(thoughts)

"Before the beautiful-no, not really before but within the beautiful-the whole person quivers. He not only 'finds' the beautiful moving; rather, he experiences himself as being moved and possessed by it."
- Hans Urs von Balthasar

"Everywhere I go, I'm asked if I think the universities stifle writers. My opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them. There's many a best seller that could have been prevented by a good teacher."
- Flannery o'Connor

"Christians are called to leave behind, in the tomb of Jesus Christ, all that belongs to the brokenness and incompleteness of the present world. It is time, in the power of the Spirit, to take up our proper role, our fully human role, as agents, heralds, stewards of the new day that is dawning."
- NT Wright

"When we think our brother or sister has sinned against us, such an affront is not just against us but against the whole community. A community established as peaceful cannot afford to let us relish our sense of being wronged without exposing that wrong in the hopes of reconciliation."
- Stan Hauerwas

"Advertising treats all products with the reverence and the seriousness due to sacraments."
- Thomas Merton

"All the believers were of one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possesions was their own, but they shared everything that they had."
- Acts of the Apostles

"For evil men account those things alone evil which do not make men evil; neither do they blush to praise good things, and yet to remain evil among the good things they praise. It grieves them more to own a bad house than a bad life, as if it were man's greatest good to have everything good but himself."
- St. Augustine

Shout OUTS!

Hey guys. I really have nothing to say right now but I wanted to leave everyone with an update. So, yah... I will leave you a lovely series of links. And you will adore them.

Pontifications, Is Catholicism Semi-Pelagian? - Well, I would have said no. Maybe because I read the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification... Good stuff. Read them both and learn a thing or two.

Not Quite Getting It, Hospital Chaplains Worshipping at the Altar of Chemosh? - OUr RSV reading buddy JHearne talks about the chaplaincy. In my opinion, I think that Christian ministers (as well as other faith traditions) ought to be in the secular hospital. It only makes sense.

Mark Wallace, Attack of the Giant Horchata! - I love horchata. It is my favorite drink. He does too. And he has a picture of it. Mmmm...

Jesus Creed, Woman in Ministry - I think that the title is to say "Women" but whatever... Good little discussions. Read it. And convert, you complementarian people! :)


Wikipedia, Substitutionary Atonement - What do you all think? I'm not a fan of the Penal theory (as anyone who has read for a while knows... last November we discussed it in some deatail. No, I don't have the entry anymore...) Give me some thoughts AFTER reading the article. Anyone have a copy of Cur Deus Homo? I'll pay for shipping and stuff if I can borrow it.

Pleeeease?

J Hearne said...

I like Cur Deus Homo but I think it's regularly misread.

JHearne: Howso? I am starting it now... YAY! What should I look out for?

J Hearne said...

I've met more than my fair share of people who interpret as "ransom theory" atonement.

I believe that's a poor read.
