Old Testament: Genesis 32:22-30 (Pentecost 19: Series C)

Theology and Philosophy: In Conversation with Robert Jenson

Theology is not to simply adopt the positions and presuppositions of philosophy, nor should it reject philosophy.
1517 is a Christian non-profit (501(c)3) multi-media organization. Our mission is to declare and defend the Good News that we are forgiven and free on account of the death and resurrection of Jesus alone.
