Ack...

Well, I've managed to not post in over a month. If blogging were a sin, I'd be on my way to sainthood...

Anyway, I've not given up. I took a vacation in Tyrol, and made some progress on the dissertation here (Good side: I'm in the 20th Century! Bad side: that means dealing with the monster chapter on Barth's view of the topic), as well as finishing another course on the philosophy side (I might really make comps around the first of the year).

So now I'm dealing with Barth and Brunner's essays, a couple volumes of the Kirchliche Dogmatik, and Pannenberg's critique of Barth on one side, and trying to get together an analysis of the relationship between being, virtue and the good on the other.

In other projects, I'm going to submit a critique of Craig's Molinism for a Masterclass here in Munich, I'm working on a paper on God and Time (I'm a B-Time guy, I'll post something about that soon), and preparing my paper on virtue and deontological epistemology for the EPS national meeting in November.

Add to that the fact that I've still got to pass my state Greek exam (and have to work in there somewhere too!), and you can see why I don't find much time to blog. But, it's doable.

I'll leave you with a paraphrase of something (and addition to) I heard recently: Keeping your faith when all is lost can be made easier when we do away with hyperbole. All is not lost, only some things aren't how we would like them. Rejecting the temptation of this false "all is wrong" reality allows us to see the reality of our God, who holds us in the palm of His own hand.
