Book Review: Jesus The Sage

May 6, 2014 by Bob Trube Leave a Comment

My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Colossians 2:2-3, NIV). A number of years ago, C. S. Lewis framed the Liar, Lunatic, Lord argument that asserted that Jesus could not possibly have been merely a good teacher–either he lied about his own identity which would make him not good, he was deluded … [Read more...] about Book Review: Jesus The Sage

Is Reality Secular? Part 1

December 26, 2013 by Tom Grosh IV 1 Comment

Is reality secular? Is adequate knowledge secular? And is that something that has been established as a fact by thorough and unbiased inquiry? Is this something that today's secular universities thoroughly and freely discuss in a disciplined way? (11) Mary Poplin  wastes no time in establishing the centrality of Dallas Willard's questions to  Is Reality Secular? What is the nature of reality?  (InterVarsity Press, 2014).  Early in Chapter 1: Truth and Consequences, she  relates the story of a seminar in which she asks, … [Read more...] about Is Reality Secular?

http://vimeo.com/54601664 I came the across What is the gospel?  in Rachel Held Evans'  Sunday Superlatives 6/9/2013. She gave  Krish Kandiah's interview of  N.T. Wright*  the distinction of  Best Interview.  Did Evans come across What is the gospel?  in a "ramp up" to her recent  Ask N.T. Wright . . .? In the midst of all the difficult material posted on her  blog, I was encouraged that  Sunday Superlatives 6/9/2013  began  with  Larissa Willard's Tribute to her grandfather Dallas … [Read more...] about What is the gospel?
