Occasional reflections on life and faith from a convert to Orthodox Christianity. Tuesday, September 20, 2016. Charles Taylor on Locating the Truth. A few months ago, I finally made it through Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor's landmark book, A Secular Age. The context of this passage is Taylor (a practicing Roman Catholic) reflecting on Vatican II and the tensions between its theology and the "established Catholic tradition", exemplified by the decrees of the Council of Trent. In other words, "wh...

Occasional reflections on life and faith from a convert to Orthodox Christianity. Thursday, August 4, 2016. A Roundup of Evangelical Responses to Wayne Grudem. Evangelical theologian Wayne Grudem raised quite a clamor this week with his inflammatorily titled article, Why Voting for Donald Trump is a Morally Good Choice. John Mark M. Reynolds.

εἰκών βασιλέως: November 2015
http://dpitch40.blogspot.com/2015_11_01_archive.html
Occasional reflections on life and faith from a convert to Orthodox Christianity. Monday, November 30, 2015. The Culture of Martyrdom. It feels like every few weeks that American Christians find something new to get angry over. Some examples from this year: the false allegations. Against Planned Parenthood that it sells aborted fetal tissue for profit, Kim Davis, the Obergefell vs. Hodges. Why is this Christian outrage so common? And co-author of the influential article The Coddling of the American Mind.

εἰκών βασιλέως: To Know and Taste the Truth
http://dpitch40.blogspot.com/2016/04/to-know-and-taste-truth.html
Occasional reflections on life and faith from a convert to Orthodox Christianity. Thursday, April 14, 2016. To Know and Taste the Truth. Someone who has actually tasted truth is not contentious for truth. Someone who is considered by people to be zealous for truth has not yet learnt what truth is really like; once he has truly learnt it, he will cease from zealousness on its behalf. (Kephalaia IV.77; The Wisdom of Saint Isaac the Syrian. Translated by Sebastian Brock). That is, by way of the person.
