My friend, Travis McMaken, recent PhD graduate of the infamous Princeton Theological Seminary, and newly minted Barth scholar has re-created (which is what Barthians and Torranceans are into, re-creation) his blog from the one to the many (another Barthian and Torrancean emphasis … so this move makes sense, from being to becoming); he has changed his blog from his sole proprietorship, into a consolidated form that now includes a few others. You will have to check it out! Here’s what Travis wrote of the new direction at his blog:

Attentive readers may have noticed that there’s something different about DET. Indeed, there is something very different. For DET has transformed from “Der Evangelische Theologe” to “Die Evangelischen Theologen.”

You may ask, Why the change?

While I was in Princeton to defend my dissertation, circumstances and conversations lead me to reminisce about the “good ol’ days” of theo-blogging and the current decline in the practice. Put simply, all the old theo-blogs that were my fellow travelers have ground to a halt and – indeed – my own work here at DET has slowed considerably under the strain of assuming the rigorous responsibilities of full time academic teaching. . . . Rather than remaining only my personal blog, I have invited a number of theological students from various stages of their academic careers to join me here in a communal endeavor to foster theological community through blogging. You can read about these intrepid individuals on the new Contributors page in the top menu. You may also read more about this renewed vision for DET in the new About page, also accessible in the top menu.

I encourage you to head on over! Here’s the link Die Evangelischen Theologen, or you can always find this in my sidebar/blogroll.
