A question I’ve been considering of late is, “How are we (pastors/church leaders) to relate to others in Christian community?”
Unsurprisingly, Gustavo Gutierrez has answered my question in his description of the “messianic inversion,” which is intended to be prescriptive for the church.

Reading a book by a PhD intended for laypeople and finding out quickly that they are a much better writer for academic audiences.
Which got me wondering, who is the best PhD/academic author you’ve come across who is as excellent writing to laypeople as to academics? (Excluding CS Lewis)

What is common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders (and for this one it’s some insiders too)?
The rapture was a 19th century invention, based on the theology and interpretation of John Nelson Darby, and is not in fact something that was believed, nor written, by Biblical authors.

(Bringing back a 2018 Twitter hit): Keeping honey bees to save the bees is like keeping chickens to save the birds. They're a managed species and not at risk of extinction. The bees at risk of extinction are wild species.

Ants often act like inefficient goofballs. They got lost, accidentally drop their good and walk in circles trying to find it but eventually give up and go home, half of the ants in a nest just sit there 24/7 and do absolutely nothing.

I don’t mean to sound elitist, but this response by Rowan Williams to Jordan Peterson underpins why it is so important to value theologians and biblical scholars who have dedicated their lives to the task of biblical interpretation.

I know of many who are excited that the Bible is being brought into classrooms in OK. Many think, “Hey this is great, so many student’s will have the opportunity to learn about Jesus and stories from the Bible.”
And if that were the actual desired intent, I would have less issue with it.
