In blogging and discussing intelligent design for some time now it has become clear to me that, at least in the blogosphere, the theological issues and implications surrounding ID have not been covered in very much depth. Accordingly, I have created a new blog to do just that. ID critics are not just to be found outside the religious traditions. More and more mainline groups are taking positions on ID and attempting to defend those positions theologically. What are those theological defenses, do they represent good systematic theology, and do they really fit within a tradition? Those are some of the questions that will be explored. While the theology of ID will be covered extensively, this blog will have a broader scope. The intent will be to cover many issues facing theology in this new millennium. The past few decades in particular have presented significant challenges for theistic religion. There are many changes occuring within the traditions as well as new theological approaches emerging. The scope of issues for theism in this millennium is obviously vast. I have some ideas of my own on how to address them, but I also look forward to learning from participants. One difference, perhaps, of this theology blog is that it does not align itself with any particular religious tradition. That, I think, can engender a creative climate of dialog among those aligned with a particular tradition and those who are not. I hope some of you will participate and look forward to exploring together.

Check it out.

(Note: This is a personal blog and although I am one of the hosts here at Telic Thoughts this new blog is not something "endorsed" by TT.)
