A new review of Minding the Web has recently been posted on the Reading Religion website sponsored by the American Academy of Religion.  The review, written by Calida Chu, a doctoral student at the University of Edinburgh, can be accessed here.

“The good news is we do not get to be our own judge. We do not get to determine what our sins may be.

The problem, of course, is that he is not the God who has come to us in Jesus Christ. That God—the God that has come to us in Christ—is sufficient to Himself, but that suf­ficiency is the love that has constituted the life of the Trinity from all eternity. Our sin, quite simply, is our refusal to be loved by such a God.”¹ Continue reading Sin, What it Is and What It’s Not (Series on “Minding the Web”) →

At long last, I have finally gotten around to posting the last of the audio from the event celebrating the launch of my book, For the Life of the World: Jesus Christ and the Church in the Theologies of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Stanley Hauerwas, on the Book Launch Celebration page.  The final audio clip features my responses to the three presenters.  In order to maintain a manageable file size, I had to edit out some of my preliminary comments and words of thanks.  In spite of the absence of these words of thanks from the audio, I remain profoundly thankful for all who helped out in various ways to make the evening such a success.
