I am going to try and do something  a little different when I have the time and wherewithal, I am going to try and take dogmatic theological themes and attempt to do cultural exegesis through the lens of said dogmatic theology. My goal in doing this, at least one goal, will be to illustrate how theology actually is relevant for the every-day man and woman; that we do not live in a vacuum, and that whether at  conscious or unconscious levels we engage our daily worlds through intellectual and spiritual lenses whether we like it or not. Through postings like this I also hope to illustrate, at least, how I engage and interpret the culture around me on a daily basis through a theological lens, but I also hope to inculcate in others an inclination toward beginning to recognize how they and all of us interpret our surroundings through one lens or another everyday. Primarily I hope to call people, if they are not already, to be intentional about the way they think about God, themselves and others; with the result that our lives will be lived much more Christianly each day as we grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ.
