Round the Sphere Again: Clearer Still

A few recent posts adding more light to subjects that have already been included as Theological Terms.

Trinity
How is the Father greater than Jesus while also equal? A quote from James White at Ordinary Pastor.

Typology
Dan Phillips (Pyromaniacs) says another way to look at the New Testament fulfillment of the Old Testament is “Huh?” and “Oh!”

Many mysteries are stirred and tales half-told, left unresolved and unsatisfied by the time Malachi (or 2 Chronicles, in the Hebrew Bible) is finally penned. But all those central mysteries are resolved with the complex of revelation unfolded in the coming of Christ.

Worldview
as a tree. Paige Britton at Green Baggins gives us a different scheme for examining worldviews.

The point of the Tree is that a consistent thought system can be shown to run organically from “roots” to “fruits.” Not that people generally walk around with well-articulated or particularly consistent thought systems in their heads – but as an apologetic tool, this graphic organizer can be used to visually emphasize inconsistencies in somebody’s system (e.g., the fact that certain “fruits” were stolen from the Christian Tree and duct-taped onto a non-Christian one) and also to display the beautiful consistency of the biblical worldview. As a teaching tool for Christians, the Tree can be used to present identifiable worldly thought systems over against the biblical view of reality, and it can be used to organize data gathered from a speaker or author in order to figure out what Tree he or she is sitting in.

Be sure you look at the first comment to see The Biblical Worldview Tree.
