Objectively Wrong! An Aristotelian Response to William Lane Craig's Moral Argument for God's Existence
In this paper, I present a much-neglected Aristotelian response to William Lane Craig’s popular moral argument for God’s existence. I argue that a striking concession in Craig’s work, when taken together with an Aristotelian understanding of morality, simply implies that the objectivity of moral…

Rejoinder to Scott Williams on the Logic of “Through”
I have recently argued that the Nicene doctrine of the consubstantiality of Father and Son is incompatible with the assertion that the Father created the world “through” the Son (cf. John 1:3; 1 Cor. 8:6; Col. 1:16–17; Heb. 1:2, 10). Scott Williams has critiqued my essay on two grounds: that its…

Editorial: Flourishing in Religious Communities
In recent years, the question of what makes for flourishing at the individual and communal levels has risen to a place of prominence in both popular and academic imaginations. One notable example of this can be found in the recent Global Flourishing Study (GFS), a survey which captures health…

Flourishing and the Temptations of Epistemic Isolation
Religious communities are sites of shared meaning and belonging that foster human flourishing. They can also be sites of contrastive identity, in and through which friends are distinguished from enemies. In fact, cultivating enemies can bind communities, including religious communities, more…

Shalom, Ḥesed, and Tsedaqah as Religious Community Pathways to Human Flourishing
This research explores shalom, ḥesed, and tsedaqah as Old Testament theological virtues that shape the moral and spiritual foundations of human flourishing in religious communities. Through an exegetical-theological reading of Psalm 85, Isaiah 32, and Jeremiah 29, this research argues that the…

Vulnerability, Virtue, and Flourishing in the Rarámuri-pagótuame
This article examines the concept of human flourishing (Aristotelian εὐδαιμονία) through a case study of the indigenous-religious community of the Rarámuri-pagótuame, located in the Sierra Tarahumara, Northwestern Mexico. The objective is to present a concrete model where communal worldview, the…

The Scylla and Charybdis of Libertarian Christology
Any Christology that posits a libertarian sense of free agency to Christ in his humanity is caught in a dilemma between two conciliar heresies. If it affirms the orthodox view that Christ has two wills (dyothelitism), then it succumbs to Nestorianism. If, in order to avoid Nestorianism, it affirms…

Only God Knows Best
This paper develops an epistemic argument for aspirational theism, the view that for agents who regard theism as a live epistemic possibility, there exist defeasible reasons to rationally hope that God exists. The argument begins from the fact that finite epistemic agents must economize their…

Soulcraft and Social Action
This article sketches a particular vision of what it means for a religious community to flourish that is predicated upon an interpretation of the Christian narrative influenced by Augustine of Hippo. Within this vision, it argues, flourishing is inherently communal but ultimately eschatological as…

A Revolutionary Atonement

Towards the Measurement of Flourishing in Religious Communities
In this essay we describe ways that empirical measurement, when theologically informed, can deepen the pursuit of truth and flourishing in religious communities, particularly Christian congregations. By drawing on recent epidemiological and social-scientific work linking religion, spirituality, and…

Dissociative Identity Disorder, Friendship, and Christian Flourishing
In contemporary disability theology, attention has been given to considerations of how disabled persons can be better included, or even find belonging, in Christian communities. I will contribute towards this endeavour by considering how the flourishing of those with Dissociative Identity…

Unity in Divine Complexity
: I argue that a focus on articulating God’s unity in terms of divine simplicity has overshadowed the exploration of alternative theories of divine complexity. Assessing the compatibility between models of the divine nature and formulations of unity, I claim that, whereas the principle of unity…

Theology for Equivocators
This essay concerns glut-theoretic theology. Glut-theoretic theists hold that God exists and that some statements about him are both true and false at once. Thus, glut-theoretic theology rejects the principle of semantic bivalence—that every statement is either true or false, never both—a pillar of…

Three Doctrines, One Faith: Commonsense Christianity
Religious thought and belief in a wide variety of traditions harbors claims that, on their face, offend against both science and common sense. At their extreme, they include affirmations that are paradoxical. They seem to defy the constraints of logic and reason generally. Yet they are often…

Going Further Together
Christian communities are often discussed as communities of faith. In this article I consider how they are also communities of hope. Hope is highly relevant to communal flourishing as the theological virtue of hope aims at one’s ultimate postmortem well-being. Yet, authors such as Augustine and…

Geach Is Right, but God Is Good
Peter Geach argues that “good” and “bad” are always logically attributive adjectives. Geach’s position is highly plausible and enjoys the support of many philosophers. But in a recent paper, Eric Wiland argues that if Geach is correct, then the claim “God is good” is nonsense. Wiland’s argument…

Becoming Perfect and Other Axiological Advantages of Theism
The axiology of theism focuses on whether living in a theistic or non-theistic reality is best for worlds or the lives of persons. Some argue that supernatural-atheism—the view that God does not exist, but things like karma or souls do—is best because, on that view, worlds or persons could possess…

The Anastatic Theory of Atonement
I propose and defend a model of the atonement, called “anastatic” because of the central role played by Christ’s resurrection. According to this model, union with Christ is achieved by means of expanding the divine act of resurrection to incorporate sinners, thereby granting them access to a new…
