A short review of William Hasker’s The Triumph of God over Evil (2008) (Thanks to Heather Mascarello of IVP for the review copy)
As I’m working my way through William Hasker’s thought provoking book, The Triumph of God over Evil, I thought I would do a brief review of chapter 3, which I think is one of the most important [...]

Pastor asks members to bring guns to church
Says it’s a good way for his Ky. flock to celebrate Independence Day

Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us,
Facing the rising [...]

The post reminds me of Brueggerman’s groundbreaking work “Theology Of The Old Testament: Testimony, Dispute, Advocacy.” I reckon that there are some biblical tensions that are just not negotiable and/or reconciliable.

Perhaps more seminary and divinity schools should offfer a course on “The Theology of Suffering, Disability and the Church” as it just launched at DTS . Oh how much, we need such teaching in Western Christianity! That will help us all to (1) understand what it means to be human, (2) appreciate human pain , (3) [...]
