  • Robert Munday—Healing the Fault Lines in Christianity


    TitusOneNineAuthority Authority: 546
    The third reason I believe that orthodox Anglicans must take the lead in overcoming our divisions and manifesting the unity of the Church is that our disunity impairs our witness. It is only a united witness to the truth of the Gospel that can reach a world that is slipping into post-Christianity precisely through the ...

  • Dr Williams’ address to the Willebrands Symposium


    onetimothyfourAuthority Authority: 422
    It seems that Dr Williams must be a Telegraph reader, and took seriously George Pitcher’s vituperative piece a few days back ‘Its time for Dr Rowan Williams to square up to a rampant Rome’. His address to the Willebrands Symposium would certainly seem to be an attempt to put in their place anyone (such as Pope ...

  • A Non-Institutional, Unorganized Church?


    The Reformed ReaderAuthority Authority: 420
    I just finished reading a book that utilizes a “trendy” font, talks about Jesus, kingdom, The Shack, missions, Starbucks, and even Lunesta.  The authors are younger guys with goatees.  It is true, these guys should be Emergent, but they are not .  Instead, they got together to write a book telling why and ...

    Peter J. LeithartAuthority Authority: 555
    Discussing Barth’s distinction of the “church of Esau” and the “church of Jacob” in the Romerbrief , Michael Horton ( People and Place: A Covenant Ecclesiology ) gets Barth’s weaknesses exactly right.  First, “Barth seems to assume that ’secularity’ is neutral, objective, descriptive science” ...

  • The Church’s Unrest


    Inhabitatio DeiAuthority Authority: 559
    Jürgen Moltmann’s The Church in the Power of the Spirit continues to be one of the most impressive books I’ve yet encountered from him. In fact, I’ve found Moltmann’s work here quite helpful in light of the recent discussions about the viability of Hauerwas’s ecclesiology that have emerged from Nate ...

  • Does Mission Make the Church?


    Inhabitatio DeiAuthority Authority: 559
    According to the early church’s own self-narration in the book of Acts it would seem so. In Acts 2 clearly it is the pentecostal coming of the Holy Spirit which initiates the new messianic reality through the apostles. But, the logic of the Spirit’s movement is not Pentecost-Church-Mission, but ...

  • Tradition and Messianic Liberation

  • Why the church is vitally important...


    1517Authority Authority: 479
    Good stuff from Carl Trueman... It is all too easy for the theological student to end up remembering God as an object of knowledge; it is quite another thing to remember him as the all-surpassing subject of existence. This is why church is vitally important. OK, long-standing readers of Themelios know what is ...
