Building a new city in the midst of the old city, one syllable at a time by writing, editing, rapping, praying, and that sort of thing.

Wittenberg Hall was the blog that never wanted to be a blog. I saw it more as a theological webzine - sort of a reimagined RazorMouth 2.0. Really, it was a family of sites that covered beer, education, eschatology, theology, culture, and more. Inspired by Martin Luther, my intention was to have a historically ecumenical blog that highlighted thoughtful Christian thinking from a number of perspectives. I saw Wittenberg as an excellent bridge - for Catholics, Orthodox, and Protestants alike.
I ran the site with a little help from friends. Our contributors were eclectic, and included Orthodox, Anglican, and Reformed men, including Dr. Thomas Askew, Fr. Stephen Freeman, Dr. George Grant, Eric Holmberg, Bishop Lucien Lindsey, Rev. Steve Schlissel, Dr. R.C. Sproul Jr., and Rev. Dr. Peter Toon. Occasionally, Robbie Grayson, Gary DeMar, David Bunker, P. Andrew Sandlin, and Alison Sailer offered their expertise. For a time, we partnered with my friend Gregg Strawbridge’s WordMp3.com and offered free downloads of lectures and sermons from various Christian thinkers.
It was plenty fun. I ran the main site from 2005 - 2011, but posting was somewhat irregular beginning in 2009 or so. Ultimately, my move to Hawaii, and then my conversion to Orthodox Christianity, led to the site going dormant. I’m pulling the site soon, but I’ll hang onto the domains for a while.
