About meCurrently a student at Talbot School of Theology taking time off to pay the bills. I'm in the philosophy program, but there's a good chance I'll be switching to theology. I did my undergrad at Cal State Long Beach (BA Religious Studies, 2004) and got a certificate in Christian Apologetics from Biola (2003). I blog at The A-Team Blog (www.ateamblog.com). I also have interests in Reformed and Historical Theology. The Boston Red Sox are one of God's blessings to curb evil and suffering in the world.
I co-edited The New Media Frontier (www.newmediafrontier.com) which was published by Crossway in Sept. '08 edit God and Governing was published by Pickwick Publications (Wipf & Stock) in July '09.
About my libraryThe Roger Overton Library consists primarily of theological works (as you can see from the tags). At the time of my writing this, I have the largest C.S. Lewis library on LT- something I'm quite proud of :)

As to theological implications, I would suggest the following. If those are right who claim that almost everybody before the Enlightenment held to some form of Virtue Ethics, then this probably holds true even of Luther. (It could be that he held to Deontology, but I think Pascal is usually credited with causing the seismic shift here.) Luther has a lot of nasty things to say of Aristotle, who taught a Virtue theory. It is probably best to conclude that Luther was not attacking his ethics as a Virtue theory, but just the Pelagian application of it. What exactly this entails, I'm still trying to fathom. But it might change the picture in a way that is worth noting. I'd submit this more as a helpful line of questioning at this point than as a fully-formed answer.

Do you know Ross Chenault? He's a friend of mine that did the Biola apologetics MA about the time you were there, I think.
I always wanted to complete the Talbot MA. But I could never make it happen since the program was structured around a daytime schedule and even when I lived in San Diego, it was too far to drive that many days a week. That's why I went with the MA at Trinity. Frank Beckwith was my main prof there (and Craig Hawkins).
Talk later,
Jeff

At the end of chapter one he says: "A gentleman is not simply a man that stands apart. He is a man who stands up for others, sometimes even for his enemies. Often when those others have no clue he is there for them."
These are the types of arguments that Brad Minor gives to us as the reader for taking the path of a gentleman.
Thanks for writing the review. I just wish more people would follow your lead.

You and I sure share interests! I will give you a run for your money when I finish listing all my C S Lewis books. Peter Kreeft is a good friend of mine and mentor of sorts so you two are quite the soul mates!! He once said he tells his classes the easy way to get an A would be to give him free tickets to the Red sox games.
I have no blogs, etc. Only an email address---I teach English at TTU; wrote a thesis on the Augustinian influence in selected fiction by CS Lewis, published a word index to the poetry of Lewis, yada yada yada ---
