  • Hewitt--how to get traffic
  • Take one topic deep and have broad knowledge
  • Take care of your tone
[this panel discussion was a bit engaging--a good thing--so I forgot to write down the questions--oops--these are the things that stuck in my mind]

Tod: The church re-presents Christ on earth
John Mark: life from the perspective of a Christian philosopher
  • thoughtful self-disclosure
  • be careful what you say
  • ask youself hard questions and deal with them
Mark: key passage is 'speaking the truth in love'

Tod: write and then wait before posting

John Mark: treat detractors like David did in 2 Samuel 16

Who should not blog?

John Mark

  • You don't want to dialogue
  • You can't make any strong statements about anything
Mark
  • You blog as an escape
  • Your family needs your time
  • You have a hard time dealing with anger
  • You are a perfectionist

Tod
  • You are not called to a writing ministry

101505 Theology Blogging, David Wayne

What is theology?

  • stance, not merely study
  • anytime you say anything that isnot a direct quote of Scripture, you are doing theology
  • theology is an ongoing task

How do we do theology?

1. Exegesis
  • the particular passage
  • redemptive historical interpretation
  • topical (systematic)
2. Community
  • private judgment
  • present representatives
  • heritage

3. Christian Living
