My friend the almost-Reverend David Cooke has posted this on his blog: when theology becomes biology. It's all about making sure that academic thinking about God does not replace experiencing him for yourself. Good stuff.
My favourite line:
A lecture this week told us about the animal husbandry of camels in the ancient near east and the importance of the distinction between a one humped and two humped camels. Apparently this fascinating information has some bearing on the dating of Genesis. Hasn't this slightly missed the point? This may well be true, but for me it is a long way from knowing the love, power and grace of God who has risen from the dead to redeem all mankind.
