Franciscus Junius, Old Princeton, and the Question of Natural Theology | Clearly ReformedNatural theology is true, but it's incomplete. It knows God only as a causal first principle of the world. It knows that he ought to be worshiped and that he ought to be thanked for all things. It doesn't know how to be reconciled to him given our alienation from him on account of sin.

Or to put it even more bluntly: “Since true theology is determined by redemptive relation, natural theology, lacking this redemptive relation is not true theology, not in fact theology at all.

New Book: AI is Good for You | Eric JangThe people closest to a commit point will be the last to feel it. The people who fed them work will be the first. And the people who would have fed those people, ten years from now, may not be hired at all.
When AI Becomes Labor - by Gianfranco Filice - GianfrancoFar from a suspicious doctrine, the beatific vision is natural to the task of theology, pastoral care in the Christian life, and the telos of church’s happiness in the eschaton.
