Wince+Sing
“on an age-old anvil wince and sing”
-Gerard Manley Hopkins
Wince+Sing is the official blog of Greystone Theological Institute. W+S provides biblical and theological resources for Christian scholarship, education, and devotion—all from a perspective consonant with and expressive of a comprehensive catholic and deeply Reformed, confessional Christian faith.
Figural Reading and the Violence of God

The answer lies, as many answers often do, with the way in which our Triune God has providentially ordered creation and His own acts within it.
