A Review of 2020
This article was inspired by Joseph Gnehm’s piece on Romans. These past few months I have found myself both thinking and writing on the intellectual side of theology.

I know this is not the apt thing to say for many people. In many ways 2020 has been an extremely difficult, challenging, and unforeseen year.

(Nicene Creed) A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. (Revelation 12:1) Are you seeking a Son without a Father? Give me a light without brightness. (Augustine) Light. We define it as a transverse electromagnetic wave, a photon, pure energy having no … Continue reading “The Crescent Moon and the Church of the Nones” →
