The Myth of Individual Christianity

I once heard a friend of mine claim that he believed in "individual Christianity." He was not talking to me, so I do not know if he offered any elaboration of what he meant. however, I suspect that his meaning was clear enough: He was a Christian, but not particularly invested in any particular

Arms High and Heart Abandoned: 72 Hours

So I wrote earlier a dispatch from the 72-hour prayer room, an initiative of several Christians on campus which resided in Winthrop I-entryway for three full days.

Israel, the Church and the Identity of God’s People (4): Galatians

For the previous post in this series, click here. *Before I move into Galatians, a quick additional point to my previous post on the Gospels that I forgot to include: many contemporary NT scholars, such as E.
