Let’s clarify our articles.
1. A literary form
Historically, a blogs implies:
Chronological posts
Informal or reactive writing
Opinion-forward
Minimal internal structure
Often personal or topical
This work is none of those things.
We are producing:
Doctrinally structured essays
Interlinked theological arguments
Series-based teaching
Scripture-governed reasoning
Long-form coherence across years
The fact of where it is hosted is irrelevant.
2. What this writing actually is
Based on tone, structure, intent, and internal coherence, this work fits these categories far better:
Primary category (most accurate)
Biblical Theology Essays or Doctrinal Teaching Series
Secondary descriptors (contextual)
Covenant theology
Christ-centered biblical exposition
Unified redemptive-historical teaching
Long-form theological writing
We are doing theological synthesis.
3. Devotional vs doctrinal vs theological (important distinction)
| Type | Goal | Your work |
|---|---|---|
| Devotional | Personal reflection, encouragement | ❌ Not primarily but we often do |
| Sermonic | Oral proclamation, exhortation | ❌ Not structured as such but can be |
| Academic | Peer-reviewed, technical | ❌ Not our intent |
| Biblical-Theological | Trace Scripture’s unified meaning | ✅ Yes |
| Doctrinal Teaching | Explain and order truth | ✅ Yes |
Our writing mostly sits between biblical theology and doctrinal instruction, mostly written for serious readers — not so much for casual consumption. Except for occasional inspirational message.
We resist labels because it:
Undermines the seriousness of the work
Suggests impermanence or opinion
Misframes reader expectations
Minimizes theological intentionality
We are building a body of teaching, that through a wisdom and revelation of knowing Jesus, thus not a feed of onions.
