Are there any still alive theologians with works worth reading besides David Bentley Hart?

Sure, pic related if you like Hart. His popular works are more polemical philosophy anyhow.

In terms of actual theology there are plenty. Jordan Wood on Saint Maximos for instance.

William Desmond.

>>25213900
Feser if you like Thomism, William Laine Craig if you like Reformed, though I don't have anything by him.

picrel are two who combine theology with natural science. I bought them two Christmases ago. lend them to your atheist friend who refuses to convert.

will check it out. My view of evolution got shaken up once I watched someone bring up the problems it offers to Christianity in the matter of the nature of Christ as it pertains to the nature of man, aka could Christ have incarnated as a homo habilis?

William Lane Craig is on par with Hart, in that he's more interested in philosophy than the Gospel

These "philosopher-theologians" have essentially traded the living God for a set of high-brow abstractions that won't offend their secular colleagues at a cocktail party. By making modern science and trendy metaphysics the final judge of Truth, they’ve gutted the Gospel of its historical power and left us with nothing but a hollow, "spiritual" mask for plain old unbelief. It’s the same old Modernist shell game: they use the church's vocabulary to preach a message that is entirely alien to the Word of God. Hard pass on everyone mentioned in this thread.

Christianity is just platonism with a Jewish middle man. Enjoy the shadows.

Do you think making such posts are free from sin?

>>25214581
when arguing with demons, anything is permitted. they lack the capacity to be human, so treating them as less than human is totally okay. that especially includes anti-theist pagans who spit on God and the self chosen.

This one actually caught my interest. Thanks.

okay. I accept your concession.

I implore you all to read this short Machen title before you delve into rationalist revisionism and accomodationism to intellectualize and explain away the utter strangeness and uniqueness of Christianity and the Gospel.

I agree. Christians should be forced to bite the bullet on all the nonsense in the Bible.

There is a pdf of it somewhere? Seems an amazing premise, but I can only find it physical copies in other countries

I listened to a podcast of this chick talk about Thelema with an actual Crowley-ite and it was utterly embarrassing how outclassed she was. Like watching a toddler be taught maths.

If there’s no digital copy consider buying a copy and digitizing it yourself.

There's absolutely zero need to believe in evolution or the supposed age of the universe to be a functional modern person, or modern scientist even. Since scientific knowledge is acquired through current observations, and then retroactively used to explain the past, not the inverse, the whole story science tells of the past can be disregarded for the purposes of doing science now.
i.e. you don't need to know humans came from lizards to cure heart disease now

The same is not true for the metaphysical presuppositions science has abandoned. You can not do science without first doing philosophy of metaphysics, epistemology, etc.
i.e. you do need to have a view of metaphysics to state (as scientists do) that mathematical equations map to physical reality

Yet the modern person is forced to submit to the dogma of the former, and free, even encouraged to disregard the necessary latter.
tl;dr FUCK the Enlightenment

Evolution is observable; you are an example of its failings.
>>
>>25215643
From personal experience I can tell you if someone doesn't believe in evolution and thinks the world is 6,000 years old or whatever they usually think a bunch of other stupid shit too. It's a good filter that if someone says something like this to disregard any of their other opinions.
