Theology at War: Understanding Iran Begins with Understanding Twelver Shiism

Understanding Iran therefore requires more than studying military capabilities or diplomatic strategy. It requires taking theology seriously.

So, in keeping with Mark’s focus on discipleship this Fall, your Reformation Sunday sermon on John 8 might reflect on what it means to be a disciple.

To hear and mediate on his promises in the various ways he delivers them.
