On Piper’s Masculine Christianity And Marriage

Being out last week, I was only able to tune into some of the uproar over John Piper‘s commentary that God gave Christianity a masculine feel by “pervasively revealing Himself as King, not Queen, and as Father, not Mother”.

Process Theology, Cornhole, And Homebrew

I’m also pretty stoked to hear Julie Clawson.  In “God, Creation, and Theology – A Few Questions“, she expresses some of the same concerns about Process thought that I do, particularly concerning the presuppositions that Process moves forward from.

After mocking the entire...
