The Garden of the Heart: Tending the Garden (Part 1) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week we begin a new study on the heart and mapping out the terrain of its loves. Our tour guides include C.S. Lewis (and his excellent little book The Four Loves ), Chris Green (and his TheoCon lectures on “ The Theology of the Heart ”), St. Augustine ( Confessions ), St. Maximus the Confessor ( Four Hundred Chapters on Love ). This week we take a look at why so many Christians throughout the history of the church have found gardens to be such a fitting metaphor for the human heart, and we

Summenary Ep. 8 Robert Jenson on the church… Theological reflection about the church is in many ways a modern development. For most of history, Christian theologians simply took the church as a presupposition rather than as something specific to be talked about.

Women stayed home having babies and caring for them because they were thought to be a part of nature. Servants, too, were bound by nature insofar as they had to do whatever it was they were doing. Like women, they were thought to be bound

Summenary Ep. 5 Genesis 1:3-4 A nd God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good… The Hebrew word “ tov” is like our English word good. It suggests that if something is “good” it must be “ good for something .” There is purpose. Over and over again in Genesis 1 we read that God saw what he had made and that he saw it as good / tov . So, God finds his creatures good for his purpose with them. What is God’s purpose with creation? The old rabbis had no t
