A ReKnew Website Primer
In many ways, the ReKnew website has become something like an introductory systematic theology resource centered around the beautiful God we find in Jesus. It is a resource that helps us rethink twelve core theological convictions. ReKnew invites you to:
- ReThink the Source of Life
- ReThink the Nature of Faith
- ReThink Our Picture of God
- ReThink Biblical Inspiration
- ReThink the Kingdom of God
- ReThink The Church
- ReThink Providence
- ReThink the Atonement
- ReThink Salvation
- ReThink Humanity
- ReThink Hell
- ReThink End Times
You can read a brief description of each of these here. In addition, you will find suggested books that will take you further into each of those topics.
However, before you dive into those books, you can survey various posts and introductory thoughts on each of these twelve core convictions by clicking here. If, for instance, you want to read about rethinking our picture of God, there is a list of posts that discuss this point.
You can also do a search on a more specific topic. Let’s say you want to read about predestination or Augustine; just type that topic into the search field here, and you will find more than you can read in one sitting.
For those performing a study on a specific passage of the Bible, use the search by verse field and type in the abbreviation for the book that you are searching. So, for instance, for Ephesians type in “Eph” and you’ll see a drop-down list of all the posts that reference passages from that book.
Take a few minutes, poke around. Rethink something that you thought you already knew. It might change your life.

Our Commitment to Love (and Avoiding Theological Idolatry)
Given that we have just launched ReKnew, I thought it would be helpful to spend a good portion of our initial blogs unpacking the theological vision of ReKnew. Our goal is to post content to the site at least three or four times a week, with two of these posts (on average) being fresh content from me addressing particular theological topics. The other posts will be things such as videos, quotes of the day, featured articles from elsewhere on the web questions from readers, and so on.
Before I begin unpacking ReKnew’s theological vision in subsequent posts, however, today I want to offer four preliminary words about the theological convictions I’ll be espousing.
The Deadly Nature of Religious Idolatry
I’m in the process of fleshing out the core convictions of ReKnew as I laid them out in the “ReKnew Manifesto.” Our first core conviction concerns where we are to get our LIFE from, so in my previous post on this topic I addressed “The One True Source.” Before moving on to the second core conviction…
A ReKnew Manifesto
As our curious name indicates, ReKnew exists to encourage believers and skeptics alike to re-think things they thought they already knew. We want to promote a beautiful, Jesus-looking vision of God and his kingdom. We want to promote a host of related theological convictions that we believe were compromised or lost in traditional Christianity—especially since…

First, if it’s really true that Jesus is the way to Father and that no one comes to the Father except through him, (Jn 14:6) then it seems that no other religious leader or religious doctrine can bring us to the Father. “The” is a definite article, and it implies singularity. “A dog” could refer…
