Revised Review of Peter Horrobin's Healing Through Deliverance now online

It has been ten years since I published on-line my review of Peter Horribin's book Healing Through Deliverance. 1: The Biblical Basis. Over the years I have had a good deal of positive feedback regarding it from around the globe, so I thought it was about time that I updated the page numbers to match those of the second edition:

Healing Through Deliverance: A Biblical Check-up

H.D. McDonald on The Symbolic Christology of Paul Tillich

The following article is now available in PDF:

H.D. McDonald, "The Symbolic Christology of Paul Tillich," Vox Evangelica 18 (1988): 75-88.

I have to admit that reading Tillich reminded me of the old adage:

Jesus said unto the theologians,

"Who do you sayeth I am?"

And the theologians replied to him saying,

"You are the Kerygma, the eschatological manifestation of the Ground of all Being in whom we find fulfillment in our interpersonal relationships."

Jesus said unto the Theologians, "What?!"

McDonald concludes in part:

Tillich’s Christology is indeed an extraordinary blend of all the heresies repudiated by the great councils. He can be classed as an Adoptionist, a Sabellian, an Eutychian, a Docetic, a Gnostic, a Monophysite, and even, according to Gustav Weigel, a Nestorian. He can in truth be described as anything except an exponent of the historical and biblical doctrine of the person of Christ. He is, of course, altogether right in insisting that reason is impotent in probing the mystery of the Ultimate; and that there must ever remain an element of the incomprehensible in the ontologically real. Because this is so, symbol will ever have a relevant place in a true biblical theology. The phrase ‘a true biblical theology’ is, however, an important one. For in this regard it is to be observed that Tillich constructs his Christology with the meagrest reference to the New Testament. It is thus rightly said that while his system is ‘long on metaphysical exactness and existential relatedness’ it is ‘short on biblical concreteness and theological precision’. It is not, that is to say, a true biblical theology.

Readers should beware of the final footnote reference in this article, which appears to be wrong.

The following article is now online in PDF:

Many articles read too much into Paul's use of anthropological terms, so it's a pleasure to find one that provides a balanced view.

Theology on the Web Hub launched

I have today launched a "hub site" called "Theology on the Web" which contains some of the material that has previously been duplicated on several sites. Having a central hub will help me to be able to keep the shared material updated and help visitors to understand better the vision that underlies the development of the other four - soon to be five - sites.
