Note: This is part of a series on the Trinity from a rational, non-mystical perspective. See the index here. I like Jesse Albrecht. I do. He runs the very interesting “Rational Christian Discernment,” which is such a fantastic title for a blog. And he’s even commented on this blog. I …

Note: This is part of a series on the Trinity from a rational, non-mystical perspective. See the index here.

I’m a semi-regular reader of Feeriker’s blog. His family and work situation is interesting, and he often asks for prayer. I also sometimes read his comments at other places (when I happen to notice his name pop up in my RSS feed). Well, Feeriker tends to write mostly well-measured responses, …
