This Guy Gets It
This is one of the better summaries of ch. 2 of RRC I’ve seen so far.
Hyper-Calvinism, Rationalism, and Anti-Predestinarians

You Mean the Bible Isn’t About Me?
Yes, Virginia, there is a unifying story in Scripture, and no, it’s not how you can conquer the Goliaths in your life. The Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, is about Christ. No, it doesn’t flatten out the story. It doesn’t mean that . . . Continue reading →

The Problem of the Minimalist Definition
Yesterday someone sent a link to an essay posted on a seminary website. In the comments that follow I am not speaking to the seminary per se but I do want to challenge the implied premise of the essay. The fundamental question . . . Continue reading →
It's Official: It's the End of the World
Thank (I think) to Daily Scroll. I think Grandma used to say, “there’s no fool like an old fool.”
An Emergent "Translation" of the NT? Yikes!
Thanks to WHI producer extraordinaire Shane Rosenthal for giving us a heads up via email. Who says that the Emergent movement is harmless? If there were any doubts that it’s utterly wedded to religious subjectivism and to the worst strains of pietism, . . . Continue reading →
