A suggestion for new readers...

I recommend that if you are new to this site that you start by reading the earlier postings first. It's my intent to lay some critical groundwork in these early posts that will be important to fully appreciating the later material.

A Brief Note for Those Outside the Christian Tradition

As a Christian, it's my intent to refactor Christian theology.  This is my tradition and it's the framework that works best for to help me make sense of my place in the universe.

Having said this, I would like to suggest that there's nothing inherently Christian about refactoring theology.  By this, I mean that I would very much be interested in the feedback of those from other faith traditions.  It is my suspicion that one could refactor Islamic, Hindu, or Jewish theology is much the same ways that I am suggesting be done with Christian theology.

I will not attempt to do this kind of work, since I am not qualified to speak to these traditions.  But I would welcome the thoughts of others who are part of other faith communities.  How well do these process translate?  What insights might be gained?  Are there any parts of refactoring theology that cannot work within a specific tradition?
