Books, part 2
I started reading Let's Start with Jesus by Dennis Kinlaw. He was one of my theology professors at Asbury Seminary. I caught him immediately after his first tenure as president of Asbury College. He taught 2 semesters before starting the Francis Asbury Society. Marvelous teacher, very nice person. Anyway, he says we should start our theology not with the attributes of God, but where the New Testament does, with Jesus. I have only read the first 25 or so pages, but it makes sense. We'll see how he develops it.
