		<description><![CDATA[Not long ago I participated in an online discussion which considered the role of theology in Christian ministry on the web. The conversation was, in many ways, startling. For one thing, the role of theology was (by some) impugned as worthless and indeed inimical to Christian faith in our era. For another, during the discussion [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jmichaelrios.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9745733&amp;post=576&amp;subd=jmichaelrios&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Seminary students hear awe-filled tales about his Church Dogmatics—over 9000 pages (and incomplete!) of theologically long sentences. Karl Barth&#8217;s writings thus seem better suited to PhD [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jmichaelrios.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9745733&amp;post=544&amp;subd=jmichaelrios&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
