Theology Thursdays

I am nothing more than a Desk-Chair Philosopher with a closet-love for Theology.

Nonetheless, I’ve decided to join TransformingTheology.org in their Blog-Tour.

Philip Clayton and Harvey Cox both have new books out and they are taking them out on tour. One of the blog tour stops will be here, but as you can see below they will be making their rounds over the next month until they wrap things up in Montreal at the American Academy of Religion’s annual meeting. There they will be joined by an illustrious panel including Eric Gregory, Bruce Sanguin, Serene Jones, Frank Tupper, and Andrew Sung Park to share a ‘Big Idea’ for the future of the Church. These ‘Big Ideas’ will be video tapped and shared, so be on the look out for live footage from the last night of the tour.

Philip’s new book is Transforming Christian Theology for Church & Society and Harvey’s is The Future of Faith. Both are worth checking out at one of the many tour stops. If you can’t wait you can listen to them interview each other.

As part of the Transforming Theology Bloggers, I will be blogging my way through Harvey Cox’s book The Future of Faith. Every Thursday for the next indefinite amount of weeks, I will post a new entry in what I call Theology Thursdays

If that’s not why you’re here on The Drift, then you’re welcome to ignore those entries! However, because I know The Drift has attracted a community of varied viewpoints, I hope to have you join in the conversation, no matter what your Socio-religious background.

Though I will be writing predominantly from a Western Christian Religion mind, as that is where both I and Cox stand, I strive to write in such a way that presents Faith as something attractive and necessary for all. I will walk many a fine-line in my writing, and I welcome your comments and critiques.

I only ask you follow The Golden Commenting Rule:
Comment unto others as you wish them to comment unto you.
