After three weeks out of the country, I'm happily hitting the books again, and developing a theological statement that will describe my interactions, including endorsements and disagreements, with the writings of Barth, Hegel, Herrmann, Schleiermacher, et. al., as well as a diverse array of traditions and thought systems ranging all the way from Eastern Orthodox theology to the postmodern shift away from...HEY! WAS THAT A YAWN? Come on, this is IMPORTANT!!
Next week it's off to Mepkin Abbey for some quiet work alone, and then the following week I will conclude sabbatical and re-enter church life. But in the meantime, to read about all those old German theologians properly, I took a couple of books with me to the German Cafe in Wilmington today. Schnitzel may or may not be a theological issue, but the Napoleon for dessert was definitely a revelatory experience.
