The Rule of Love

…together. And to speak specifically of the unity of the two testaments, scholars have traditionally held that this unity can be discerned by identifying particular types, anti-types, symbols, analogies, motifs, and even allegories that bridge them together. I believe, however, that the most profound unity of Scripture is reflected in…

…running sores or damaged testicles” (Lev. 21:17-20). The passage concludes by depicting the Lord as declaring that allowing such people to “go near the curtain or approach the altar” would “desecrate my sanctuary” (Lev. 21:23). The text offers no explanation as to why the presence of physically imperfect people “desecrates”…
How Calvinism Misses the Point About Salvation
Category: General
Tags: Calvinism, Election, Open Theism, Predestination
Topics: Defending the Open View
Calvinists sometimes argue that various passages in John teach that the Father chooses and then “draws” certain people to Christ. Those who are “drawn” certainly come to Christ (John 6:37) while all who are not drawn remain in their sin. For example, John portrays Jesus as repeatedly teaching that “no…
10 Problems with the Penal Substitution View of the Atonement

Tags: Atonement, Christus Victor, Cross, Penal Substitution View of Atonement
Topics: Atonement and The Cross
…Jesus reconciles us to God? Yet the New Testament claims the latter and never the former (e.g. 2 Cor. 5:18-20). In fact, if God loves sinners and yet can’t accept sinners without a sacrifice, wouldn’t it be even more accurate to say that God reconciles God to himself than to…
God’s Church is Not “Pretty”

Topics: The Church
…church is a kingdom community to the extent that it reflects and participates in the beauty of God’s own triune being. But this doesn’t mean that kingdom communities always look pretty. “Pretty” is about how something looks. “Beauty” is about the way something is. The beauty of kingdom communities doesn’t…
The Revelation of God in the Cross

…thousands of people who were tortured and executed by the Romans. If we do not keep the resurrection closely connected to the cross, it can easily become a triumphant explosion of supernatural power that not only lacks the enemy-loving, self-sacrificial character of the cross; it actually subverts it! There is…

…apply it. While sleeping or awake, God communicated then and communicates now to those who are receptive to the things he wants people to hear and see. He inspires the imagination. God wants to be known by his people in concrete, vivid, personal, and transforming ways. And this has never…

…from people, deeds, and things what only God can give for free. The solution to this problem is Jesus Christ. Just as Jesus uncovers the truth of the real nature of God, over against the serpent’s lie about God, Jesus uncovers the truth about what it means to be fully…

…until we resolve it with our free choices. And since future possibilities are real, the open view holds that God omnisciently knows the future partly as a realm of possibilities. Obviously, not everyone is comfortable with this view of God’s foreknowledge since it appears at first glance that God is…

…to as the “works of the flesh” (Gal 5:19). To die to the flesh is the greatest liberation possible. As we are freed from the grand illusion that we can meet our own needs, our built-in homing device begins to work correctly. We’re on our way home. And we don’t…
Religion that Blinds Us to God
Category: General
Tags: Jesus, Relationships, Religion, Religious Idolatry
For a variety of reasons, many Jews at the time of Jesus had come to believe that heaven had been closed since the writing of the last book of the Old Testament. God was distant and no longer active among his people. Their religion focused on holding fast to the…

Crucifixion of the Warrior God
Topics: Biblical Interpretation, Interpreting Violent Pictures and Troubling Behaviors
Author: Gregory Boyd Publisher: Fortress Press ISBN-10: 1506420753 Buy on Amazon A dramatic tension confronts every Christian believer and interpreter of Scripture: on the one hand, we encounter Old Testament stories of God commanding horrendous violence. On the other hand, we read the unequivocally nonviolent teachings of Jesus in the…
Endorsements for Crucifixion of the Warrior God
Category: General, Press
Tags: Crucifixion of the Warrior God, Cruciform Theology
…nothing confirms the faith of the same people more than the cruciform love and peace of Jesus in the New Testament. Boyd’s proposal is to bring these two poles into a cruciform hermeneutic. The old approach of Marcion doesn’t resolve the problem, and neither do dismissals of the Old Testament…
The Perfect Love of God

Topics: Attributes and Character
…could anything be further from the Trinity—united in unsurpassable, intense love—than for God to experience his antithesis? To support this claim, I want to quote a few people. Feldmeier and Spieckermann observe that Jesus’ revelation of God’s very nature as love “attained perfection in his Passion.”[1] Anders Nygren states that…

…unborn children on the ground. Searching for a Consistent Interpretation. Still, if Jesus meant to depict God cutting people to pieces in the passages Copan cites, then we must concede that Jesus’ revelation of God is not altogether loving and non-violent. But this concession would also create a tremendous problem…

Final Thoughts on Copan’s Critique of Crucifixion of the Warrior God

Topics: Interpreting Violent Pictures and Troubling Behaviors
…Now, throughout this series I have argued that these passages do not in fact implicate God in violence, but there is a more general, and more important, point that needs to be made. Even if, for the sake of argument, I were to grant that certain NT passages implicate God…
How Important Is the Cross?
Category: General
“God is love” (1 Jn 4:8). Pretty much every Christian accepts this. The problem, though, is that our understanding about what, exactly, love is remains obscure. Discussions on the nature of love can easily devolve into abstraction. But the crucifixion cuts through all ambiguity by defining love in one supreme,…
