I've been a Christian for 2 years.
I like to read widely and try to work things out for myself, but there is still lots of stuff I don't know.
I like philosophy, in particular Derrida, Nietzsche, Heidegger and Marx.
Theologians I like: Karl Barth, Paul Tillich, Tom Wright, C.S. Lewis.
I hope to learn something by participating on the forum.
I'm a pentecostal and believe in personal experience of God and the power of the Holy Spirit.
welcome to the forum,
bertrandrusselisdead.
Pleased to meet you.
Although I'm not a Christian, I've played one on stage (CS Lewis in Shadolands).
Fascinating man.
Hope you enjoy the forum,

Welcome to the forum.
Hi, welcome to the forum.
Uncle Bert! Noooooooo!
Welcome.
So now I've just noticed I missed the second "l" out of Russell, and that would take my username to 21 letters...
oh well, I'll have to pretend I was referring to a different Bertrand Russel(l).
Incidentally, the Nobel Prize website has the name wrong at the end of their entry about him:
http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/literature/laureates/1950/russell-bio.html
"Bertrand Russel died on February 2, 1970"
