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.

Jesus Vs Frank Underwood
I just saw what may be the most theologically significant display in any media ever on HOUSE OF CARDS...the Gospel laid out in stark and terrifying detail. Underwood as Satan, embodying coercive power, tempted but only momentarily by the power of persuasive love, confronted by the truth and rabidly attacking it. Blind to true power and consumed by its satanic ape. Wow, that is what the Gospels were really about, that was the reason for Jesus' rejection of political messianism. Have you seen the episode I'm talking about. Crazy, disturbing, filled with the contrast between truth and lies.
