I consider myself eclectic in my theological (and other) interests.Eclectic Pietisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00406401732112222244noreply@blogger.comBlogger41100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1352592095802058884.post-62996830803484368522010-12-30T20:05:00.000-08:002010-12-30T20:05:59.965-08:00It's taken me a long time, but I'm now turning on comments for this blog. If anyone has any inclination to comment, that is. I am currently continuing through Torrance' "Atonement" and nearing the end. Absolutely superb and highly recommended.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1352592095802058884-6299683080348436852?l=eclectic-pietist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Eclectic Pietisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00406401732112222244noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1352592095802058884.post-62927593405694421562010-11-27T17:45:00.000-08:002010-11-27T17:52:18.389-08:00I have finished reading "Incarnation" by Thomas Torrance and am now deep into "Atonement" by T. Torrance as well. These two books are of immeasurable value. I highly recommend them. I have perhaps a thousand books on theology and related subjects. These two books would have to be on the shortest of short lists, if I had to go through and choose just a few books to take with me out of my personal library to a desert island.<br /><br />Do use a pencil to make notes in the margin. If you use a yellow highlighter, you will soon find yourself with solid yellow page after page. Absolutely incredible and of enormous value! Highly recommended!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1352592095802058884-6292759340569442156?l=eclectic-pietist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Eclectic Pietisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00406401732112222244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1352592095802058884.post-32333172339017727362008-08-19T10:16:00.000-07:002008-08-19T10:21:04.186-07:00The world does not need yet another blog. However, in order to leave comments on some blogs I am forced to have my own blog, or at least a google account. That being the case, I will use this blog in a minimal way in order to permit people to have at least some vague idea of who I am, when I post a comment.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1352592095802058884-3233317233901772736?l=eclectic-pietist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Eclectic Pietisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00406401732112222244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1352592095802058884.post-32689166097150327972007-07-10T17:13:00.000-07:002007-07-10T17:16:10.834-07:00This will serve as a convenient summary and reference point for people who want to know a bit more about me when I occasionally add comments to various blogs. I work full time and have a family and hence my time is quite limited.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1352592095802058884-3268916609715032797?l=eclectic-pietist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Eclectic Pietisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00406401732112222244noreply@blogger.com
