You are wondering where this blog is going. You are not alone. The thing is that I have been tinkering with all three books, with the result that none of them has moved forward very fast. The Eschatological Economy proofs arrived last weeks, with the instruction that I had to get them back within three weeks, and do the index. After a day, and thanks to the ‘Find’ function on a PDF file, the index no longer looked such an impossible task. I have quite enjoyed showing the links between chapters to emphasise the book’s unity. I have entries for ‘agency’, ‘analogy’, ‘being’, ‘becoming’, ‘blood’… The hassle is that a number of footnotes don’t work and I want to delete them, but cannot do so now without pages changing. If pages change I will have to re-do the index. I also have been trying to re-write the Introduction to the Zizioulas book, and hope that Demetrios will offer some critical comment on it when he appears tonight. Because they are fasting on Wednesdays and Fridays, these are the days I invite tall bearded Greeks round. I hope to be shot of books 1 and 2 in a month, and then can get going on the doctrine again, and try to take an interest in where we are in the church year.
