The opening pages of the Bible show us God’s good plan to rule with humanity as his image in heaven and on earth. Later characters in the story experience apocalyptic moments where they glimpse this ideal world and gain perspective to bring comfort and challenge to the world.

The Covid-19 pandemic has revealed just how fragile human life is, but it’s also shown that humans are capable of radical acts of innovation, creativity, compassion, and love. Humans are a walking paradox, simple mortal beings who also reflect the very image of God.

Rev Dr @bradjersak explores Christian knowing through Plato, Plantinga, and Paul. He offers us a much wider paradigm that does not toss out the Bible but recaptures the rich orthodoxy of the early church. He concludes with a wonderful poem by @BrianZahnd youtu.be/9RxQb7VW_yc

We get into the guts of what Jews and Christians believe is the basis of human worth: it’s not beauty, brains, or abilities, but the way God bestows all people with his image, and guarantees their dignity and value
When Christians and Jews say people are made in the image of #God, does that mean we physically resemble the divine? Not so fast: ab.co/2ujMKPY #RNGodForbid @mpjensen @JustineToh

Marilynne Robinson on understanding that we are all broken and fallible. Evil isn't simply "out there".
In this new clip from #ForTheLoveOfGod: The Interviews, Pulitzer Prize winning author Marilynne Robinson cautions us against passing judgment on past generations: "It's very important to deal with the fact that we are all flawed." See the full collection: cpx.video/interviews

Dr @bradjersak: 'Christian Ways of Knowing'—next Friday at The Ethics Centre. Incredibly important topic for those who feel caught between conservativism & liberalism. Brad offers a much wider paradigm of knowing & revelation that doesnt toss out the Bible

Throughout the Bible, Jewish festivals, sacred spaces, and important moments revolve around patterns of seven that end with God’s people finding rest in his presence and abundance.

2020: @bradjersak, Esther Meek, Rikk Watts, Tony Golsby-Smith, Ron Winestock, & others will help us explore "Knowing and Mystery". Is Design the new theology? What's the Gospel's offer of hope? Women in ministry? Will AI save humanity or make us obsolete?

Hopkins' theory of inscape underpinned lots of his poetic philosophy & inspired such greats as Tolkien. This intense & brilliant Jesuit revolutionised forever how poetry was written & laid the foundations for twentieth-century poetry.

How does universal salvation influence my life and service in the world—including evangelism, counselling, and taking funerals?
@RobinParry—a pastor and theologian—brings a wealth of practical experience to this huge question.

What end is creation made for? @RobinParry paints a sweeping picture of the story of salvation beginning with creation & ending with the eschaton. He then poses the significant question—which fits best into this picture—hell or universal salvation?

How we read the Bible? @RobinParry encourages humility as we all approach the difficult task of considering texts in light of the entire Bible, authors intent, rhetoric, biblical themes (eg Judgment) & trajectories (eg Trinity) gospelconversationsaustralia… #Hell #ChristianUniversalism

Parry gives us a birds-eye view of the long debate over universalism. gospelconversationsaustralia… He defines what universalism is and is not, & explains the different pathways that have led many orthodox Christians to consider it seriously—Bible, experience, and ‘gospel logic’. #Hell

Universalism through Christ—a hopeful future starting now ethos.org.au/online-resource… How we see the future influences how we see & act in the present. Christian Universalism should shine a sense of wonder & hope over the world around us & radically change the way we live #Hope #Hell

What do we mean by Hell? What is its purpose? Who do will go there? What are the implications? Is there any hope beyond Hell? @RobinParry will engage with these difficult questions—looking to Jesus, biblical authors, & believers throughout the centuries. facebook.com/events/22951656…

I think I've come to an epiphany, and I couldn't let the picture leave my mind until I tried to capture it (welcome to my inner world after midnight!) . Here it is:
