Theology That Bites Back
This category contains the resources that I have found useful in my personal and professional life. Admittedly, it is an eclectic list. It contains everything from quotes and books that I like to podcasts, videos, and slideshows.
This book is an exercise in moderate extremism, or perhaps you might want to call it radical moderation. There are truths out there in the world that—twenty years ago—everyone either knew or pretended to know. And, as you should know by now, an extremist in 2022 is a moderate of twenty years ago who refused …
“There are times that make artificial sins and artificial heresies, lest they should find no enemies to fight with. It is bad to cry, ‘Peace, peace!’ when there is no peace. It is just as bad, in some ways it is worse, to cry, ‘War, war!’ when there is no war.”

In Tolkien’s great masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, we certainly know who the bad guys are. Orcs are hard to misidentify, as are the Nazgul, or Gollum, or Sauron. The bad guys are straight up bad. In a similar way, we know who the good guys are. We know that Sam is good, and …

Gurnall was a Puritan, through and through. “Can Christ be in thou heart and …
These are tumultuous times to be alive, and one of the things we most desire in such times is orientation. Now for Christians, our ultimate orientation is always to be Christ, but that doesn’t take anything away from our desire to be oriented to the facts as they are on the ground. Say you were …
