10 Propositions on Violence In the Old Testament

October 29, 2013 by AricClark 10 Comments

This is a piece I wrote years ago that I was eager to revisit and update. There is a lot of violence in the Old Testament (hereafter OT), which provokes a host of unhelpful reactions from my perspective. Some want to chuck the whole OT in the bin like Marcion or treat the God revealed […]

Kingdom vs. Government

September 5, 2013 by AricClark 2 Comments

Greg Boyd over at ReKnew wrote a post describing what he would say to President Obama if he were asked to advise about the situation in Syria. His post is appropriately humble. He knows it is a hypothetical exercise. He doesn’t weigh his own opinion heavier than it deserves. He acknowledges valid differences of opinion […]

When Will This Movement End?

October 18, 2011 by TwoFriars 3 Comments

Christianity was forged as a movement in opposition to a hegemonic and oppressive Roman empire. Today, in that same spirit, battling against the oppressive weight of corporate greed and a government characterized by lust for militarization, violence and a repeated disregard for the poor, people are descending on Wall Street in anger and protest.

Not in My Name

September 30, 2011 by TwoFriars 5 Comments

I’ve really appreciated MaryAnn’s reflections, and the Friars/Fool thoughts, and the others who have chimed in as well. Though I may quibble with a few of the individual ideas presented, mostly I resonate with the questions that folks have raised, and with the doubts about the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of civil disobedience in its typical […]

Not Violent Enough

September 27, 2011 by TwoFriars 16 Comments

It is an honor to be in dialogue with Rick Ufford-Chase, who unflinchingly walks the talk of radical Christian faith and practice. As I read his reflection I was reminded of a blog post by Pete Rollins, of whom I am an unabashed fan. Rollins wrote some time ago about religious extremism, and argued that […]

Who are you fools?

You know that feeling you get when you’re surrounded by good friends who share your passions out for a few drinks at the local and after a couple of pints you get into an argument about metaphysics that lasts till 2 in the morning? That is the feeling we are trying to distill and bottle at Two Friars and a Fool. We want to deliberately establish an environment of congenial, impassioned debate about all matters theological, or tangentially theological, or even adjacent to theology when viewed … [Read More...]
