Three.Word.Dogmatics

I posted something about happenstance felicities of What.Three.Words addresses on FB, and Phil challenged me to write a three word theology. It’s been in my mind driving and walking around Northumbria on holiday this week, and this is I think my best attempt. I’ve used blank lines as additional punctuation, and there are some run-ons, which may be cheating. I’ve not checked whether any of these map to actual locations.

There are worse errors.)...

Twystematic Theology

Announcing an idea I’ve been playing with for a while: the whole of Christian doctrine, 140 characters at a time. I am going to attempt to post a complete outline of Christian doctrine (in a generally classical, broadly Reformed, Evangelical and Baptist mode – i.e., my doctrine…) through a succession of tweets. If this sounds interesting, please follow @twystematics, and/or head over to www.twystematics.org for more information. I plan to go live with the first tweet on Monday 2nd April.
