Welcome to my blog, ALoveSupreme. If you know a little about jazz you will recognize A Love Supreme as John Coltrane's classic album recorded with McCoy Tyner (piano), Reggie Jackson (bass) and Elvin Jones (drums). It more or less sums up what I think about theology and faith, but don't ask me to put too fine a definition on it. It's more about spiritual intuition and where the language of Christian theology and religious expression points, though the music isn't the end, either. Maybe we just keep trying to say it and "it" remains elusive but necessary. That should take care of any concerns of running out of things to write about. I intend to share some sermons, articles and thoughts about various theological issues in this space. My own interests include the relationship of Christianity and other faith traditions, theology and social/environmental justice, theology and the arts, Jesus scholarship, the emerging church, and all of this in the light (hopefully light) of Lutheran theology. I'll try to make it interesting and relevant and have some fun with it. Stay tuned.
