While you’re waiting for the book to arrive :-) , check out Martin Davis’ posts. This is the first. Work your way forward. I suspect you will be thrilled with this. Good old fashioned (really really old fashioned) consideration of the true cente...

Check out Thomas Torrance's Incarnation, Dave.

Try "On the Incarnation" by Athanasius. A little later in time (or more recent). It's what clinched it for me ;-)

Ratatösk commented on Dave's blog post 'Anglo-Catholicism?'

I’m happy for you, Dave. I think the ACNA will be fine. The creedal nature of Anglicanism is one of its greatest strengths. I appreciate the enthusiasm that some advocates of this or that denomination exhibit, but when the wonder and mystery of ...

Harry commented on Dave's blog post 'Anglo-Catholicism?'

If you can find a confessional Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod church in your area, you ought to check out that church before you leap. The problem with the Anglicans is that their theology is a mile wide and and inch deep as you noted that it incl...

I typically don't touch this topic with a ten foot stick, but I must say that Atonement is one of the biggest issues drawing me East.

Profile Information

Tell us about yourself

Grew in a small Midwestern Quaker church that was basically Wesleyan without sacraments. Drifted in college. Came back to Christ (hopefully) through non-denom Evangelical campus ministry. Now losing confidence in much of Evangelicalism, but hopefully not Christ. Getting into N.T. Wright, admiring high church traditions from a cowardly safe distance, listening to Ancient Faith Radio podcasts, trying to learn about the early church, trying not have a nervous breakdown or fall into another depression, laying awake wondering what it's all about, fearing death, all that fun stuff.

How would you describe yourself theologically?

Confused but hopeful in my good moments. Trying hard not to be jaded. Probably transitioning from non-denom Evangelical church to AMIA (Anglican) church. I love liturgy. I am definitely a work in progress. Let's just hope I'm progressing in the right direction. I still admire aspects of Quakerism, but feel that the lack of organizational structure has led to drifts into about every imaginable mistake and heresy. I guess I don't really know where I fit in right now. I'm know it's not about my personal choice, though. Something out there has to be right. I'm desperately trying to hold on to the notion that God is love like a life raft.

Who is the greatest theologian in the last 2000 years? (Besides Biblical People!)

I need to read the primary sources, but right now I'm digging what I've read of Irenaeus's theology. Maybe he wasn't the greatest, but I think George Fox also breathed something needed into Christendom.

The missing Incarnation...

I have to say that, until I started studying Anglicanism, Orthodoxy, Roman Catholicism, and reading about such ECFs as Irenaeus, I had never really heard much about the Incarnation. Yeah, it was there because I believed Jesus was God. However, as an Evangelical, it seemed no one really discussed the ramifications of the Incarnation. It was like Jesus was incarnated purely so he could serve as our penal substitute.

In the Incarnation, God and man were united-- and they still are. Jesus is still… Continue

Anglo-Catholicism?

After much wandering without a church home, it looks like I may be settling into an Anglo-Catholic parish. I cannot decide if this is where I truly belong or if I am "settling" or "compromising" because I'm afraid to full-on take the plunge and swim the Tiber or Bosphorous. However, between such divines as Lancelot Andrewes and many of the theologians of the Oxford Movement, Anglicanism does seem to have it's own solid theological tradition. Of course, this is a communion and/or tradition so bro… Continue
