One of the theologians that I "watch" is Dr. Jordan B Cooper
www.jordanbcooper.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQztlwsK5pV45U8vMtfbWjg
I frequent his website. I've simply found him to be insightful and helpful.
There ARE times he goes way over my head and times I don't fully agree, but mostly he helps.
I'll put below one recent video I watched. This one is on Eastern Orthodoxy. There have been a few rather famous Lutherans who have crossed over to Orthodoxy, and I've had some experience with Orthodox brothers and sisters. In my undergrad years, I had a good friend who was very Greek and very Greek Orthodox; she and I had many conversations around the time I was converting from Catholicism to Lutheranism and somewhat after that. I always admired her sense of mystery, the sense of awe, the emphasis on worship, and while she would have directed me to Orthdoxy, she was certainly affirming of my move out of Catholicism to Lutheranism, which she admired at many points. For a brief time, I was active at an Orthodox site (two, actually) and had some good conversations with a couple of priests there. And I so recall being at your popular Greek Festival events at a Greek Orthodox Church and quite by accident had a rather long and very, very pleasent conversation with the priest and his wife - very enlightening and helpful (just wonderful people). Anyway Dr. Cooper addresses the Orthodox perspective a bit in the video below. Just a taste of his stuff. He has MANY videos on MANY topics.
What about YOU? Do you have a theologian on the 'net that has been particularly helpful to you?
