I will begin to take this blog in a new direction. I hope to open a few close minded Christians to new ideas or at the very least introduce some scholarly and historical views to the Christian community. I hope to “remove the wool,” that covers so many of my fellow Christians eyes. I feel I have been sheltered from the objective study of Christianity and its texts for far too long and I hope to remove bits and pieces of ignorance that may come from a solely subjective study (which I believe for many Christians is the only way they have studied the Bible).
I do want to make it clear that I do believe there is a place for a subjective study of the Christian texts but I believe that alone is not enough. Christians must be educated about the history and beginnings of Christianity and its texts. I hope to unravel a few of the ideas contemporary scholars hold. Stay tuned as I will soon begin reconstruction of this blog.
Glad to know you are keeping this blog and more importantly to let you know how proud I am of you. You are an excellent son and maturing young man. thanks.
