Hosted a conversation with Dale Allison on the podcast this week talking about a TWITTER FAVORITE: the historicity of the resurrection

It’s publication day! It’s hotly contested whether anyone besides victims can forgive. I argue here for an account of forgiveness that makes sense of third-party forgiveness.

Free to download for now.

I wrote a devotional of sorts cataloguing some modern saints. I wrote it with an eye toward making it a good resource for sermon illustrations, classroom examples, and daily encouragement. You can subscribe to get the entries delivered via email here:

Had a great time talking about faith and peace—what it is and how to pursue it—with my colleagues here at the Presbyterian Church!

Enjoyed a great presentation version of this paper at Rowan U a couple years ago. Looking forward to reading the full version now that it’s out in print.

@thedrift_mag sent me to the world’s largest mining conference. I found an industry framing itself as climate friendly, DEI conscious, and ready to make trillions from the energy transition. I also found prime rib, multipolar geopolitics and lots of rocks https://t.co/YW5YrDXXAU

@blakevictorkent @WheatonCollege Oh, no doubt it’s a good SLAC with impressive students. I didn’t mean to cast doubt on that. But none of that makes the claim of being the ev Harvard any less overblown. But I guess “the evangelical Bates” doesn’t have quite the same ring to it.

[Andrew J. Peterson @andrewjohnp]

@blakevictorkent @WheatonCollege yes, they’re taking a narrow slice. But the question was whether they’re doing that *and* offering anything like an elite education. My point was just that that looks like a stretch by the most obvious metrics. What’s the case that they are in fact the evangelical Harvard?

[Andrew J. Peterson @andrewjohnp]

@blakevictorkent @WheatonCollege Notre Dame and Georgetown, for example, both have acceptance rates between 10-15%. Those numbers would make much more sense out of a claim like “X is the Harvard of this or that Christian tradition.”

[Andrew J. Peterson @andrewjohnp]

@blakevictorkent @WheatonCollege Well right. But the idea is that demand correlated to (at least perceived) academic quality. And the question was whether Wheaton was similar in some respect to Harvard. And the answer looks to be not really. Evangelicalism doesn’t have a Harvard but other Xian traditions might.
