Moltmann believes that truth is to be found in dialogue rather than in assertive dogmatics and theological systems. I would add that for genuine dialogue to occur, trust must be present. Do we trust the other enough to discover truth? Are we trustworthy enough to reflect truth?

The passion of Nietzche

I received a gift certificate to a bookstore for Father’s Day and spent a few hours trying to find a good book on the life of Jesus. There was no shortage of books, from Just give me Jesus by Anne Graham Lotz (Billy Graham’s daughter) to This Hebrew Lord by liberal John Shelby Spong. As…

Last night was the first of an eight-week discussion on Quantum Physics and Spirituality, hosted by Doug Pagitt, pastor of Solomon’s Porch. We met at his home to watch the first two episodes of a 24-part series on Quantum Physics, then discussed how this revolution in…

And then there were three

As soon as we regard God from without as a mere object of knowledge, or a mere occasion for…

Dams of Heaven by Tom

When the dams of heaven burst, will you still venture into the night, into the torrent, to follow that small voice calling from the edge of the storm?

As the waters rise, push on. Follow the sound of His voice. He won’t stop calling your name.
