It’s often been in taverns, with a cosy drink to hand, that the best theology has been done – take Cambridge’s White Horse Inn, from which the Reformation spread through England. Carrying on the tradition, welcome to The Merrie Theologiane!

Here we believe that good theology is not something dry and dusty. Good theologians are a merry breed. Why? The good theologian chuckles at how absurdly good the gospel of Jesus is. He laughs, because he doesn’t take himself too seriously. And he knows the power of a good giggle: tittering at what tempts him robs it of its power. So don’t be a pompous ass. Be a merrie theologiane!

To help you chortle through all your theology, each month we’ll introduce you to some more merrie theologie.

Ye Merrie Captionne Competitionne!

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

Merriment is always at its best when shared.  A good joke usually benefits from an audience, and unfortunate (but amusing) accidents beg to be spied upon unintentionally.  Chuckling with a friend is indeed good medicine.  So this month we are inviting readers to share in the mirth by taking part in our first ever caption competition.  Three pictures below await the wit and wordplay of Theology Network readers.

To submit your captions, click on 'comments' below and give us a caption for 'Whitefield', 'Aquinas' and 'Piper'.

The best entry will receive a copy of that book of most merrie theologie, The Unquenchable Flame by Michael Reeves. 

Let the banter begin!

Whitefield

 

 

Aquinas
