I'm Thankful For The Writers' Strike
Since I discovered how to subscribe to podcasts tons of stuff has been piling up on my iPod. As you probably have discovered by now, time is a zero-sum-game. If I’m watching the stupid and stupefying television (Newton Minnow was never more . . . Continue reading →
FV 2000: "We'll submit to the Church" FV 2008: "The church is a gaggle of fools"
Andy Webb documents it at the PB.
Q. 10 (Pt 3) Why Do We Have Such a Hard Time with Hell?
10. Will God suffer such disobedience and apostasy to go unpunished? By no means,1 but He is terribly displeased with our inborn as well as our actual sins, and will punish them in just judgment in time and eternity, as He has . . . Continue reading →

New Theological Journal Online
American Theological Inquiry. It’s free. It’s ecumenical. It’s electronic (PDF). Volume 1, no. 1 features: Thomas Weinandy, John Cooper, and our own D. G. Hart among others for starters. Thanks to Ben Myers at Faith and Theology for the heads up.
Trueman on Christ
Thanks to JT.
Helm v Enns
Interesting and important stuff at Helm’s Deep.
The Rod and the (Bruised) Reed
Thanks to Kim at the RB for this link. We may be crafty sacramentarians (not!) but we love our gospel-preaching confessional Lutherans.
Reeves Responds to Clark
Russ Reeves of Tolle Blogge (and Providence Christian College) wrote such a thoughtful response to the “Natural is Not Neutral” post that it shoudn’t be buried in the comments.
Corrections to the Battles' Edition of the Institutes
This is a fascinating development. David F. Wright, Professor of Patristic and Reformed Christianity (emeritus) from Edinburgh University, and Dr. Jon Balserak, research fellow in theology at University of Birmingham, are considering a revision of the Battles edition of Calvin’s Institutes. On . . . Continue reading →
Natural is Not Neutral
Russ Reeves at Tolle Blogge (another great blog name!) makes some thoughtful comments on my “Christ is Lord of All But…” post. I agree with him that it may be that we agree more than it seems, but he raises a few . . . Continue reading →
Saturdays Are for Seminary
With apologies to Scot McKnight (Fridays are for Friends – but what good is the web if I can’t blatantly rip off a good idea and pretend it’s mine?) I thought perhaps I could bring some order to the chaos that has . . . Continue reading →
Would the Son Have Become Incarnate Even without the Fall?
Most of the church has said “No,” but apparently Scotus is finding a new audience.
Christ is Lord of All But…
The question of thinking like a Christian is an important topic and one close to my heart. We discuss this very question each fall in the Historical Theology orientation course. We read and discuss a roundtable discussion published some years ago in . . . Continue reading →
Redeeming Culture?
Tullian raises the question of “redeeming” culture.
Godfrey's Dream
He’s still having it and it’s a good one (HT: Brokenwills)
Reno on Harvard
Rusty Reno is a terrific writer who teaches theology at Creighton University (where I spent many an hour playing ball up on “the hill” in the old gym — where Paul Silas once plied his trade!). As we have come to expect, . . . Continue reading →
Now It All Begins to Make Sense
Thanks to faithful reader Paul Grace who alerted me to Carl Trueman’s secret life! So many things begin to make sense now. It’s time again for the annual “Stella Awards”! For those unfamilia with these awards, they are named after 81-year-old Stella . . . Continue reading →
Black, White, and Reformed (2)
The discussion continues over the first post, but this comment from Lawrence prompts further thoughts:
