Welcome to Cerberus

Have you ever met someone who has a Bible verse to legitimize every activity in which they engage? I have, and though I am loath to fall into such a category, I will risk it.

"A threefold cord is not quickly broken," says the Preacher of Ecclesiastes. Perhaps good old Solomon did not have quite this situation in mind, but a more interesting curiosity presents itself to my mind; namely, the irony of juxtaposing a scriptural quotation with the three-headed dog of Greek myth. It's something of a mixed metaphor, one might say, to apply the scriptural with the pagan so closely together.

As such, it is appropriate that this blog begin with such a paradox, as it is our conviction that Christian thought must always be brought to application, and even confrontation, with the world. As Stephen and Daniel have already forecast, this blog will not only deal with theology, not only with philosophy, not only with culture, but it it will deal with all of them together. It's our belief that this is not something strange or forced. Rather, they need each other in order to fully be themselves. What was that about a threefold cord?
