Homiletic & Pastoral Review is a nice source which will be more accessible than academic journals.

No offense, but folks on CF need something milder than academic journals. What is the middle-ground between punditry and academic journals? HPR, America Magazine, Jimmy Akin, Larry Chapp, etc. It is also good to find academics who dip into more popular writing, such as John Bergsma. There are the academic bloggers like Ed Feser or Scott Smith. An excellent resource for quasi-academic articles and excerpts is Notre Dame's Church Life Journal. There are also gem archive sites like this one.

But probably the best thing for someone who is not ready for academic journals is books. The whole mission of something like Ignatius Press is to bring theological sources to a broader audience. Theologians' books are more accessible than their journal articles, and those like Joseph Ratzinger or Thomas Joseph White write in a remarkably accessible manner. Books are also going to tend to be less cutting-edge and more long-lasting. Journal articles are a testing ground for ideas and theses, directed primarily towards professionals who are able to sift the wheat from the chaff.

This also strikes me as a good intermediate, accessible, orthodox, and stable source for theology.

No offense,

None taken. When I share this stuff with friends they are like,

And I find some of it over my head and yet still challenging my intellect and my understanding of who Christ is and what it is all about.
I come across things that never would have occurred to me on my own yet worth considering. I am loving the "dangerous memory of Jesus".

"In the phrase made popular in theological circles by Johannes Baptist Metz, the story of Jesus’ passion and death constitutes a “dangerous memory.” His memory confronts us with the terrible realities of misunderstanding, injustice and innocent suffering. And his memory places before us the surprising possibility that God can and does accomplish great things even in the midst of terrible sufferings. Holy Week helps us keep Jesus’ memory alive."

The Dangerous Memory of Jesus

The narrative of Jesus rsquo suffering and death is an important part of our collective memory as Christians For almost 2 000 years Christians have gathered at this time of year to retell the story of Jesus rsquo passion It is not the story of a mythical or fictional character Rather it is the
