here we see the great and wonderful work of God, that for the sake of poor, wretched humanity He lets His only begotten Son take upon Him human nature and become truly human, and as such endure all weakness and misery, nay take upon Him even our sins, though without sin in Himself, and become a sacrifice for them, in order that we might learn to thank and praise God for this great benefit, that we poor, wretched, nay even condemned persons, today attain to such great honor of becoming one flesh and blood with the Son of God. -- Martin Luther Read more

Christmas 2: Word Became Flesh

Last updated on: December 22, 2022 at 3:43 pm By Ted Peters

We humans do not fashion words in the same way in which Adam and Ever were made by God's Word,. The Father Himself did not beget His only Word in the same way in which He made all things through the Word. For God begot God. But the Begettor and the Begotten are one and the same God. -- Augustine Read more
