Saith Grok: “Love thy neighbor, and buyest thou all thine goods at WalMart.”
Is Allah God? Are Christians and Muslims talking about (numerically) the same God? We’ve previously linked and joined in with discussions with Jeremy Pierce and with Kevin Corcoran.
To further the discussion, I present a tale to explain why I think it [...]
This one goes out to our friend Bill, a.k.a. the Maverick Philosopher, a.k.a. blogger on sabbatical.
It’s going to be long month! “Just one little post, one little post!”
Seriously, I completely understand Bill’spain. Blogging can prevent one from following up on and developing ideas all the way through - as in all the way through [...]
Can you digg it, baby?
I noticed that a few readers were linking some of our posts on Reddit. I thought it’d make it easier to link us on social bookmarking sites, so I installed and activated the Sociable plugin for WordPress - the result is that little string of icons at the end of each [...]

I’ll be the worm in the duncecap. JT and Scott can fight over who is which jellybean.
Congratulations to trinities contributor Joseph Jedwab, who is in the process of finishing his PhD at Oxford, under Richard Swinburne. It’s been a good spring for Joseph. First, he lands a prestigious post-doc at Notre Dame’s Center for Philosophy [...]

No, that’s not a pic of me in high school, though it’s not far off!
Quick note to my fellow bloggers: I use this, and highly recommend it. Here’s their real homepage.
It’s free, and the new 2.1 is much improved. It makes a lot of little things easier. You have to use Firefox, but you were [...]

Who’s next? Anyone? Anyone? (sound of crickets chirping)
So far, the Survey of Trinitarian Belief (background) has been a failure. We simply have not been able to get enough people to take it.
We chose as a target population seminarians, hoping that enough theology profs would want to participate with their classes in the survey (profs get [...]
Ring around the ro… WATCH OUT DUDE!
Trinities is going group.
I realized that some of the frequent commenters are so good, and have so much to say, that sometimes I’d rather “ride” than “drive”. Some of their “comments” are as long and substantial as my posts! So I’ve invited a few to join in as contributors, [...]
Blame a lot of MMM on this guy - the Hip’ster.
I feel some need to explain and justify what is going on here, as I have divided loyalties.
On the one hand, the stated purpose of the blog is to make recent research on trinitarian theories available to the wider public, in relatively brief, understandable, jargon [...]
OK… maybe a few more.
Ah, back to teaching. Adios to the sabbatical, and to the summer. Been swamped with teaching and writing, but there will be a lot of posts eventually coming out of what I’ve been doing…
My thanks to the many excellent commenters who’ve kept the discussion alive. I’ll post something relevant to their [...]

As a penance, I’ve chosen a not very clean bucket.
I apologize for accidentally deleting your recent comments! A few misguided clicks in this blogging tool, and I accidentally deleted the third and fourth Swinburne posts (now mostly restored below), comments and all. I was able to recover most of the content of my posts, but [...]

It nearly came to this.
Been away from blogging for several days. Among other stresses: a software error caused a file of mine to be overwritten with random data. The result? Three weeks of hard, grueling writing down the drain. Yes, I know about file recovery programs - didn’t work, as the file was actually [...]

Survey participation so far has been minimal. While all are welcome to take the Survey, we’re currently trying to focus on one population, with the aim of getting a statistically valid sample: students in seminaries, or studying Christian theology at the graduate (in the UK “postgraduate”) level.
We are as yet far from having enough data. [...]
We’ve just launched a project that has been a couple of years in the making: the Survey of Trinitarian Belief. It’s an attempt to measure how the views of the Christian public do or don’t line up with contemporary trinitarian theories, as well as historical theories, and creedal statements.
Anyone can register and take the survey. [...]
My posting has been infrequent lately. That’s because I’ve been working on an old paper of mine which isn’t on philosophical theology. But it’s also because I’ve been working on a couple of very exciting blog-related things behind the scenes - stay tuned.
My recent exchange with Brandon Watson got me to thinking. This is going [...]
It turns out that Brian Leftow, whose work on the Trinity was the subject of a recent 4 part critical exposition here at trinities, is just about to publish some further thoughts on the subject, in this book, currently slated to come out in March 2007. Further, his chapter there is on the exact issue [...]
As promised, I now hope to run (walk, crawl?) through the gamut of theories of the Trinity propounded by recent analytic philosophers. My aim is to bring these articles to a wider audience, so I’ll try to write clearly, and focus on the what I think is important about the piece. I’ll try to omit [...]
My posting has slowed down a lot lately. Been doing two time-consuming new class preps, etc.
I’ve also been writing some editorials for my local newspaper which are (believe it or not) philosophy of religion themed. For now they’re searchable at the paper, and they’re archived on my friend Steve’s blog. (I’m “The Theist” there.) Steve [...]

I’ve adopted (for the time being) a pretty open policy on the comments. Don’t encourage careless posters, that is, trolls, who drop unsupported controversial claims like firecrackers in order to get attention for themselves. Such a person often thinks of himself as a latter-day Socrates, but shows none of Socrates’ deadly seriousness, moral earnestness, or [...]

Thanks to my buddy Chard for letting me know about this: If you only see about a paragraph on this blog, it’s because you’re using the latest beta version of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer web browser (the to-be-released Version 7). The solution? Get the free, fenomenal Firefox web browser - go here, and click the “Get [...]

From time to time, I’m going to set up some simple polls for ya’ll to vote in. I’ve decided to set them up outside of WordPress (this blog’s software), so as to avoid various complications. Here’s praying that I don’t run into technical difficulties that are over my head!
I’ve shamelessly stolen the four claims - [...]
