Last year I was at a meeting in Geneva and I got to meet Pete Rollins. (here's a short bio and photo I found on the Greenbelt site)
Last night and this morning I was reading through his blog. What I really enjoy is seeing how he's taking the philosophical discipline of phenomenology and applying it to theology. The post is here and this is how it ends...
Thus phenomenological theology does not sit around and ask ‘what is God (as object) like’, but rather is interested in how our relationship with God transforms us into more loving and Christ-like individuals. Far from being really dodgy, these insights can be described as broadly Lutheran, with a twist of the mystics thrown in (I have always found Luther on the rocks a little too much).
One of the other things I like about Pete is that when he steps on your toes he does it in a nice way. You have been warned...
