Reimaging Xianity in the wake of Modernism's passing
Sometimes we are forced to slow down
Meredith and I, because of the nature of our beings and our situation, go go go go go.
Last night I tweeted that it was going to be a long day. I had two lecture to give, a hour and a half to drive, a test to compose, two other lectures to write, a study guide to finish, a test to take, and cursed Hebrew homework to slug through, yadda, yadda, yadda.
Then, at about 11pm, Reed threw up. We spend much of the night tending to his needs, trying to get him to keep formula and pedialyte down to no avail.
My “important” tasks fell by the wayside, swept aside by the humanity and suffering of our son.
I’ll get those other things done later.

Help Needed for Online Student Forum Participation and Grading
about 1 month ago - No comments
This semester, my online class is doing so much better in terms of discussion. I attribute it tougher and more concrete requirements and I am forcing myself to give detailed feedback the day after the discussion posts are due.
While the content of the discussions are up (especially the posts), there still is a lingering problem of overall student cross-engagement. I want to improve the overall quality of discussion, not just increase individual outputs. So, I am thinking of trying out the following methods and I’d like to get your feedback on them.
An incredible vision of a common humanity

I loved things like this as a kid. Even today, when I watch it with Reed, there is something powerful, something activated. It helps me realize our common worth and common heritage and that our ways need not be uniform to be meaningful.

The purpose of this post series is to analyze the Acts of Thomas by looking for how the Thomasine community[1] constructed and negotiated their hidden transcript. Today I want to talk about the historical value of apocryphal narratives.

Good Friday? More like our Day of Mourning.
about 3 months ago - No comments
In class Wednesday, I mentioned that it is a bit odd that Christians call it “Good Friday,” when it is the day that marks the death of their God. A student, as he was leaving, made it a point to tell me that Jesus’ death was a god thing for it saved us from [...]
Truth and Interpretation

I am thinking of having my students first discern the truth of this comic panel from Calvin and Hobbes Complete Collection – 11 – It’s a Magical World:
Trying to think of specific questions to ask them that are designed to get them thinking critically about the nature of truth vs. the nature of interpretation [...]
