Great Christian Thought class today. We're in a unit on revelation, scripture, tradition, & method. So we brought Justo González's "Reading the Bible in Spanish" from Mañana into conversation w/ @kat_armas's "Research Grief" in Abuelita Faith. Grateful for fruitful dialogue.

Happy to get this today from @BakerAcademic! I found the 1st ed of Turning Points at Half Price Books when I was a newly converted teen. I had no idea who Mark Noll was but I had a million questions about church history & theology. So I picked up his book for $6. 1/2 https://t.co/Fm1Fi4xhKG

Btw, this definition is inspired by, if I remember correctly, Albert Wolters’ summary in Creation Regained. I’ve changed some things, but I’m pretty sure that’s the root of what I’ve written here.

In her beautiful book, “H is for Hawk,” Helen MacDonald describes a placating smile given to an arrogant know-it-all as “a thin veneer for murder.” And it troubles me a little just how well I understand her meaning.

“…that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the living and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.” - BCP 2/2

On second thought, maybe a biography of Sylvia Plath and Miriam Toews' Women Talking weren't the best ways to begin the new year... 🥴
