N.T. Wright Interview: “Simply Jesus” & Wright Responds to Critics (@FrankViola)

Last updated on: February 29, 2012 at 12:46 pm By Kurt Willems

From Frank Viola: Today, I’m featuring N.T. Wright on the blog. This interview fits in nicely with our series on Beyond Evangelical. But first, a little context. My favorite New Testament scholar of the 20th century was the British scholar F.F. Bruce. Bruce was a “bright and shining light” in 20th century evangelicalism. He was prolific, churning out high quality work year after year. He had the rare ability to write academic books as well as popular (accessible) books. Bruce’s... Read more

‘Blue Like Jazz’ the Movie & the Pangea Blog

Last updated on: February 26, 2012 at 10:48 pm By Kurt Willems

I’m excited about this film. Too many “Christian” movies warm the heart but do nothing to show us the faith of the real world. The world we live in is a messy place and following Jesus takes us down a disorienting path. Most Christian films, at least in my experience, over-spiritualize these issues. Enter Blue Like Jazz the movie. Based on a book that has made a profound effect on many 20-30 somethings (well, more than that… my grandma read... Read more

Re-Imagining Being the Community of Jesus: Christ’s Body in Corinth – The Politics of a Metaphor

Last updated on: February 23, 2012 at 11:27 pm By Kurt Willems

*The following is written by Lawrence Garcia For those on whom it is being imposed, “unity” can be an ominous word. After all, history has proven such words—unity, concord, and harmony—are usually employed ideologically by the social elite upon the marginal, a sort of rhetorical tool in the ideological tool belt of those situated at the pinnacle of power. Ancient statesmen and philosophers like Cicero and Seneca—Rome’s ruling elite—wrote about homonoia (concord) in which everyone was to do their part... Read more

Polycarp of Smyrna & the Way of Jesus

Last updated on: February 23, 2012 at 10:02 am By Kurt Willems

FROM COMMON PRAYER: LITURGY FOR ORDINARY RADICALS: Today is the day when the church remembers Polycarp of Smyrna (70 – 155). Polycarp was arrested by Roman officials after having served as Bishop of Smyrna for many decades. When the Roman proconsul ordered him to declare that “Caesar is Lord” and to curse Christ, the elderly Polycarp refused, saying, “Eighty-six years I have served him and he never did me any wrong. How can I blaspheme my King who saved me?” Polycarp was... Read more
