Theology
Jesus as Rabbi

The Historical Jesus vs. the Christ of Faith
[I’m reading a very interesting book on all this – The Meaning of Jesus: two visions, by Marcus Borg and N.T. Wright. Borg’s liberal, and Wright’s conservative, and they’re both highly acclaimed scholars, (and both Oxford graduates in theology). Watch for a summary/review. Rowland]. I’m a practicing Christian, and that means that I go to […]

Hmmm…. the concept may not be true (though modern “string theories” in physics may suggest it […]
Where is God?
William Temple, in his 1932-34 Gifford Lectures published under the title “Nature, Man and God” wrote at one point that we should see the hand of God in the history of the Hittites just as much as in the history of Israel, and that if we don’t see the hand of God in the rising […]
