Fallen Into Knowledge

From here and here:

I confess: that while I think that theology should attend to its own concerns, I often use the language of critical theory in theological discussions

I confess: that even though I know I should be conversant in the concerns of my reformed tradition, whenever the words Calvin, Justification, Election, etc.., are used my mind hazes over.

I confess: whenever I am in school for theology, I wish I were studying philosophy, and whenever I am studying philosophy, I wish I were in a theology class.

I confess: I periodically consider giving it all up and joining a monastery

More additions, as they come to me…

I confess: That while I don’t doubt the existence of God, I doubt His goodness more often than I care to admit

I confess: I often worry that technology use (like this blog) has been detrimental to my being a theologian. But I haven’t done anything about it.

I confess: That while I got my Heidegger, Kant, Neitzsche, Shopenhauer, and Hegel first hand I understood only a small fraction of it.

I confess: I enjoy reading Marx more than I enjoy reading most theologians.
