Status Updates From Jesus, Humanity and the Tri...

goddamn if ethics was always Like That maybe I would like it more - perhaps, as is so often the case, it is men that are the problem

this is so good it almost makes me want to give up

KT has maybe my favorite take on atonement ever (besides the obvious)

shewww KT is so punk

I'm only 57 pages in but I have to read every line like 3 times to even kind of understand it so basically I've read 180 pages

This hurts my head, Matthew overestimated me with this rec I think

WOAH this book is BEAUTIFUL, so much fun to read and chew on her ideas- Kathryn tanner is a genius for real. Her citations are a 60/20/20 of patristics/scholastics/barth and I’m here for it. Very excited to see her turn towards sociopolitical applications, but maybe not just yet because this Trinity work is so doxological!

“God’s giving indeed breaks all the usual boundaries of closed communities. In creating the world, God goes outside the community of the divine Trinity to offer gifts to the stranger, to what is not divine…Jesus aligns himself with those without favor or good standing within the community of God’s people; and brings all within the very life of the triune God despite all their differences…”

“As Christians we must identify ourselves, immerse ourselves in the world of change, struggle and conflict as the Word did for us, for the sake of the world’s own betterment” (p. 63).

“Any belief in the inevitability or fixity of a certain understanding of Christianity erodes before a sense for the flexible richness of so variegated a Christianity ever dissolving and resolving itself again into new wholes” (p. xviii).

I just love this book. I'm glad I decided to take the time and re-read it.
