Read the Church Fathers

This has been a fun journey the last few years of reading the Church Fathers. Until recently though, I've

been reading what I wanted to read and wasn't on a plan, but now I am since finding this website.

So why should you read the works of the Church Fathers? Well, for one, communion with the saints happens and secondly it gives insight into the Early Church and for me that's been invaluable.

Lost on the web

I thought that I lost this blogger page for a few years, but I'm glad to finally have it back.

So what has the Theology Geek been doing for the last three years? Well, traveling Asia and studying Trinitarian theology and some acting in South East Asia.

More to come soon..

More theology soon

I will post some more theology soon. I've been traveling and haven't had much time to write on this blog though I have been writing for another theological blog and will get back soon to the theology geek.

Luther's theology of the cross

Carl Trueman has an exellent article on it here. 

Against Calvinism

I'm reading through a few new books, but the one that I will talk about here is Against Calvinism by Roger Olson. 

I'm only half way through the book and I must say like all the other books by Olson it is well written and thought through. Am I convinced of Arminianism? No. I'm not even sure if he is truly a classical Arminian him self. Because in his other writings I see influences of Moltmann concerning the sovereignty of God. But then like most Calvinist, I think most Arminians differ on things too. 

Most forms of Calvinism Olsen is against. So if you were thinking that he is warm to any of it he isn't. He only likes revisionist Calvinism stripped of Reformed theology containing no TULIP, John Piper and no Sproul.

Is it a good read? It's ok. Like his other books I read them as fast as I can and then get out of Dodge!

Sitting along the South China Sea

Yesterday, I was sitting along the South China Sea and thinking about a book that I read earlier this year called The Promise of Trinitarian Theology and one of the passages was about the richness of God's being and how everything in turn because God is Trinity is different in life. We no longer can look at things the same.......

Thoughts on Summa Theologica by Thomas Aquinas

My thoughts? I think that he is brilliant! I've made myself read through Plato and other philosophers and it's downright fascinating how Thomas can quote from them and then in turn relate it to Christian theology and doctrine without blinking an eye. Aquinas is fascinating in many respects both as a philosopher himself and a theologian and it's hard to distinguish the two. So, should you read Thomas Aquinas?? The answer is yes!
