(De)(Re)Constructing the Blog

You may have noticed, dear reader, that I haven’t posted in a month.  It’s been a busy month, mostly filled with good activities.  I’ve also been pondering this blog — what it has been in the six or seven years I’ve been writing it, and what it should, if anything, be.  For better or worse, I’m an inveterate scribbler, and I want to keep this outlet open.  I hope that, at its best, it isn’t a space for foolish arguments, but rather is in some way helpful and edifying to some people.  It is, of course, just a blog, and should be read in that light:  not as anything final or authoritative, but merely the often disjointed and ill-formed thoughts of one person seeking to participate in the life of Christ in the world.

In that spirit, I’m making an effort to change up the blog a bit and to try something a bit more constructive and structured.  I’ve added five new categories, which correspond to the new Pages above.  My goal is to offer one post each week month in each of these categories:

βιβλία — reflections on the texts of the Hebrew and Christian scriptures.

φιλοσοφία – reflections on philosophy, particularly the Christian philosophical tradition of faith seeking understanding.

πνεύμα — reflections on spiritual life.

πόλις — reflections on political theology, law and culture.

φύσις — science and nature.

I hope some people will continue to read and enjoy; and I hope in some way there will be hints and echoes here and there of the presence of the Author of Life.
