On the Recent Storm of Controversy over Voting.

By mitchell b powell | Published: 1720, 10th October, 2011
In light of Rod’s most recent comment, I’m done having this conversation with him. (This does not, by the way, mean that I’m no longer willing to talk about the subjects that have been brought up with others, especially Joel Watts and Christian of Homebrewed Theology, both of whom I intend to respond to shortly.)

On the relationship of theology and immorality in the doctrines and lives of Karl Barth and John Howard Yoder

By mitchell b powell | Published: 0208, 25th July, 2011

By mitchell b powell | Published: 2256, 6th December, 2009
In the last post, I stated how Jesus Christ’s actual death and resurrection are the basic assumption that I will hold to throughout my writing.  Hand in hand with the truth of the story of Jesus, I believe in the inspiration of the Bible.  That is, I believe that, somehow, the words written in the [...]
