At first I was a little apprehensive because I was afraid that it would be too much like Fifty Shades and while there were similarities between the two (i.e. Bared To You was the second erotic romance novel that I read and technically, I didn’t physically read the book, I actually listened to the audiobook.

Mikhaíl Afanasyevich Bulgakov (Russian: Михаил Афанасьевич Булгаков) was the first of six children in the family of a theology professor. Fame, at home and abroad, was not to come until a quarter of a century after his death in Moscow in 1940. He also wrote a brilliant biography, highly original in form, of his literary hero, Molière, but The Master and Margarita, a fantasy novel about the devil and his henchmen set in modern Moscow, is generally considered his masterpiece. His later works treat the subject of the artist and the tyrant under the guise of historical characters, with plays such as Molière, staged in 1936, Don Quixote, staged in 1940, and Pushkin, staged in 1943. His sympathetic portrayal of White characters in his stories, in the plays The Days of the Turbins (The White Guard), which enjoyed great success at the Moscow Art Theatre in 1926, and Flight (1927), and his satirical treatment of the officials of the New Economic Plan, led to growing criticism, which became violent after the play The Purple Island.

When we teach and write about theology, we know next to nothing regarding the topic about which we speak, but we speak about it as if we know everything. Let us remember how ludicrous our carefully packaged systems of theology really are. Then let us all start laughing more, and not just laughing, but laughing at ourselves. Then, let someone stand up and tell us a joke. Let us loosen our ties and untuck our shirts. Let us all sit down and take a deep breath. So let all the shouting, yelling, and finger pointing cease. ![]() Seriously though, we theologians often take ourselves way too seriously.īut if historical theology and church tradition teach us anything at all, it is that many of the ideas we have held to most dearly have been the same ideas that have cost the church and the world most dearly. ![]() I mean, don’t these guys look like a barrel of laughs? ![]() But I am beginning to think theology is not so much a science as it is a form of entertainment.
