Julie Clawson: Missions vs. Missional Andrew Jones: Is Mission the Mother of Theology? Anthony Smith has an article coming out [...]

I’ve been listening to (and really enjoying) N.T. Wright’s 2004 lectures on “The Future of the People of God.” All of the audio of those talks is available as free downloads from Andrew Perriman’s Open Source Theology site. I’ve listened to this particular section of Wright discussing the Cross, the Resurrection, and Easter several times, [...]
