Michael Heiser
On the spiritual dimension of reality
I have heard very few of my sources comment on Heiser's work. Statements like "I don't care what tradition says" I'm sure would raise eyebrows among my sources. And I myself do care what tradition says. But the connections Heiser is drawing on the spiritual dimension of reality are making a lot of sense to me. I think the work he's doing on this front needs to be done.

Home...
Right at the heart of the meaning of life, and what the gospel is all about.
​​Here's one angle on it:
​​The central claim of the Christian faith is that the love that fires the sun is our true home... The Christian community at its faithful best embodies love and grace and hope for those dazed and disoriented in a culture of dislocation...

Christians, too, are on a journey. We also yearn for home. But our tale of home-seeking is a story of a sojourning people at home in creation because of a good God who gives them sustenance for the journey and who comes in person to comfort them. The Love that lies waiting for us, to hear Christians tell it, is that fierce Love who fires the sun and that self-emptying Love who pitched his tent among us. Our Redeemer is our Creator. We are not yet at home, and so we, like our forebears, walk by faith and not by sight. But the day is coming when God's glory will fill heaven and earth, when all tears save those of joy will disappear, and when our mourning will turn to dancing. We will experience a heaven-on-earth homecoming of comfort and belonging and delight. Shalom will prevail, and our yearning hearts will find their home in the heart of God.

Paul M. Gould: Cultural Apologetics
What a beautiful surprise. Here's a framework for apologetics that's broad enough to correspond to reality according to the Scriptures–to the gospel as I'm coming to understand it.
