This is an open-comment theology blog where I will post various theological musings, mostly in sermon or essay form, for others to read and comment on. If what I say here interests you, you may want to check out some of my books. Feel free to criticize, to critique, to comment, but keep comments to the point and respectful. Many of these posts have been published elsewhere, but I wanted them collected and made available to a wider audience.

The Christian Myth-stic
I am not opposed to myth and legend as something that detracts from Christ, quite the contrary. I believe in myth human beings reach out with mind, heart and soul to some reality outside themselves. Myth is human beings reaching out to the reality called 'God' in an imaginative way. In Christ, in that simple human being, that reality reached back out to us.
