Discuss Theology

I was with Dr. Christy Wilson only 6 weeks before his death. We ate Korean food together in Colorado. He reminisced about my student days at Gordon-Conwell under his tutelage. What a legend and what a heritage he has left behind. I wonder how much of the history of Afghanistan is directly linked to his shaking the dust off of his feet as he stepped onto an airplane, leaving there [permanently] in the early 1970’s–shaking the dust off of his feet as a testimony against them. As well, I was in attendance with Dr. Ralph Winter at a conference in Wheaton, not long before his death, seated next to him listening to Steve Saint. Saint called for commitment all the way to death at the end of his brief discussion. Of course, Winter stood up. All heaven rejoices because both Winter and Wilson are with them up there right now among all of the other good and faithful servants who have gone before them. I am not sure we really understand who we lost when we lost those two.

That is how the ad in Christianity Today reads. I wonder how NT Wright would answer Martin Luther?

There will be more competition for American universities [coming from Asian schools]. Europe, I think, has fallen by the wayside.

Philip Jenkins at Penn State would certainly agree with that assessment, at least in theological education.

Music is a part of the kingdom of God. It makes sense that a young worship leader from Conway, Arkansas would win. Congratulations brother.
