Everyday Theology by Patrick Oden. Sorrow of God →. Stepped off the boat. I was lost. I had no words of hope of my own. I did not know where to turn or who to turn to. But I still tried to pray, to hear from God what I was supposed to do. On January 15, 2003 I was sitting on the small back porch of this apartment, and I wrote the following in my journal. It came to mind again today, so I’m posting it here:. I am Peter stepped out of the boat, “Lord, Save me! Time is swallowing me! 8220;Time flows, but I ...

Everyday Theology by Patrick Oden. The Transformative Church Interview. Holiness and the Holy Spirit →. I was on a bit of a roll there for a bit, posting more frequently than I had for a while. Then it happened: life. I’m a contemplative, highly introverted and so socially sensitive. That makes being a teacher a rewarding, yet draining, experience. My batteries get low, and then at the end of a long and very busy season I barely have time to recharge just a bit before jumping into the next thing. I'm Pat...

Everyday Theology by Patrick Oden. In storms and squalls we need a pilot, and in this present life we need prayer; for we are susceptible to the provocations of our thoughts, both good and bad. If our thought is full of devotion and love of God, it rules over the passions.”. 8220;Bad citation formatting is a bit like going to a business meeting wearing a shirt with a big ketchup stain on it. It’s not essential for the content of the meeting, but it always help to look as neat as possible.”. Suppose Homer...

Everyday Theology by Patrick Oden. Being Freed to Liberate Others. Considering liberation of the oppressor →. This is something I wrote in 2003, reposted at a high moment in 2011. And as I came across it again this evening, it asked to be reposted, this a time where life once more seems fairly hazy. Promise-Faith-Fulfillment, and parts between. I am Peter stepped out of the boat, Lord, Save me! Time is swallowing me! Time flows, but I am the one both in and out of time. Do not look to those trapped f...

Everyday Theology by Patrick Oden. Newer posts →. Ever since Fuller announced they are closing their Sacramento campus, I’ve been thinking a lot about the future of seminary education. Online is the growth area in higher education. Regional campuses are not seen the same way. I taught both online and at Sacramento this past year. My online courses would fill up and have waiting lists within a few days of open registration. This is not uncommon. My Sac classes would never fill and would take a...Students ...

Everyday Theology by Patrick Oden. Liberation for all →. Considering liberation of the oppressor. To be liberated, the oppressors need to be themselves understood in their oppressing, and to prevent oppression from returning in another guise, a more holistic construction of human reality should be utilized, lest the formerly oppressed institute new patterns of oppressing once or where they may find advantage. The mass exodus from Ireland to the United States offered new possibilities, among them a dream ...

Everyday Theology by Patrick Oden. The Transformative Church Interview. A few weeks ago, I did an interview with Cory Piña for the Fuller Seminary website. That’s only accessible to students, staff, faculty, and alumni, so I asked if I could repost it here. Cory graciously said yes (well, he actually said, “You are absolutely welcome to! 8221;). So here it is. Enjoy! Patrick recently had a book published, representing the work of his PhD thesis. It’s called. CORY: Am I right that. Yep There were some sec...

Everyday Theology by Patrick Oden. 8220;Confession is not about receiving a lesser sentence in some kind of cosmic documentation of rights and wrongs but is rather about becoming healthy. Confession is about acknowledging sin to work toward healing it.” A student in my summer class nicely sums up one of the core practices of worship we discussed. These aren’t the only cities in a theology of theological education. Scholars have added a few more stops on this journey. About the tradition and. In that stor...

Everyday Theology by Patrick Oden. I don’t believe in men in ministry. There’s a curious little story in the book of Acts about a man who wanted to purchase the power of the Holy Spirit. Simon was his name. Later, he was given the title of Simon the magician: Simon Magus. A lot of stories and traditions have built up around him, with the early church seeing him as the earliest, and greatest of heretics, distorting the Apostolic faith and presenting a Gospel that was not of Jesus. Of such limitations is n...
