I have read enough ... a meme from Sean

An interesting meme from Sean, who has start blogging again after 4 week break.

I have read enough Stanley Hauerwas to know that you can't talk about doctrine without at the same time doing ethics; and equally you can't talk about ethics, without at the same time doing doctrine

I have read enough Douglas Campbell to know that Paul's theology is found more in the Romans 5-8, than 1-4 or 9-11

I have read enough Colin Gunton to know that the language of 'persons' should be used over against 'individuals' to describe both the divine and human

I have read enough John Colwell to know that the traditional sacraments should not be dismissed, but understood as events where God promises to be present

I have read enough Nicholas Healy to know that ecclesiology cannot be reduced to a blueprint, but must pay attention to the concrete, the ordinary and lived experience of church communities

I have read enough recent NT scholarship to recognise that the New Testament gospels and letters are deeply political and challenging empire

I have read enough Francis Watson and Richard Hays to know that you can't read the letters of Paul without a knowledge of the Old Testament

I have read enough Karl Barth, Robert Jenson and Jurgen Moltmann to know that I should read more.
