Started off with some thoughts on the means God has given us to communicate the faith to the coming generations (hint: holy Scripture), and then finally got around to Matthew 24:36 and the published allegation that I am teaching heresy regarding my understanding of that difficult text. Almost 90 minutes.

Well, that is what was claimed in a recent article in the Master’s Seminary Journal, so today we tackled that subject, hopefully in a respectful and brotherly fashion. I had intended to get to the Hess/Pallmann pseudo-review, but will have to hold that off till the next program. I should have realized this topic would take too long! But, hopefully, a lot to think about today.

Today we dove into a section of John 10 (with a few interruptions for commentary on the weather outside my unit) and then looked at some elements of Aquinas’ commentary on the same text. Then we read an article that contained hagiography concerning Thomas and considered the kind of thinking that lies behind such perspectives.
