Kristen Burroughs.

I create to force the inside out, to other myself, to expose my soul …

“The truth is seldom pleasant …”

Solzhenitsyn.


I BElieve.

God. Prayer. Devotion. Sanctification. The struggle. Koine Greek.

Oswald Chambers. Lettie Cowman. Spurgeon. Calvin’s Institutes, occasionally. Reading Jowett, Kitto, Bagster and AB Simpson, now.

REad Faithful BLOG POSTs

I THINK.

Philosophical theology. Intellectual history. Christian populism. Hermeneutics. Existentialism. Logic. Classical Greek and Sanskrit.

Perry Miller. Max Weber. Wittgenstein. Kierkegaard. Reading Michael Crichton’s book on travelling and Goethe’s Faust, in the tub, of course.
