Jesus Creed

Here are pictures of Bellagio, a village on Lake Como. The first is from our hotel room, the second at the edge of the peninsula. The third was our favorite walking promenade along the lake.

Let me begin by provoking with a question: Is Russell Moore’s proposal in chp 3 an emerging proposal? Is his proposal that there is a way beyond traditionist dispensationalism and traditionist covenant theologians a “purple” theology? Is it post-dispensational and post-covenantal? Probably not an emerging theology, but I do think Moore’s proposals in this chp…

So, if Paul contends that it is not about possessing the Torah but doing the Torah, who then is the “true Jew”? Paul’s words in Romans 2:25-29, so I think, would have been heard as nothing short of shocking:

Some time back I suggested you could tell which males were emerging and which weren’t by whether or not you see a belt. If there was a belt visible, shirt tucked in, etc., emerging was a stretch. We found another device to figure which countries our fellow tourists were from.

I confess I am of a certain age, and that age was certain that tattoos were not to be had. Well, that prohibition of tattoos no longer obtains either for those of my “certain age” or for the newer generation. We saw lots of them in Italy, and now I’m wondering about you. Do you…

While Kris and I were in Italy, Alise Barrymore, the former campus minister at North Park and who is starting up a new community church with James King, wrote and asked us to come down to speak about The DaVinci Code. So, we are really excited about joining The Emmaus Community next Sunday. It’s at…

We got up Saturday morning at 4:15am for a 5am drive up to Milano from our place in Camogli. (5am Sat morning in Camogli is 10pm Friday night in Chicago time.) We had heard it would take as much as 3 hours to get there and I think we got there under 2 hours. So,…

Paraclete Press is announcing a “blog tour” where each day a review will appear about Praying with the Church. Let’s make this a conversation about learning about prayer. (You can get a free Jesus Creed if you buy a Praying with the Church.) Here’s how:

We drove yesterday (Thurs) through the hilly wine country south of Alba, got to Monteforte di’ Alba, stopped in a cafe to have a cafe latte, and then lolled our way down to the Autostrade to head to our place in Camiglo. But, we encountered a traffic jam worse than anything we’ve seen in Chicago.

I would say the second chp of Russell Moore’s The Kingdom of the Christ is the finest survey of how eschatology and kingdom have been studied by evangelicals, both dispensational and covenant, in the 20th Century. I lived through most of those days, and Moore’s clearly-written and fairly-judged description is what many need to read…
