Thanks Prodigal Kiwi for the link … and introducing the book. I’ve always been facinated by the monastic movement in the early church. Now it’s interesting to see how this New Monasticism plays its role for church and society today. Walking through these 12 marks will prove challenging and life changing: 1) Relocation to the…

Systematic Theology: Volume 3 by Wolfhart Pannenberg (book review) I was glancing through some parts of chapters on church which is indeed substantial while putting Gareth to sleep. I thought might as well read a review by Robert Jenson to get a broad feel … Wolfhart Pannenberg: God the Spirit – and Natural Science Some…
Random Thoughts at 12:07pm onwards
It’s been quite a fruitful two days. Yesterday I had a chance to sit through some lectures on “Preaching Prophetic Narratives” by Princeton Prof. Seow which as always was insighful – he worked through passages from 1 Kings 19-21 and 2 Kings 5 and I felt it helped me appreciate good exegetical work combined with…
