Recommended Eyeball Resters
I enjoy The Sandman, a comic book published by DC, and written by Neil Gaiman. It's very well written and the story is dense with resonances to myth and legend. Annotations for every issue are available. While The Sandman has finished it's run, it is available in trade paperback editions.
Other good comics that I read include
Tales of the Beanworld (see my Beanworld MtG expansion), Tom Strong,
and Cerebus.
I have a whole site about Science Fiction author Gene Wolfe. Check it out, especially my blog news page. I also recommend Cordwainer Smith and Charles Williams for some of the more mind-bending speculative fiction available.
Theological Writings
Some papers I wrote for a seminary class at Philadelphia Theological Seminary (Reformed Episcopal) taught by Ray Sutton are available here. The latter was a paper I did for myself, to give to my session.
When you get down to summary statements is Piper
This final judgment accords with our works. That is, the fruit of the Holy Spirit in our lives will be brought forward as the evidence and confirmation of true faith and union with Christ. Without that validating transformation, there will be no future salvation.different from Wright:
...the Holy Spirit gives the power through which that future verdict, when given, will be seen to be in accordance with the life that the believer has then lived.Some things about the Christianity Today article don't quite sound like Wright though.
But look at the agreement
"Accords" = "in accordance with"
"brought forward as evidence" = "will be seen to be"
"our works" = "life lived"
Why doesn't the Marrow Controversy teach us this:
That the system of doctrine contained in the Westminster Confession is insufficient to defend against legalism, and to do so, you need additional doctrines.
The comments on the last post were actually apropos of my attempted discussion of a sensitive matter here.
Just FYI
