I live in Germany with my amazing wife and our three beautiful and precocious children. In 2010 I finished a Masters in Biblical Studies at Trinity Western University (British Columbia, Canada), where I wrote my thesis on Temple Christology in the Gospel of John. I am currently at the Georg-August-Universität in Göttingen, beginning a Dr.Theol. as part of The Sofja-Kovalevskaja Research Group studying early Jewish Monotheism. My dissertation will focus on the presentation of God in Job.
C. Orthodoxy is my online home, a place to explore the links between Christian faith and postmodern culture. As my masthead suggests, I hope I am orthodox, but I have no finished system, just a passion for that beautiful yet indistinct line between heaven and earth.
For a fuller introduction, try How I became a Christian, or anything on the Featured Posts or Reviews pages. You can also follow me on Twitter and see my photostream on Flickr. And for those who wondered: C. Orthodoxy is pronounced like “See? Orthodoxy.” Or if you prefer, “See: Orthodoxy!?”

LOL Thanks Ken. I can honestly say I think people have been nicer to me since I started using this gravtar.
I do mostly cult apologetics online, and I started to use this gravatar when I started focusing on the Word of Faith. I am waiting for the next WoF person to say,,,, “you don’t believe in the Holy Spirit and you don’t believe God can do miracles. And your just angry because you do not have enough faith to get your healing and prosperity.” So I could say,,, “hey are saying God needs to heal my face,,, this is the one He gave me and I look beautiful bald,, don’t I? I cannot be alone around woman besides my wife,,, because they cannot keep their hands off of me. They all want to pinch my cheeks and play with my ears! I got my blessing,,, can’t you see?”
That scenario has not yet played itself out like I imagined it would,,,, perhaps the picture is actually too dis-alarming. LOL
I read your “How I became a Christian” series. It was real good. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, though we’ve only met in person a couple of times (he didn’t start at Trinity until after I had finished coursework).

Interesting! I’ve been puzzling over the John 6 bread blood flesh passages recently and wondering how strong a link there is to the Passover context. Now realised that John’s gospel appears to be structured around the various feasts and, apparently, in chronological order?
So, well done Google in leading me to your site. Keep up the good work and Happy New Year!

The chronology is a little sketchy, as there are three Passovers in John, but chs 5-10 do seem to correspond to the expected order of festivals, especially considering Leviticus 23, where Sabbath (John 5) is first, then Passover (John 6), then Tabernacles (John 7-8) comes later. Dedication (John 10) not only follows Tabernacles on the calendar, but is also later historically, celebrating the dedication of the Second Temple.
Thanks for commenting!
