Scholar’s Call: A Theologian Praying

January 24, 2016 by David Russell Mosley Leave a Comment

Note: You can enjoy David's other thoughtful reflections for the Emerging Scholars Network here  or his personal blog here.     I've been contemplating what to write for my first Scholar's Call post here on the Emerging Scholars Blog. You see, I'm in something of a different position than some of the other writers here. When I contemplate the question(s) how does Christian theology and/or spirituality shape my understanding of my academic discipline and how my discipline in turn deepens my theological perspective I … [Read more...] about Scholar’s Call: A Theologian Praying

November 16, 2015 by Angela O'Neal 3 Comments

John Runciman, King Lear in the Storm, 1767 Act III of Shakespeare's King Lear gets to me every time. Lear, spectacularly blinded by pride and bereft of power in his old age, having foolishly exiled one daughter and exposed himself to betrayal by the other two, retreats into a storm with his Fool and descends into madness, shaking his fist at nature, railing,  “Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks! Rage! Blow!” … [Read more...] about “Your crooked heart”: Literary Study and Spiritual Formation (Scholar’s Call)

Communication for Communion, Part 4 (Scholar’s Call)

September 28, 2015 by David Parry Leave a Comment

David Parry wraps up his Scholar's Call series on Communication for Communion. Find Part 1 here, Part 2 here, and Part 3 here.   Part 4: Communication and Communion It is a mistake to see language as purely instrumental in the sense of being just to convey information or to get things done.
