David Bentley Hart’s god is a monster (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve argued elsewhere that there is only one form of universalism worth having—one that admits our guilt before a holy God. This was the universalism of Karl Barth. Yet Barth believed that God, though he would be just in sentencing us to an eternal hell, has nevertheless elected all in Christ Jesus for salvation. Now, this view is false. But it proceeds from extolling the unlimited and free mercy of God. The same is not true, however, of David Bentley Hart’s universalism. In truth, Hart’s god is
Anglo-Catholicism as True Development (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In my dust-up with Reformed Anglicans, I’ve gotten the sense of an undue hostility towards Anglo-Catholicism. I suppose I am one (I guess? This is not a label I’ve claimed for myself….) But at any rate, I tend to think Pusey and Keble were indeed some of the greatest lights of the Anglican tradition. I don’t always agree with their conclusions. However, I do think by and large their vision is the natural extension of the principles given in the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity (we ought not forget
A Patristic Demonology - Part 1 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this post, I want to jot down some thoughts toward a response. Like I said, I intend to give a much more full response to Ethan Muse and Joe Schmid’s argument from miracles for Roman Catholicism once I feel I’ve adequately weighed everything. In this post, I want to sketch a patristic framework for analyzing the vindicatory content of miracles. This framework isn’t meant to be exhaustive, but to simply jot down principles I’m seeing as I research this. In this post, I also won’t give much com
Consciousness and the Problem of Evil (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Problem of Evil is typically thought of as tremendous evidence against theism. And I can see why; the horrors that happen in our world seem mind-bogglingly beyond the range of things an all-good God would permit.However, in this blogpost, I want to start to explore an idea I plan to develop: that the irreducibility of consciousness actually significantly blunts the problem of evil as an argument for naturalism and maybe even as an argument against theism. Anglican Aesthetics is a reader-su
Eucharistic Sacrifice - A Final Reply to Rev. Ben Crosby (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I will be concise here for the sake of focusing on the reply. First, Crosby says that Dugmore’s thesis that the criticism of sacrifice in the English Reformers centered on the notion that the Mass could be applied ex opere operato for the satisfaction of punishments for the living and the dead has been “thoroughly discredited.” He cites Dugmore’s claim that Cranmer’s Eucharistic doctrine was patristic rather than Reformed and shows the voices that refute this claim. But note that my claim thus q
