On the Boundary: The Website of Sam Powell

“The boundary is the best place for acquiring knowledge”–Paul Tillich.  Tillich was a theologian who situated himself on several boundaries, especially between philosophy and theology and between church and society. Like Tillich, I’ve found dwelling on the boundary to be fruitful–it’s where honest conversation can happen. For some people these days, boundaries are barriers, but as the theme photo for my site suggests, a boundary can also be a pathway.

This is my site devoted to several projects along with miscellaneous thoughts on diverse subjects. The archive of all posts is here. Thoughts on a book on Scripture that I’m working on will also be collected here. I’m also in the final stages of another project–a novel. “Final stages” means I just need to finish a few small details like final editing, finding an agent, and securing a publisher. Anyway, I’ll be placing thoughts and ideas–character sketches, plot outlines, and so on–here. You can find information about my academic books here and my other life as an amateur musician here. If you find anything interesting in the posts (or anywhere else on the site), please leave a comment.
