In the last five months, I’ve done more hiking than I have in the last 15 years. I find trekking the wilderness inspiring.

I complete my brief review of highlights from Philip Clayton's book. And I propose my own ideas about theology's role in transformation.

Theology shouldn’t play a supporting role in the Christian transformation we need so desperately today. It should play the main role!

Many of us recognize the need for transformation in our own lives and in the church. We need wise principles to help us respond well to God’s guidance into this transformation.

I was recently asked to reflect on potential core values of the university at which I teach. The exercise prompted me also to ponder my role as professor.

Communication is a two-way street.  It involves the communicator’s choice of language and a recipient's interpretation of that language. The call for gender-inclusive language sometimes causes tension in Christian circles.
