More than Merely Method

Last updated on: March 18, 2014 at 9:30 am By Fred Sanders

Kevin Vanhoozer has developed a reputation for reflecting deeply and at length on theological and hermeneutical prolegomena; perhaps too much at length. In the Preface to Remythologizing Theology, he admits that he has been “as guilty as anyone of procrastinating in the prolegomenal fields,” but with this text he has succeeded in moving on from preparatory methodology to the thing itself, theology proper, the doctrine of God. In other words, Vanhoozer has moved on from method to matter with this... Read more

New Year’s Resolutions and Biblical Renewal

Last updated on: March 18, 2014 at 9:30 am By Peter David Gross

I stood in church and watched two baptisms on the first day of 2012. Just a few hours before, a couple of friends and I had raised glasses and toasted the new year. Then, there in the sanctuary, two heads were lowered and splashed in that old reenactment of Christ's new life. Read more

Honest to God, a Voice from Heaven! Vanhoozer's Remythologizing Theology

Last updated on: March 18, 2014 at 9:30 am By Fred Sanders

Kevin J. Vanhoozer published a very important book in 2010, entitled Remythologizing Theology. It’s a long book (500 pages), and though Vanhoozer is a clear writer, his target audience here is people who have already read a lot of recent theology. It’s also a very expensive hardcover from Cambridge University Press. Good news on that front: a paperback edition is on the way in 2012. Length and price aside, this is a book which deserves a wide audience. I hope... Read more

Finishing Up With "On This Day" In This Year

Last updated on: March 18, 2014 at 9:30 am By Fred Sanders

Since 2009 I’ve been noodling away at the “On This Day” essays here at Scriptorium Daily. I started them on a lark during Christmas break 2009, got around to describing my goals for the series sometime in March, and kept at it whenever time permitted. I wrote entries for about half the days of the calendar during 2009, then filled in a lot of gaps during 2010 as the dates rolled around again. In 2011 Scriptorium Daily added the little...

The Spirituality of the Second Coming

Last updated on: March 18, 2014 at 9:30 am By Fred Sanders

From the Dictionary of Christian Spirituality (pages 740-741), here is my attempt to describe the second coming from the point of view of spirituality, in 400 words. For New Year’s Day. When Christ ascended into the clouds to take his seat at the right hand of the Father, the angels of the ascension said, “This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched him go into heaven”...
