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.

In The Image Yet Fallen
We contain within us the image of God and the fallenness of satan. Any philosophical anthropology that fails to do justice to these two experiences is bound to bring disillusionment and to impede creative action. Within us are armies of angels and demons. Only in Christ is peace found and unity restored. Jesus suffering and resurrection embodies in a single unity the warring experiences of both. Within ourselves the war continues on. But in faith, we make sense of the whole. Jesus Christ proved the truth of monotheism. The thing He really saves us from, is unbelief.
