Saturday And The Silence Of The Lamb
During this season, which many Christians call “Holy Week,” I am perversely drawn to Saturday. Perhaps it is because the Saturday between “Good” Friday and Resurrection Day is, for others a sort of relief. For them it is a day off from . . . Continue reading →

Out Now: Riddlebarger on 1 Corinthians
Is the Gospel Preached or Lived?
An HB Classic

Seminary Saturday: Meredith Kline Audio
My two Old Testament professors were both named Meredith Kline. The late Meredith G. Kline taught Pentateuch and Prophets. His son, Meredith M. Kline taught us Hebrew, historical books, and the Wisdom Literature. Now you can here both Merediths for yourself. These . . . Continue reading →
