Launching into week 1
Well, my last post generated a bit of heat from a number of places. And I've come to the conclusion that perhaps I don't have the skills, or the skin, to attempt to post anything remotely philosophical in nature. I don't deal with philosophy much. I don't really encounter philosophy much here in seminary, or in church. Doubtless that's a problem in general, especially when it would really be helpful for liberal* Christians to have a bit of a handle on philosophy. Without it, I am apparently too likely to spout "bullshit". Anyway, I'm going to have a go at the odd article. Someone pointed me towards Plantinga's "Theism, Atheism, and Rationality" just today. I'm also considering auditing the newly-added Christian Theology and Contemporary Science, although I've no idea how I could have the time to take that on as well as the classes I'm taking, my job in the Sacristy, and the conference I'm planning.
* liberal in the theological sense, not necessarily the "politically left" sense.
