Question 2: What is Truth?
[One reminder - we are trying to stick with short, succinct responses to the questions. I understand that this one was a bit more difficult than "What is the gospel?", but the goal is to be able to give answers that are no longer than 3-5 sentences]
I honestly wasn’t too sure [...]

“What is…” Begins Tomorrow
March 4, 2007
As I started to think about the topics I had hoped to cover in the “What is…” series - I began to realize that I may be taking on more than I can handle, but we will see. I have twelve “What is” topics that I want to focus on; a few of them include [...]

“So, what do the postmoderns think?”
October 6, 2005
Today in one of my precepts, we were having a conversation about creeds, atonement theories, salvation, cathechismal (we think it’s a word). At the end, one of my classmates looked at me and said, “So, what do the postmoderns think?”
It kind of caught me off-guard for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, I’m [...]

A gospel question
October 3, 2005
I was in my preaching class the other day and we were talking about different models of preaching. We mentioned the container method, which basically assumes that there is one little golden “nugget” of truth in the Scripture that one is attempting to find and get from the “container” of the Word of God. We [...]

EC05: pomomusings on T(t)ruth
May 19, 2005
What is Truth, truth or T(t)ruth?
One thing mentioned over and over again today during our “Truth” Learning Community was that truth is found in community. Now, I’m not sure exactly which way to run with that - is truth found? Created? Discovered? Or anything else?
My understanding of truth is that truth with a capital T, [...]

Reimagining…
March 25, 2004
Finished Doug’s book Reimagining Spiritual Formation during the drive to Jackson (my mom, and others, still think that’s horrible, but…I’m doing good so far). Enjoyed reading about a community that is actually trying to put many of these new(and old) ideas into action, practicing their faith out on a day-to-day basis. Definitely good to hear [...]

Oral Tradition
January 14, 2004
Eerdmans Bible Dictionary says this about Oral Tradition:
There can be no doubt that most of the Bible existed first in oral form. The oracles of the prophets, the psalms of the Jerusalem cult, the parables and teachings of Jesus all were first delivered verbally. The major dispute among scholars concerns the length of time between [...]

Community as Epistemological Reference Point
January 13, 2004
Whitworth professors Dr. Dale Soden & Kathy Storm [also the Vice President of Student Life] wrote an article for Christian Scholar’s Review in 1996 entitled How Firm a Foundation? Postmodernism and the Multicultural Agenda. Dale sent it to me awhile ago, and I reread it a few days ago. While not well-received at Whitworth in [...]
