Does Paul show an awareness of ancient Jewish traditions that Adam had glory that was lost due to his disobedience? Check out my latest YouTube video: youtube.com/watch?v=AqLAbTDi…

Working on a paper for a conference this weekend that--in part--highlights various ways contemporary exegetes misrepresent the finer nuances of what constitutes Trinitarian theology. This quotation from Augustine keeps coming to mind. @sacradoctrina

Someone was happy to learn that they made the cover of an @americamag story... until they saw it.
"You made the cover photo!"
"I did?! Did they catch my good side?"

Reminds me of the horse in Caravaggio's painting of the Conversion on the Way to Damascus.
