Short Update
Bible Commentaries a Sermon
While I work at a snail’s pace on a handful of different projects for Reformation Catholicism, I want to share another project I’ve been enjoying a lot.
While the Protestant-Catholic conversation takes up a lot of my mental real estate, I also basically never stop thinking about Christianity, so I have a lot of other things to say. That’s why I created a second website, also hosted on Substack, called Christocentric. At first, it was just a place I dumped anything I’d written that didn’t fit Reformation Catholicism—school projects, little homilies, etc. Recently, though, I’ve started writing short commentaries on Scripture every Friday (I call them Friday ’flections because I’m charming), and it’s been very fun. If you’ve never read ancient commentaries on Scripture, I guarantee you’ve never heard takes like these. Scripture is so much more beautiful and strange than I once dared believe.
The long and short of it is that I think Christocentric is worth your time, especially if you enjoy Reformation Catholicism. If you already trust me implicitly, you can subscribe to Christocentric (for free!!!!!!) here:
But maybe you’re the hard-bitten type who needs to be convinced. Here are a few of my reflections on the Passion for Lent:
And an essay explaining technical Trinitarian theology as simply as I possibly could.
I’m also giving you ~~exclusive pre-access~~ to something I plan to post to Christocentric in the near future: a sermon I preached at a retreat for college students at Princeton University. It’s not perfect, but I think it’s pretty decent, and I’ve already found the section on forgiveness irritatingly relevant, which is how I know I was generally on the money.
Lastly, I want to express my gratitude to those who have been reading along silently, or have reached out to tell me that you found my writing helpful. I often feel like I’m calmly shoveling hours of work and thousands of words into the void, so it’s always deeply encouraging to hear that it’s made a difference. And to those planning to enter the Church this Easter: please know that you are in my prayers.
That’s all for now. Keep an eye out for the continuation of my series on the Both/And and the Either/Or!
The best is yet to come,
Eric
