Prepping to speak on "Authority as a Gift to the Church? The Paradox of Authority in the Mennonite Tradition" to pastors from Mennonite Church Eastern Canada next week...

One of the strengths of Placher’s Essentials of Christian Theology are the essays on creation by Sallie McFague and Kathryn Tanner. They always stimulate great discussion!

Congratulations. Sounds like a great role and a great fit!

It’s in International J of Systematic Theology which has a paywall. But I’m always happy to send PDF. It seems this platform doesn’t have DMs (or does it?). You can find my email address at my institutional webpage.

I start my theology course with Nicholas M. Healy's "What is Systematic Theology?" article because of his helpful distinctions between official, ordinary, and academic theology, and theology’s uneasy place in both church and university. My MTS students (and I!) find this freeing.

Interesting

That’s great! Congratulations.
