Ben Myer's on Theology for Beginners


Over at Faith and Theology my favourite Evangelische Barthian friend has started a series of posts on Theology for Beginners.

Perhaps we have history in front of us as Ben Myers lays out the blue print for some kind of future magnum opus on Church Dogmatics.

Well, maybe an opus minimus....

Tim,
1. Well, I'm not Catholic, so I don't know. Best bet would be to ask Michael Barber of the blog "Singing in the Reign". Or ask Ben himself.
2. Evangelische is German for Lutheran or Protestant.

Hi Tim. Well, as a Protestant I'm of course doing theology from a Protestant perspective. But I'm not trying to offer a "Protestant theology" -- instead, I'm trying to think about my own faith in a way that does justice to the faith of the whole church.

Anyway, in the "further reading" suggestions at the end of each post, I'll generally include one or two texts by Catholic authors -- so you could always look up some of these texts if you wanted to.
