A Better Place For the Intelect

Real theology should not happen apart from loving real live people. The answers that satisfy us in the classroom when surrounded by people who all agree need to be tested and revised when brought into contact with life. We need those who don’t share our preconceptions at least as much as we need those who do.

More of what I've learned from hanging out with Muslims.

Come Let Us Worship and Bow Down

 I have discovered that I have a lot to learn about worship, and about prayer. And hanging out with Muslims has helped me learn more about what Christian prayer really is. Here is an article that I wrote for Evangelicals for Social Action.

Reading the Quran With Muslims and Christians

 I published an expanded and improved version of the last article.

 It is now on the webpage for Evangelicals for Social Action (ESA).

I would love to hear any thoughts, especially about similar experiments in friendship you might have made.
