Oh I wish I could make it to one of these. Hurtado's book had an enormous (positive) impact on my thinking and my confidence. High on my list of people I'd like to hear and meet.

Larry utters a very interesting phrase here: "Worshiping Jesus alongside God the Father".

The Son was from alongside with God (Gk. PARA). The Logos was face to face with God (Gk. PROS).

But what does it mean worshiping Jesus alongside God? Where do you put the 3rd person Holy Spirit? Would the Catholics put, someday, Mary alongside with God the Father, too?

(Note: At me, a trinitarian, it would not mean 'a mighty' god along side 'the Almighty God' as a certain unitarian sect would describe.)

(I'm serious in asking these questions. One of the issue in liturgical practice for the trinitarians.)

Ah, a nice bite-sized topic. After all the book is only about 750 pages...

Do you know if North Park will record the lecture and make it available online?

Same lecture both days? Sounds very interesting. North Park is how far off the Edens?

That was me in number 7 but that "type the text you see" thing didn't like my initial entry. It looks like hogwash with a bunch of lines running through it. Is that really necessary?

Actually, the two lectures are different but they fall under the same umbrella topic. It is good to go to both lectures, but don't worry too much if you can't.
