Sobre IBD

Concepts taken for granted cause trouble later if they are forgotten. Biblical religion is world-affirming and historical.That means finding some positive constructionfor the pains of life, and finding themeaning of life in history. The Exodus isthe backbone of the Bible: it holds togetherthe Old Testament, and it is the modelfor the New Testament. Biblical religionis covenantal: it is a choice, notsomething that could be proven.As with Aquinas, acts of God do not interfere with nature, but transcendence builds on nature. Atthis point, it is possible to say alittle about God; more belongs intheology, not in philosophicalpresuppositions.     Andrew Porter holds doctorates in computational physics and philosophical theology, and has taught for the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences in the Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley, CA.

We deal with them without answering them (or answer them only with irony), for example, in the comic strips, but philosophers are usually loath to admit that th...

  • The Accountant’s Tale
    Andrew P. Porter / Andrew PPorter
    Three problems in the life of the church:(1) For the past millennium, theologians have done a brisk trade in proofs, arguments for the so-called 'existence' of God, the validity of the Christian faith, and so on. I think this is a mistake; Christianity is a choice.(2) Typical Christian theology begins with Jesus rather than with the Common Documents, the documents shared in com...

  • Living in Spin
    Andrew P. Porter / Andrew PPorter
    All the hard questions about human action are about what to include in a story, what can be left out, and how to characterize what gets included. A narrative selects from all the world’s motions which ones are part of or relevant to an act, and so narratives give us what narratives have already shaped: the relation is circu...
