There will be (8) categories (so 8 posts). Today I announce my winner (and honorable mentions) fort the category JESUS AND THE GOSPELS. Jesus and the Gospels WINNER: Helen Bond,The First Biography of Jesus Bond s book shows the real interpretive payoffs of reading Mark in the genre of Greco-Roman biography. It is well-researched and masterfully written. Runner Up: Matthew Thiessen,Jesus and the Forces of Death Fresh, provocative, convincing Read moreMarc Cortez, Professor of Theology, Wheaton College and Graduate School Why do you love teaching and researching about Christian theology? Where to begin! The most obvious response is that God is infinitely amazing, all that he has done is inexhaustibly fascinating, and a right understanding of God and everything in relation to God should fundamentally shape every aspect of human existence. That seems to provide a rather rich starting point for why I love theology! All of those same reasons Read more Veli-Matti K rkk inen, Professor of Systematic Theology, Fuller Theological Seminary and Docent of Ecumenics, Faculty of Theology, University of Helsinki Why do you love teaching and researching about Christian theology? Christian (systematic) theology is far more than a discussion of doctrines, as important as that is. Theology is about a comprehensive, world-embracing vision of God and the world. If so, nothing is more exciting and exhilarating than helping students capture that life-affirming hopeful vision and begin to apply it Read moreDaniel Castelo, Professor of Dogmatic and Constructive Theology at Seattle Pacific University and Seminary Why do you love teaching and researching about Christian theology? I love teaching and researching Christian theology because in doing so I feel most alive. I felt the call to pursue this work fairly early in my life (as a teenager), in particular upon reading Dietrich Bonhoeffer s Discipleship. I realized by reading this work that there was a world out there where people loved God with Read more Ellen T. Charry, Margaret W. Harmon Professor of Systematic Theology Emerita, Princeton Theological Seminary Why do you love teaching and researching about theology? I love teaching theology because it gives students a bigger monitor with which to see God, the world, and themselves. Placing a new idea before someone and seeing a few open their eyes to it is thrilling because ideas shape values, attitudes, behavior, and identity. In any class if 10-15% are able to lift their lids Read moreMy Northern Seminary faculty assistant, Cody Matchett, wrote an excellent paper on Law of Christ (Gal 6:2) for a recent seminary course I taught on Galatians. I asked him to share (briefly) a short version of his work. Cody looked at several of the earliest patristic writers understanding of Law of Christ. He offers excerpts as well as his own synthesis and final reflections on the meaning of this much debated Pauline phrase. Not Law, but the way of Christ Read moreMATTHEW LEVERING, Professor in the Department of Dogmatic Theology, University of Saint Mary of the Lake Why do you love teaching and researching about theology? The questions of theology are very personal for me. I don t take faith for granted I am grateful to God for reaching out to me in mercy, calling me into his life in Jesus Christ. Absent God, the world would strike me as a profoundly dark place. I recall interviews in which Woody Allen bemoans the Read moreKarin Spiecker Stetina, Associate Professor, Biola University/Talbot School of Theology Why do you love teaching and researching about Christian theology? I am passionate about teaching theology that is aimed at loving the Lord our God with all our hearts, minds, souls and strength (Matt. 22:37). I aim to relate theology to following Christ in daily life. I have taught theology and church history for over 20 years at Wheaton College and Biola University. My research interests include Reformation theology and Read moreKevin J. Vanhoozer, Research Professor of Systematic Theology, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School Why do you love teaching and researching about Christian theology? Teaching and researching Christian theology enables me to do (almost) all the things I love: delve into and interpret Scripture; develop doctrine and make disciples; make sense of human experience and contemporary culture; integrate biblical studies, church history, and philosophy. Christian theology is the greatest intellectual challenge of which I am aware. The ultimate point of seeking understanding Read moreSharon Galgay Ketcham, Professor of Theology and Christian Ministries, Gordon College, MA Why do you love teaching and researching about Christian theology? I love teaching theology to undergrads for two reasons. First, it provides an opportunity to introduce them to the long and varied ways in which Christians have made sense of faith and life. For many students, they are familiar with the biblical narrative and some theological terms. Yet when they learn about the early councils, the differences between Read moreAlso, send me the Evangelical Newsletter and special offers.Yes, I want the Patheos Evangelical Newsletter as wellPlease also opt me in for Exclusive Offers from Patheos s Partners Privacy and Data Policy
