Winter/Spring 2015 issue of Fides et Historia

Updating My Contribution to the New Issue of Fides et Historia

April 13, 2015

Any new issue of Fides et Historia is a cause for celebration, but the Winter/Spring 2015 iteration of the journal of the Conference on Faith and History (CFH) is truly an embarrassment of riches. Reflections on the Incarnation and on mystery, a special review of my former Bethel colleague Steve Keillor’s approach to providential history, anniversary responses … More Updating My Contribution to the New Issue of Fides et Historia

Recent Conversations on Evangelicalism and Pietist-Anabaptist Identity

March 30, 2015

Recently, I had the opportunity to travel to Bridgewater College, which is located in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley, just outside Harrisonburg, Virginia. The occasion, spearheaded by Steve Longenecker, was a symposium on the history of the (Schwarzenau) Brethren tradition’s relationship with evangelicalism. The intersection of evangelicalism with Pietist and Anabaptist groups is a topic that has … More Recent Conversations on Evangelicalism and Pietist-Anabaptist Identity

March 16, 2015

We’ll have some new guest posts at the end of the week, but little from me while I spend Bethel’s spring break in Virginia with my parents.

Thanks for holding my place, Chris!

February 27, 2015

This past fall I stepped away from The Pietist Schoolman as part of an effort to focus on research and writing that also took me on a sabbatical from Grace College to the Young Center for Pietist and Anabaptist Studies at Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania. (Here’s our interview with Jared about that sabbatical.) I took my … More Thanks for holding my place, Chris!

That Was The Month That Was: Christianity

January 31, 2015

One last month-long set of links covers posts and articles on Christianity. That Was The Week That Was will return next Saturday. • Why kick off a list of links on Christianity with Miles Mullin’s Anxious Bench post on American Sniper? Because Clint Eastwood’s Iraq War film “raises questions about the thinness of American Civil religion, a religion in which the … More That Was The Month That Was: Christianity

That Was The Month That Was: History

January 30, 2015

Just a few of the more interesting history-related posts and articles that appeared during my month off from blogging: • Christopher Columbus, Captain Cook, and nine other explorers to know. • The Charlie Hebdo shootings have rocketed Voltaire’s Treatise on Tolerance — published in 1763 — to the top of French bestseller lists. (Lots of important … More That Was The Month That Was: History

As excited as I’ve been to share our book on Pietism and Christian higher education, I’m at least as thrilled by the near-simultaneous publication of a broader study of Pietism. And as it happens, Reclaiming Pietism: Retrieving an Evangelical Tradition (Eerdmans) is written by two of the contributors to our book: Roger Olson and Christian Collins … More Announcements: Reclaiming Pietism
