Written via my iPhone. Forgive any typos, grammatical errors, or punctuation mistakes. All ratings are out of five stars. Name * The first thing I must mention is the terrible name, I think everyone agrees on this point, except, apparently, Apple themselves. While iSlate was an ok name (I wasn’t thrilled) iPad just makes me [...]
If you’ve read Pete Rollins‘ latest book, “The Orthodox Heretic, and other impossible tales,” then you’ll know how challenging that book can be mentally. There’s something powerful about Rollins use of parables to really mess with you, and really screw up your day. From the first parable on, there is plenty of challenging material there [...]
You’ll have to excuse my absence last week, something about being in the hospital kind of messes up your ability to follow a schedule. I’ll blame my not posting this yesterday on the ER visit I made Friday morning (around 4 AM), I had some sort of reaction to something and spent all night from [...]
So, it was just shy of a year ago that I read “Misquoting Jesus” by Bart Erhman, which I found to be quite a phenomenal read. I’ve heard both sides of the argument against the book, but I found myself enthralled by what was presented. While my faith remained intact after I was through, Erhman [...]
I recently read Divinity and Diversity by Marjorie Hewitt Suchocki for the Transforming Theology Blogger Consortium, and I’ve been sitting on this for a couple weeks now. I had every intention of writing something last week, but after mulling things over in my mind, I could never find a satisfactory way of approaching the book. [...]
I have decided two things in the past 24 hours. First, I will be doing short updates throughout the week from my iPhone on whatever comes to mind. They’ll be the median between a tweet and a normal blog post, closer probably to tweet size. (for any left wondering what a tweet is, they are [...]
This will (probably) be my last post on Pagan Christianity, (the previous two being here and here) and I wanted to address some comments (and an email) that I have received over the past few days. The book (Pagan Christianity) has apparently been a bit of a controversial deal on the blogosphere, it seems that [...]
I finished Pagan Christianity shortly before leaving for my family vacation last week, I had time to post something beforehand, but I’m lazy, so here it is… only a week and a half late. I found that I actually enjoyed Pagan Christianity more than I thought I would originally. I think there is a largely [...]
I have all next week off (finally using my vacation time, I’m surprised I lasted this long). I’ve decided I’m going to read as much as I can (maybe throw in some video game time too), but I don’t really have anything to read past the book I’m in right now (The Fidelity of Betrayal). [...]
If you’re like me your a prophet with a belly full of fire who can’t be stoped by anything. Except time. I have a tendancy to run hot and cold, normally my hots run quite hots whereas my colds are actually lukewarms, but the point stands that I tend to live a life in which [...]
