    Kevin Vanhoozer shares some affinity with Barth and Placher as well. His separation of theology and ethics I find most interesting because his premise, that scripture and its subsequent doctrine can best be understood as a script for dramatic performance. And yet somehow Vanhoozer separates the script and its performance, suggesting at various points throughout his book The Drama of Doctrine that both stand on their own. In Vanhoozer’s narrative approach, God the director is also the scriptwriter with the script being scripture. Additionally, the script itself, scripture, is also an actor.…

The doctrine of salvation focuses on continuous growth in sanctification resulting in deification, or rather becoming like God.…

    The religion of Christianity was not a religion that popped up overnight and spread all across the world. Christianity is a religion that developed out of a preexisting religion and offered followers an opportunity that other world religions of that time did not. This opportunity was the hope that after death followers would have an eternity of peace. This opportunity at everlasting peace and release from the torments of this world and the expansion of long distance trade routes allowed for the rapid expansion of Christianity across the known world. Christianity is a religion that falls under the category of religions of salvation which are defined as “religions that offer followers the restoration of both the body and soul” (Webster’s Dictionary).…

    One’s faith is dictated by believing in God but in some cases like the Christians have, believing that Christ revealed God through the Catholic Church and the body of Christ is united in the Holy Spirit. The word “believing” in the statement above means that our God wants us to partake in His divine life. Faith is one of the most evident replies we can give to God as a sign that we are his disciples and accept Him as our one and only Lord and Saviour. It is when we knock in his door that he says, “Please come in!” Yes, I do think that we believers of God must possess a certain type of dedication that we must change in order for us to live by His words and follow Him.…
