You have to be kidding me...
This website is ridiculous. Plough Publishers gives away all their books for free as pdf downloads. You are probably asking yourself, "Which of these books should I download?" The answer is all of them. But if you do not want to download them all, I would download all the books by either of the Blumhardts. Johann Christoph Blumhardt was a late 19th, early 20th century pastor, politician, preacher, evangelist, faith-healer, and theologian from southern Germany. "Why should I care about this Blumhardt fellow?" is the question you should probably be asking yourself at this point. Have you ever heard of Karl Barth, maybe Dietrich Bonhoeffer, surely Jurgen Moltmann? What do these three theologians have in common? Well, besides their German heritage and prominence as theologians, each of these three were deeply influenced by the life and work of both Johann and Christoph Blumhardt. Enjoy my friends!

Here I come again
I have decided to start blogging again. I will be blogging about theology, movies, and school. That is the goal. Please feel free to interact.
Let me begin by saying that I find conservative evangelical psuedo-theological discourse to be completely bankrupt and quite absent of any constructive and therefore liberative meaning. When I speak of conservative evangelicalism, I have in mind my alma mater Biola University in mind. Proponents of this tradition represent nothing more than a history of muddled anti-intellectualism, chauvinist imperialism, and ideological intolerance. This tradition claims to seek after God, but has found only its backward self.
