I hope to post some thoughts on liberal theologians I've read lately. For lack of time, I'll post some links about Bishop Spong's rather liberal pop theology. First is a well written response to his theses from Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams; second, a review of one of his earlier books from Probe Ministries (I don't necessarily vouch for PM, as they are sometimes too fundy, but this review is decent).
Green eggs and ham, as a recolorized staple breakfast food, captures the reader's attention by turning this diurnal sustenance into an unexpected and apparently unappetizing foodstuff. It thus symbolizes the existential angst of modern life, wherein we are unfulfilled by modern life, and are repelled by something that might impart nourishment. The "protagonist" to be convinced of its desirability remains anonymous, while the other actor refers to himself with an emphatic identifier "Sam I am", formed with a pronominal subject and copular verb of existence. This character thus seeks to emphasize his existence and existential wholeness, and even establish a sense of self-existence, with an apparent Old Testament allusion to Elohim speaking to Moses as the "I Am". This emphatic personal identifier thus introduces a prominent theme of religious existentialism to the narrative, probably more in line with original Kierkegaardian religious existentialism, rat
