I was going to say the same!

Also you can follow hashtags. That how I find some of the people I follow. They're just out there speaking into hashtags like #Christian #Christianity #Theology #BiblicalStudies #Theologidon

For my personal study and devotion, I’ve been writing little devotionals about God’s attributes. So far I’ve written one for each of these:

Goodness
Wisdom
Sovereignty
Faithfulness
Grace

Which one should I do next? What’s your favorite attribute of God?

It is concerning that it seems common for theology and seminary students to be taught Biblical languages without corresponding teaching in linguistics and translation theory.

This leads to damaging views that translation is about finding one-to-one equivalents, that Biblical words just sat around with English equivalents tied to them and that it's Biblical and viable to view scholarship as the sole entry way to spiritual knowledge, as if those who didn't go to seminary are less than those who did.

Sadly, I have come across people who have attended seminary and end up with those views. I hope they are less common than they seem.

Would it be possible for seminaries to pull in a linguistics and/or translation module and summarise what the Bible demonstrates about translation.

@mtrkdjoyce Add #theology and #theologidon tags for extra reach.

Is there a reason why theologians write like that? They even do it when they're writing for ordinary people.

If you don't know what I mean, grab a theology book and see how often you read:
- dense nounification of verbs like "the becoming", "being", "othering", "being the Church", etc,
- adjectives that sound like the product of Greek classes like "salvific", "pneumatological",
- Older English terms in the middle of sentences like "the mire", "despond", "thou".

I'm used to academic waffle but theology, which talks about God who deliberately went out of the way to be understood and to talk in words everyone, even the uneducated could understand, should maybe set the example for clarity and concreteness.

I do not understand trans discrimination. Cold statistics, they don’t register significance in US gen pop (even less globally) for any variety of discriminatory hate, so why? They threaten no one; all they need is our support. Surely it is obvious this is a Straw Man fallacy. It goes beyond bigotry. Can someone please tell me what the latent issue is? There are people I love that are suffering. #sociology #philosophy #theologidon #historidon #psychology

I need your help. I am looking for a book. It was a mid century theological text on theodicy and global systems. One evidentiary illustration was of an early 70s BBC television series, wildly popular, on the geopolitics of fuel. Inexplicably, the series was cancelled miid-run and the master tapes mysteriously destroyed in a vault fire. If title and author sound famiiar to you, would you please tell me? My PhD is in organizational systems and I'm writing a book. #theology #theologidon #historidon

#Theologidon hive mind, a question: can anyone think of any women holding teaching positions in theology/divinity in the UK before about 1960? I'm struggling.

Call for papers for SST's conference, the topic is "Power" - deadline Feb 17.

#theologidons #theologidon #religion #theology I posted on Daily Kos as a theologian a beginning explanation of what religious motivations caused certain American Christian groups to attack the US Capitol. I thought a few people might be interested. Hundreds responded. People are hungry for what theologians know, research, and explore. My question: should we emerge more than we have from behind the paywalls and engage the public directly and often in the digital social platforms?

Heresies never really disappear. They just get new branding and VC funds. #theologidon

Also I’m apparently a #theologidon

I'm a #Theologidon! (That is, a #theologian who is on #Mastodon.) Check out the list of my fellow #theologidons at https://bit.ly/TheologidonsList. I found it useful to find some familiar folk. Submit your name at http://bit.ly/Theologidons if you are also one. Thanks to @pmphillips and @GrahamRKings!

I love my religion/clergy folks on the birdsite, and have done my best in the recent weeks to find them wherever else they are on the internet.

And now I have begun exploring the #religidon and #theologidon communities that are forming here. I didn't need this time-suck right now, but here we are.

I wonder are there #ruralministry #smalltownministry or #newpastor folks out here yet? I would love to get connected with those people too.

Fun to join the #theologidons community while awaiting my onward flight to #SBLAAR22 #theologidon #theology
