This month I was able to finish a seminary class on the doctrine of God, the Bible, and Holy Spirit. This is part of a requirement for Cru, and I’m glad I finally got it on my schedule.
I loved it. I really recommend the book Systematic Theology by Gruden. It is written to describe orthodox doctrine, but in a way that touches your heart. There are wonderful questions for reflection at the end of each chapter.
I was really struck with how beautiful the relationship of the Trinity is presented in Scripture. For example, in Luke 10:21, after the 72 returned after he had sent them out, “Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, ‘I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth…” Isn't that cool?
I’m looking forward to the Christian Worldview class at the end of January.
And yes, I got an A!
And yes, we loved seeing Ohio State beat Michigan State last weekend! Glad to have fellow Cru Staff, fellow Buckeye, and family friend Stephen Blackwell join us for the game!
Hi Barrett. Great book by Gruden. I went through the book with Bruce Chester in a Faith Church SS class over an 18 month period. One my favorite books, right up there with Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. It's been 12 years, so I think it's time to go through it again....

Oh yea, I'm a Spartan grad. Was not pleased with the outcome of last weekend's game. I guess that was the Buckeye's revenge from last year.
