Welcome to The Luminous Scriptorium - A space where theology is purposefully inscribed, ancient wisdom meets contemplative thought, and the written word lights a candle for our world.
I'm a theologian, philosopher, and scholar of multi-disciplinary studies. I've written more than a dozen books that address love in some way. I direct a doctoral program in open and relational theology. Website: thomasjayoord.com
I write about existential philosophy for our everyday lives. I focus a lot on outdoor activities such as mountain biking, trout fishing, and camping, in the hope that you will find inspiration here for walking the trails of life with joy.
Theology is more like poetry than geometry.
Theology is "vile for the sake of the gospel" (so says my friend, John Wesley).
Aspiring to a vile poetics.
