kiwimac Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Rabbi Heschel is indeed Jewish To your list may I add anything at all by Matthew Fox who writes on 'Creation Spirituality; and Gustavo Guttierrez who wrote about 'Liberation Theology'.

Rev. Smith Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I recently finished my seminary review of the Old Testament - http://www.stfechins.org/Theology.htm I present it not as a masterpiece of theological thought, but rather as an insight o how I moved far, far away from a sola scriptorus faith and into a progressive Christian view. Be aware, heresy abounds - I concluded that God, great and magnificent and wonderious is neither omnipotent or omniscisnt. Pleas efell free to share your thoughts.

Theo-Maniac Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Well, might not be "academic" exactly, but I would invite anyone thats interested who's in Seattle at any time to swing by the Northwest school and check out my Senior thesis on Eastern theology in the Gospels. Its based primarily on works by Yogananda and Kriyananda (as anyone who's read many of my posts on this board probably guessed) and it's bound to piss off the fundamentalist contingent to no end, but I think I bring up some interesting points in it. I might get around to posting it somewhere on the 'net in the future, and if so I'll let you all know, but don't hold your breath. Oh, and anything and everything by Marcus Borg is worth reading over and over until it falls apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theo-Maniac Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Just realised, I forgot to give the name of my thesis, "Christian Yoga: Eastern Theology in the Gospels of Matthew and Mark", by Frank Martin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacemover Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 (edited) I'm still very new to this movement, but so far I have read: The Heart of Christianity by Marcus Borg The Meaning of Jesus: Two Visions by Marcus Borg, and N.T. Wright and The Birth of Christianity by John Dominic Crossan For a socially progressive perspective from a moderate Christian evangelical, I would strongly encourage you to read: God's Politics: Why the Right gets it Wrong, and the Left Doesn't Get It by Jim Wallis, founder and executive director of Sojourners Peace on the journey, John Edited May 23, 2005 by peacemover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredP Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 The Birth of Christianity by John Dominic Crossan You've read B of C, but not The Historical Jesus? I think THJ is much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacemover Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 (edited) The Birth of Christianity by John Dominic Crossan You've read B of C, but not The Historical Jesus? I think THJ is much better. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The only major work by Crossan that they had in stock @ Barnes & Noble, when I stopped in was B of C, I have The Historical Jesus on my wish list and hope to get to it soon... I have read some excerpts from it, as well as some of Crossan's other writings on the subject in relation to his involvement with the Jesus Seminars... So I feel I have a good idea about where he is coming from in this regard... I look forward to reading it... By the way, has anyone here read Crossan's recent book about Paul? If so, what did you think? Peace on the journey, John Edited May 23, 2005 by peacemover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
