Stan Lanier @sll912.bsky.social · 19/08/2026I have always found Kermode instructive. I have read a lot of Kermode over the years, much more than Alter. Trying to gain context, I take it this has to do with teaching the Bible as literature rather than divine revelation? 000
Stan Lanier @sll912.bsky.social · 07/08/2026I have a doctorate in theology and,also, have the complete Dogmatics but not all his other written works. 000
Stan Lanier @sll912.bsky.social · 07/08/2026As a member of the Greek Chorus, I am aware of the prodigious nature of your reading appetites and your analytical capabilities. 000
Stan Lanier @sll912.bsky.social · 07/08/2026No assumptions whatsoever were made. If you’ve read all 13 volumes of the Dogmatics, good on ya. I suppose I could have worded my reply as a question in the form of “Have you read…” Believe me, mine was a mere comment without the ascribed intention. Wasn’t trying to stir you up. 200
Stan Lanier @sll912.bsky.social · 07/08/2026You should, then, read Calvin’s INSTITUTES and Karl Barth’s CHURCH DOGMATICS, depending that is on how prevalent the interest really is. 100

Her older sister shielded her with her own body during a russian shelling. Twenty‑year‑old Dasha was killed instantly at the site of the strike, while little Zhenya was rushed to the hospital… but today she passed. Russia kills children. 43425179
