Immanuel

עמנו אל   (sans vowel markings) "God is with us." Lovin' Hebrew.

I'll try again...

...Though I will not promise much. I had a fine laugh at the few posts prior to these. No more pretensions about metaphysical or philosophical prowess. I don't know that I ever truly possessed such a trait, though I might have fooled myself.

I am currently a student in seminary, though that may change. I am learning that I am, to quote songwriter Johnny Flynn, "born with a love for the wrote and the writ." I long to be a servant with what little I am given.

Dedalus can't be the surname for this fellow any longer (I'm looking into changing the alias). I love so many things literary and narrative, and yet I find myself so captivated by the expanse of the history of our faith. I'm most willing to put aside old debates for new wineskins of charitable historical and theological debate.

Perhaps something of weightier matter will yield fruit of more eternal value.

Studies at the moment:
Greek Exegesis
Biblical Hebrew
A rough survey of church history
A less-than-exemplary class on ethics

Grace and Peace
