What Should I Do Differently?
I decided this was a good week to take a blogging break. Instead of crafting blog posts (among other things), I’ll be doing more of what you see pictured (not pictured: still reading). Now, I know what you’re thinking, but no, I’ll only be at the pool, not driving the long hour to Cocoa Beach…

June Editorial
June is finally here, and the last day of school came to a close yesterday afternoon. It is more or less officially summer, although in Florida summer is more of a way of life than a season. In any case, I now have a couple of months of prepping ahead of me for my much…

The Drama of Doctrine: The Dramaturge
[This post is part of The Drama of Doctrine review series] Three weeks ago, we started our way through Kevin Vanhoozer’s The Drama of Doctrine. As Vanhoozer himself recaps for us: Part 1 presented the subject matter and subsequent form of theology in terms of a triune theo-drama of redemption. Theology is evangelical to the extent that…

40 Questions About The End Times
Eschatology is not a topic that comes up here often, though I have a series of posts devoted to the subject. Book reviews are a bit more sparse, so this is probably the first one to highlight a book about the end times. So far, I’ve been a fan of the 40 Questions series and…

The Drama of Doctrine: The Drama
[This post is part of The Drama of Doctrine review series] Last week, we started our way through Kevin Vanhoozer’s The Drama of Doctrine. Now, we’re ready to jump into the first part of the book: the drama itself. This particular part of the book as Vanhoozer states right off the bat, “brings all the elements that…
