What is Theological Methodology?

Last updated on: May 7, 2023 at 6:18 pm   By Ted Peters

When interpreting the Bible for the contemporary context, each systematic theologian must justify the method of interpretation and application. This applies whether one is a fundamentalist, progressive Protestant, Roman Catholic, or Eastern Orthodox. Today's intersectional theologians define themselves methodologically just as their detractors do. Read more

What is Truth in Science and Theology? Part One

Last updated on: May 27, 2023 at 9:23 am   By Ted Peters

I recommend  Christians and other religious leaders pledge allegiance to the scientific community. I also recommend the public theologian engage in discourse clarification to distinguish genuine science from both pseudoscience and scientism. I further recommend that the public theologian engage in worldview construction, placing genuine propositional knowledge gained from science into a comprehensive framework wherein human meaning is oriented toward what has been revealed about the God of grace. ▓ Read more

A Billion Bucks for Bullets and Blood

Last updated on: September 7, 2022 at 1:22 pm   By Ted Peters

A US House Committee reports a billion bucks profit for gunmakers. Profit from guns, bullets, and blood keep the flow of mass murders inundating schools, churches, synagogues, shopping centers, and other public arenas. I recommend: stop selling military weapons to civilians. And do so immediately. Read more
