This site is devoted to theological and philosophical investigations of the spiritual meanings of life, current events, music, spiritual growth, nature, and learning to be attuned to listening to the 'language of God.' The name of this blog comes from one of Jonathan Edwards's journals which he called 'Shadows of Divine Things,' and later renamed 'Images of Divine Things.' As a Christian I am continously on a spiritual journey to grow more into the image of Christ, to understand what it means to be crucified with Christ. To seek the truths of the Christian Faith is of upmost importance, and to know that any truths that are found outside of Christianity are present there because they ultimately point to God. I have an M.A. in theology and apologetics and I completed one year of graduate studies in Philosophy at Marquette University.

Johnson...good one. He's over here in my Atl stomping grounds at Emory. (Sometime I daydream about doing the Ph.D., Religion at Emory.)
I heard a lecture he gave last year on Christianity and ecology. It was very good. He's quite a bright guy and extremely personable too.
Hey Jeremiah,
You should do your Ph.D. at Emory - what's holding you back?
Well, I just may go for it at Emory in a couple of years. I'm not now in a position where it would be feasible (with the measely 15K/year stipend trying to pay for all 6 of us!). But, I am considering it more and more as time goes on.
After the "conversion" (I know that word is not quite appropriate), I was thrown for a loop with regard to further graduate studies. But, now that I've settled a bit in my faith, I imagine I just might get back into studies, hopefully leading to a Ph.D. Emory is a good school though. I'm not exactly sure I could get in, but we'll see. That's all a couple of years out.
But, thanks for the encouragement! I still would love to teach on the college level. Did you happen to catch cnnmoney.com's Top 50 Jobs for the next 10 years? (You can Google and find the link.) It had "College Professor" as #2 overall!!
