A Home Church Ministry
A personal tour through the theological books that have most shaped my thinking and ministry, from Aquinas, Calvin, Arminius, and the Orthodox tradition to Oden, Cottrell, Forlines, Olson, and others. These books represent different Christian traditions, but together they demonstrate the remarkable depth and breadth of the Church's theological inheritance—and the value of learning from the whole body of Christ.

Is truth just what culture or power decide, or is it objective and given? Post 2 traces Scripture's answer through Calvin's account of what we can't unknow.
Is something good because God says so, or does God say so because it's good? Post 1 traces that ancient question into Scripture's answer.
