Words in Flesh chronicles a dusty old dad’s growing suspicion that God is and is becoming all things, to make all things into God. It’s yet another theology and philosophy blog, in other words and alas. In its pages you will meet mostly three types of entry:
Essays or Meditations on theological and philosophical miscellany.
Book Reviews on the same.
Whatever else captures my fancy—“Holding Forth,” let’s call it.
I will also keep an archive of all interviews, panels, and conversations whose hosts have been sufficiently hoodwinked to involve me.
The basic conviction animating this whole endeavor is that of my own Christian faith and spirituality: faith summons and makes possible the impossible task to know God, a task perfected only in interpersonal love (1 Cor 13.12). The Truth is not just a truth but the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, who is also a completely human being, a creature. That ought to be a vertiginous claim; its implications remain far from clear. Which is no bother, since, after all, we live in the very earliest ages of God’s self-revelation in and as Jesus Christ, who is becoming and will be the true cosmos (Col 3.11).
I should also add that I cohost a podcast, History & Dogma, with Dr. Charles Hughes-Huff, a Catholic scholar of the Hebrew Bible. It’s here.
