As an OT research student I'm listening in as something of an outsider, and I know I'm missing out a number of technicalities (even my theology peers have been puzzling over certain aspects). But McCormack presents a clear and followable thesis.<BR/><BR/>It's been worth watching our faculty engage with him. I also note that John Webster has made the trip down from Aberdeen each evening, though he has yet to raise a question. I do anticipate some fireworks when McCormack gets to the core of his proposal, tonight and tomorrow.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05605962392637224875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14261952.post-3791838453359617262007-11-29T18:10:00.000-05:002007-11-29T18:10:00.000-05:00I know your not particularly enthusiastic about Gu...I know your not particularly enthusiastic about Gunton's theology but I wonder whether there may be some overlap between McCormack's approach and the Christology that Gunton developed in conversation with Irving and Owen?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14261952.post-42994265292746571742007-11-29T11:35:00.000-05:002007-11-29T11:35:00.000-05:00Why, if McCormack had presented these lectures som...Why, if McCormack had presented these lectures some 7 years ago, perhaps I should have been able to remain in the <I>ministerium</I> of the Dutch Reformed church, and not have to convert to Eastern Orthodoxy! ;-) These look quite exciting; I'm already looking forward to their publication.<BR/><BR/>(How interesting, incidentally, that McCormack attended Nazarene institutions; goes to show that those of us who have such educations can eventually amount to something!)Esteban Vázquezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09738869673774603152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14261952.post-75524107743100251592007-11-29T05:58:00.000-05:002007-11-29T05:58:00.000-05:00If anyone wants to travel up then please get in co...If anyone wants to travel up then please get in contact with me and you can stay in my flat for free (as long as you don't mind roughing it on the floor!

Ever since the sensational <I>Karl Barth's Critically Realistic Dialectical Theology</I> (don't you just love the catchy title!) I've been waiting for more exquisite beef from (dare I call him) the Big Mac. And, yes, McCormack points the way forward in Barth studies - with George Hunsinger in tandem, of course!<BR/><BR/>So thanks for the heads-up, Ben.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
