First the DK blog slowed to a crawl. Then it disappeared entirely.
The beginning of term always means a pile of work. I am teaching a couple of courses on Scripture, which means becoming rapidly re-acquainted with the bible. At the same time various friends arrived with dissertations. It is a joy to read a good piece of systematic theology, and in recent months I have read parts and wholes of some cracking PhD theses on Pannenberg, Barth, Jüngel, Gunton and Jenson, and on the doctrines of creation and mediation. All vital for my education, but I have fallen behind, particularly with correspondence. But:
Congratulations Dr Marion Gray – ‘Time and Eternity in the Theology of Robert Jenson and Wolfhart Pannenberg’
London PhD 2006
Then the DK blog disappeared entirely for some days. I admit I felt as much relief as grief. But after a night-long struggle it was restored by valiant webmaster James Knight. JK is the real power behind this blog and I am always very grateful to him.
All this means that I am behind on the series I promised you. So coming up on the DK blog:
‘Catholicity’ (four posts still to come)
‘Our Giant – Oliver O’Donovan’
‘Theology in London’
‘Evangelical’
and something on atonement and penal substitution.
