Two Pics
Tonight was unbelievable. While on our trip through Boston, we were caught unawares with our friend Russ Schlect, who has started at church at Harvard, in a conversation on the fact that N.T. Wright would be speaking at Harvard this very eve. Quinn and I shored up our plans and went.
Overall, it was absolutely unbelievable! In classic Wrightian…he turned ‘end times’ theology on its head with his Kingdom theology for the here/now as a central point for hope-centered social action. Other than being inspiring, it was deep and thoughtful for those in the room who weren’t ‘Christians’.
Putting my pride behind, I had Quinn take a picture of the two of us.
You may not be able to tell, but I am blushing.
I thought I would add another picture I just found of another ‘theology’ hero of mine, Professor Jurgen Moltmann from Tubingen. This was from Duke last year. I blushed in that picture as well. Thanks to my friend Sam Andress for this picture off his blog.
Being around these people, was, well, probably similar to the Beatles coming to Shea stadium. I didn’t pass out, but I did wet my pants one of them

OMG, I do believe I see a faint blush.:) How cool that you guys got to hear N.T. Wright. Sounds like his theology is really amazing — would be great to hear or read some of his stuff. Have a great time as you journey on!

AJ, yup you got your pictrure with Jurgy and mine did not make:(. But the memories, oh the memories! Remember when we were having breakfast in the hotel lobby and out of the corner of my eye, I spotted him! Then we proceeded to act like teen girls who just saw the Jonas Brothers…
I just have a thing for eminently thoughtful Christians.
