Christian Nationalist Conspiracy Theory

Last updated on: October 13, 2024 at 9:13 am By Ted Peters

Yes, we can expect the majority of evangelical Christians in America to believe Donald Trump's lies and to vote Republican. But a Christian nationalist belief system does not explan this. What does explain it? Ressentiment. Read more

What is Comparative Theology?

Last updated on: October 7, 2024 at 7:12 am By Ted Peters

In celebrating Pastor Charissa Jaeger-Sanders for passing her doctoral examination, we here ask whether comparative theology might be the best method for the confessional universalist. Read more

UAP: The Interdimensional Hypothesis

Last updated on: December 27, 2024 at 4:59 pm By Ted Peters

The Interdimensional Hypothesis (ID) suggested by Jacques Vallée, J. Allen Hynek, and John Keel replaces the Extraterrestrial Hypothesis (ETH). Instead of coming to earth from outer space, UAP comes into our air space and into our cultural symbolism from a parallel universe, a second reality that occupies the same space as our home universe. How do you like ID? Read more

What is Scandinavian Creation Theology?

Last updated on: October 5, 2024 at 2:46 pm By Ted Peters

Scandinavian Creation Theology or SCT does not picture the world as a cold and hostile place. Instead the world is recognized as our home. Should SCT include science along with the Bible as a theological source? Yes. But the norm should come from the Bible. Read more

Pope Francis vs Jesus as the Only Way, Part 2

Last updated on: October 5, 2024 at 2:45 pm By Ted Peters

In trying to sort out options for interpreting Pope Francis on the world's religions, I slice the theological pie three ways: (1) confessional universalism; (2) confessional exclusivism; and (3) supraconfessional universalism, otherwise known as religious pluralism. Which do you opt for? Read more

Last updated on: October 5, 2024 at 2:45 pm By Ted Peters

In his Singapore address of September 13, 2024, Pope Francis enunciated the position commonly known as "religious pluralism." Like Vivekananda, all religious streams flow into the same sea. What's that sea: Brahman? The godhead? The Real? Read more

UAP and Ancient Alien Theology

Last updated on: December 27, 2024 at 5:00 pm By Ted Peters

In my exploration of alternative ontologies to explain UAP, Ancient Alien Theology stands up and asks to be counted. Putatively, ancient astronaut theorists explain how our stupidly religious ancestors needed extraterrestrial engineering to build the pyramids and to give Jesus a ride to heaven on a flying saucer on Ascension Day. This theory, however, doesn't tell us where the alien civilizations come from. Read more

Our Confession of Evangelical Conviction: the New Barmen?

Last updated on: October 23, 2024 at 10:12 am By Ted Peters

Is "Our Confession of Evangelical Conviction" of 2024 the new Barmen Declaration of 1934? The content and tone and theology of the two documents are quite similar. And they both make clear that no human political figure dare claim our ultimate fealty. That belongs soley to the transcendent Jesus Christ. It's time for progressive Christians to cease and desist their targeting of evangelical Christians instead of the MAGA wing of the Republican Party. It's time for maximizing the spirit of Christian unity. Read more

Last updated on: December 27, 2024 at 5:01 pm By Ted Peters

The Extratempestrial Hypothesis replaces the Extraterrestrial Hypothesis to explain the origin of UAP. When we see a UFO, it's really our future descendents returning to pay a visit to us grandparents. Let's put on the coffee. Read more

Will I die today in a school shooting?

Last updated on: September 5, 2024 at 8:10 am By Ted Peters

"Will I die today in a school shooting?" This is the existential questions many of our teens ask themselves at breakfast. Why do those who profit from gun sales inflict such unnecessary fear upon our American youth? Read more
