I mentioned that I got a copy of *[The Jesus Creed](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1557254001/dashhouse-20?ref=dashhouse.com)* the other day. It looks to be a great book, written by a theologian yet accessible to anyone without dumbing down.

[Scot McKnight](http://personal.northpark.edu/smcknight/?ref=dashhouse.com) reminds me of [one of my professors](http://www.heritage-theo.edu/Faculty/Stan%5FFowler.html?ref=dashhouse.com) who had a similar gift (although some different theological positions). No other professor could have made us want to show up for three hours on a Friday afternoon to a theology class. Stan made it the place to be. He mixed solid thinking with clarity and piety. I still keep a 3-inch binder in my office of notes from his class. I would sit through them again if I could. (I’m sure he’s no longer using a dot matrix printer for his handouts.)

I agree, by the way, with [Wayne Grudem](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0310286700/dashhouse-20?ref=dashhouse.com) when he says:

> I do not believe that God intended the study of theology to be dry and boring. Theology is the study of God and all his works! Theology is meant to be *lived* and *prayed* and *sung!*…and theology when studied rightly will lead to growth in our Christian lives, and to worship.

Scot also reminds me of a friend who has a passion for communicating a complex subject with clarity. He maintains a website called [TechStuff](http://www.techstuff.ca/?ref=dashhouse.com) – “Technology in Plain Language”. Different subject, same principle.

I love technology, but what I love even more is the idea of *theology* in plain language, written not just for academics, but in service to the church. May their tribe increase.
