Versus Populum: September 2009
http://versuspopulum.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
A public square for the respectful discussion of issues of the day that face Christian believers. Friday, September 18, 2009. Just a Note from Tertullian. From Tertullian's De Corona. Should it be held lawful to make an occupation of the sword when the Lord proclaims that he who uses the sword shall perish by the sword? And shall the son of peace take part in battle when it does not even become him to sue at the law courts? Shall he carry a flag, too, hostile to Christ? Friday, September 11, 2009. I know...

A public square for the respectful discussion of issues of the day that face Christian believers. Tuesday, March 24, 2009. Where is the authoritative voice in the Church proclaiming the clear will of God as expressed in Holy Scripture? And yet despite that clear witness, the majority voice in the Church – at least since the day. Tuesday, March 10, 2009. Place as a Living Reality. Paul Gruchow, Grass Roots: The Universe of Home.

http://versuspopulum.blogspot.com/2009/09/day-of-remembering-and-repenting.html
A public square for the respectful discussion of issues of the day that face Christian believers. Friday, September 11, 2009. A Day of Remembering and Repenting. I know that I said I was going away, but I posted this on my FaceBook today, and I think it has relevance to the reason for this blog, so I repost it here:. And how about "liberal" commitment: How many supposed liberals and non-violent Christians found themselves shouting for the bombing of Afghanistan, because "they" (who? No, we lost our convi...

Versus Populum: More on Michael Root's Thesis
http://versuspopulum.blogspot.com/2009/09/more-on-michael-roots-thesis.html
A public square for the respectful discussion of issues of the day that face Christian believers. Friday, September 04, 2009. More on Michael Root's Thesis. In a post, below, I commended a recent paper by Michael Root. In it, he analyzes a kind of development of doctrine in Lutheran theology. Lee commented, and I find that I can't fit my reply into a comment box, so I raise it again, here. You assert that Michael Root misses "the main point: is homosexuality immoral? I mean, do we really? It is such majo...

Versus Populum: October 2009
http://versuspopulum.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
A public square for the respectful discussion of issues of the day that face Christian believers. Thursday, October 15, 2009. I stole this from somewhere. My reading of Matthew says that the bartender's comment is a heavy conviction of life in the Church. I don't read this, as some of my Lutheran friends might, as theology of glory or as happy-clappy theology. We we start behaving like Tony's type of Christian, we will find crosses aplenty to carry - the right ones this time. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

A public square for the respectful discussion of issues of the day that face Christian believers. Friday, September 04, 2009. The Gospel Power of Music. Thanks to the locally produced public radio program, Performance Today. Herewith, Mr. Paulnack's talk:. Welcome Address, by Karl Paulnack. Given what we have since learned about life in the concentration camps, why would anyone in his right mind waste time and energy writing or playing music? And yet—from the camps, we have poetry, we have music, w...

A public square for the respectful discussion of issues of the day that face Christian believers. Tuesday, September 08, 2009. I have decided that I need officially to note what has become increasingly clear on this blog: I'm going on sabbatical because I find that I have less and less to say. When I have posted recently, I have felt pressure to put something out there. (What hubris. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. What I'm Reading Now.

Versus Populum: Tradition
http://versuspopulum.blogspot.com/2009/08/tradition.html
A public square for the respectful discussion of issues of the day that face Christian believers. Tuesday, August 04, 2009. We all know Tevye's meditation on "tradition" in Fiddler on the Roof. And I hope you know Jaroslav Pelikan's distinction of "tradition" from "traditionalism" - viz., that tradition is the living faith of the dead and traditionalism is the dead faith of the living. Well, there is also this from G.K. Chesterton, from Orthodoxy. At the online Lutheran Journal of Ethics. Taleb, The Blac...
