Tag yourself I already did

@DanielWHouck @kevinwhector TBD! I have contacts at Marginalia and Mere Orthodoxy, and a few other places on the radar. Maybe I’ll be brave enough to try a journal with this one too!

[Taylor Craig @rtcraig3]

Finishing up @kevinwhector's excellent book in a beautiful spot, and being encouraged to think about the practices we inherit from our fellow Christians and the wisdom they contain. Definitely something I will sit with for a while!

[Taylor Craig @rtcraig3]

@rootandskyfarm @kevinwhector Yes, the ecclesiology of his first book makes an appearance at several points! And also the idea of interpreting believings in terms of doings.

The practices focused on here are things like sacraments, prayer, singing together, forgiveness, laughter and lament, and so on.

[Taylor Craig @rtcraig3]

@kevinwhector I’m sure the book will be encouraging to many! I’m interested in how systematicit’s and practices overlap, and the emphasis on subtle habits of daily formation is refreshing.

The beach has been a bit rainy but still very pleasant. Hope your summer includes some rest as well!

@AndrewTDraper My evangelical friends are always confused that I don't need Greek and Hebrew to study theology... I think there's a sense of "What could theology possibly be besides synthesizing Scriptural texts that are already consistent, if you just read them properly?"

[Taylor Craig @rtcraig3]

@gabrielroth what I want to know is how long ago you got him the book... to be fair most books with that sort of title do NOT work as advertised

[Taylor Craig @rtcraig3]

@troutsky_ @AmishCatholic I think he'd say his whole doctrine of creation is christological, and so this christological-natural is a false dichotomy? He cites Maximus's logos-logoi cosmology on precisely this point (though, of course, only in passing)

[Taylor Craig @rtcraig3]

@gayleviticus I don’t remember having any issues as a new watcher, but it’s been a while!

@mikeleake Here are three things that need to be addressed immediately:

1. Unpaid maternity leave. Compare the US with every other modernized country and think about the options a single mom actually has if she is having a baby.

[Taylor Craig @rtcraig3]

@MattPBranum Is CN necessarily exclusive, claiming a totally unique status for one's own country?

[Taylor Craig @rtcraig3]

This is the money point in this excellent thread re J&JW and its recent (continuing) critics. Du Mez isn't claiming to disprove any theological tenets by showing their social entanglement—but her book means we should probably check our work a few times.

[James Eglinton @DrJamesEglinton]

1) The responses to this show the limitations of Twitter for theological engagement: no context, no nuance… Bavinck actively campaigned against poverty for explicitly Christian reasons & said the OT was written from the perspective of the oppressed. He even said (to much

[Taylor Craig @rtcraig3]

The Christian life is not meant to only be a growth in being less legalistic, less "law-ish," as it is often portrayed, but also a growth in constructive holiness!

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

It really is imperative that this generation of Jesus followers distinguish between legalism and the spiritual disciplines. I keep reading currently published books that talk about nearness to God & I’m like, “Yes!!!” I get so encouraged and built up in my spirit & then they get

[Rachael Denhollander @R_Denhollander]

Yes.

Start by realizing that the vast majority of survivors were forced into public disclosures because no one they told privately, would do the right thing.

Realize that public advocates do this at significant cost to themselves because almost no one else will.

@SeanBaz2 Ecclesiastes is not some reductio ad absurdum about a non-Christian attitude; it is a proper Christian attitude towards work and achievement.
