That time Jesus missed his chance to write a bestseller on universalism. "And someone said to him, 'Lord, will those who are saved be few?' And he said to them, 'Strive to enter through the narrow door...'" (Luke 13:24).

For Chicagoland locals, I worked up this fancy graphic (AI free!) for my talk entitled Miracles on Roosevelt Road... Hope to see you next Monday Dec. 8 at 7pm at the @WheatonPL (online or in person, but please do register at this link) www.wheatonlibrary.org/event/miracl...

And I mention all this (I hope) not to say hey-look-at-me-I-got-to-travel, but to remind everyone how absolutely warping North American & British theological conversations can be. We really aren’t the center, and we certainly aren’t the answer, and that’s easy to forget.

Report from Toronto: growing majors at the U of T include religion, philosophy, and art history (told to me by a prof). Anglican vicar says students are showing up at church out of the blue saying, “I need meaning in my life.”

Like I said, enjoying the resurgence of classical theism.

I’m very much enjoying living through the inevitable resurgence of “classical theism” (or whatever one chooses to call it).

Well, at least the crises in the church today have precedent.

I love that these are next to each other in our library (so that future minds can be rescued from amusingly reductive approaches to mind).

“The Virgin’s brilliance, moreover, is never obscured by the arrival of [Jesus] the son, as is as the constellation Virgo [which is obscured by the sun], but to the contrary is rendered brighter by the presence of what is superior.” -John Geometres

A genuine delight to tag team with iconographer Nick Papas at Villanova (who created this Augustine icon in a matter of hours), to learn of the art of the equally Augustinian Vernon Adams, to meet author Catherine Ricketts, and to finally meet the inestimable Martin Laird!

Aidan Hart is the real deal. Shame on me for not realizing this sooner (though I did know of his work), thanks to Matthew Dallman for getting me to his talk. And in addition to his YouTube talks, he has written it all down. www.aidanharticons.com/product-cate...

Those stale takes on Luther may need an upgrade. This is the upgrade. 👇🏻

Once more, Christians have known this for 2000 years, but we’re delighted psychology is catching up: “I’m going to crush her like a worm, and then I’m going to crush you.” He cites Christian mystics like Dionysius the Areopagite, Maggie Ross and William Johnston as one response.

That time the all-religions-same crowd lost a big fish.
