More Thoughts on Regret
About two months ago I wrote a blog post on the subject of regret, in which I raised some questions about whether regret will be a part of the experience of the glorified in the new creation. I suggested with some uncertainty that I’m inclined to think that it will not be. My thoughts were […]
Gunton on Taxis in the Trinity
I know I’ve been doing a lot of quoting recently, but my blogging time is limited and quoting is easier than writing—not to mention that you’d probably rather read Gunton’s perspective on the Trinity than mine anyway. I stumbled across this relevant bit from Colin Gunton in his The Promise of Trinitarian Theology, which I […]
Barth on the Son’s Subordination to the Father
In Barth’s section on “God the Father” in volume one of his Church Dogmatics, he makes some interesting statements about the relationship between the Father and the Son.

Is There Regret in Heaven?
John Piper is one of my favorite living theologians. His writings and preaching have had a profound impact on my thinking, and he is regularly a means of great encouragement and motivation. I rarely find myself disagreeing with him. I recently picked up the 24-volume John Piper Collection from Logos and have been enjoying working […]
