Chrisendom reopens for business

Yes, you read right. Your favourite blog is about to reopen* – back to correct the torrent of lunatic slop that smears your computer screens like the remnants of an old sneeze, back, bringing forth holy stuff and theological precision, speaking the truth in ... ways the make me look cleverer than others.

First off ...

*Drum roll*

I will begin my summary review of Douglas Campbell's magisterial volume The Deliverance of God.

'What, another review of that flippin book?'

Yes. The best yet. And I'll use longer words than others.

Second off

*drum roll*

per usual, and fairly constantly, any other nefarious bilge I can think of, you know, the expected dysenterous gushings of a trivial mind, frothing up wad loads of crossing-the-line bull.

* This is all proclaimed with the small disclaimer that my reopening is conditional upon me not getting bored with the whole shebang again.

    Yea, I promoted into a Queen, but then realised that it wasn't a legal move in the Anglican Communion.

  11. Michael: Chris' dissertation is paradigm shifting! Great stuff to say the least! But another question is, how do we get our hands on your dissertation?

  12. Thanks Nick, I must look into that!! And thanks for the kind comment on my thesis!

    Michael, great to hear from you - and I pose Nick's question, too!

    Dan, you Thomas you. It must be all that continental philosophy numbing your faith.
