@TheDaveHerman I have only read MacDonald’s “The Princess and the Goblin” and a dozen or so sermons. Just saw this podcast’s recent series on MacDonald’s “Lilith” and listened to the first episode, so that’s moved up on my reading list. https://t.co/apo59fer0n

@dwcongdon Taught the Reformation in APEuro the past couple weeks. My students have little connection w Xianity, so providing context is key. This time, I was struck by how regularly conflict centers on the Eucharist. 1054 schism, 1529 @ Marburg, & today w RCs & LWF despite the 1999 JDDJ.

@dwcongdon I think this is right, that is, thinking about this in terms of motivations rather than in terms of the ideals.

Getting through election night by alternating between these.

This was great! And there’s an audio option! Made me interested in reading de Martino on eschatology and apocalypse.

@dwcongdon I was going to ask what postliberal missiology looked like on a post you made above where you discuss their rejection of translation, but here it is.

@nostosaphthitos I could listen to “The Lighting of the Beacons” all day every day on repeat, especially starting after 3:50. https://t.co/ODuPrNJ767

@maklelan Genuinely interested in what you make of Ex 13:1, 11–16 & its relation to Ex 22:29. Ex 4:21–26 is interesting too w the LORD almost killing Moses’s firstborn, stopping only after his son receives the sign of the covenant by Zipporah. Sacrifice, yes, but redemption overrides this?

[Matthew Warren @Matthew__Warren]

His persecution narrative is really significant. He then checks enough theological boxes (given one ignores much) to pass muster, especially regarding the Bible. All of a sudden, you have an Evangelical superhero who took on the Nazis, with violence to boot! Again, ignoring much.

[Matthew Warren @Matthew__Warren]

I think there is enough there in Bonhoeffer for many conservative Evangelicals to hang onto. Now, this requires much cherry-picking, distortion, and ignoring quite a bit of Bonhoeffer’s own words. His view of Scripture is a good example.

[Matthew Warren @Matthew__Warren]

Oh, and while “Creation and Fall” is not a Creationist reading, at this point, we are likely too far down the reading list or from the plot against Hitler to interesting most. If you read all of Bonhoeffer, he’s simply not an Evangelical. But that takes time, effort, and honesty.

[Matthew Warren @Matthew__Warren]

@MattThiessenNT @dwcongdon If they do, which I think depends on who we are talking about—if they even know who Barth is, Bonhoeffer can get you everything you need from Barth theologically/spiritually and doesn’t have the baggage of having been a socialist.

[Matthew Warren @Matthew__Warren]

@collincornell1 I think his contrast of a forensic orientation w/ a metaphysical one makes sense given the reformers emphasis on imputed righteousness over infused righteousness. I don’t hear much in those terms lately, but this cashes out in soteriological divisions over anthroposis vs theosis.

[Matthew Warren @Matthew__Warren]

@dwcongdon Wow. Just add a little Greg Bahnsen on presuppositional apologetics and theonomy and your training will be complete!

[Matthew Warren @Matthew__Warren]

@dwcongdon Such hawking can really make one see the sense of Zwingli.
