					<description><![CDATA[I recently here discussed a book by Gary Agee entitled That We May Be One: Practicing Unity in a Divided Church. I agree with Gary’s call for as much unity among Christians as possible. However, I also agree with Martin Luther who said “Peace if possible, but truth at any cost.” I will paraphrase that [&#8230;]]]></description>

By “Christian theology” here I mean the discipline that explores and explains Christian beliefs in a scholarly way—using critical thinking while acknowledging Christian sources as the material of the discipline. Those Christian sources are traditionally recognized as the Christian scriptures (Bible), Christian tradition, and contemporary culture. These traditionally [&#8230;]]]></description>

Anyway, that is the impression given by the AI-generated picture he posted on his social media account. In the picture Trump is depicted in Christ-like [&#8230;]]]></description>
