Re-Thinking Christ and Culture
There are a couple of recent competitors to Niebuhr’s classic, Christ and Culture. The WHI guys interviewed the Craig Carter, author of a recent book on this topic. It’s stimulating. Carter is right that Constantinianism (ancient and modern) is borne of an . . . Continue reading →
Nick's Still Reading RRC
And he’s coming under conviction, but not to worry, the busses have left and there’s no altar call here. Click on the book icon (not all icons are bad) to order the book for yourself. Maybe you too will find yourself on . . . Continue reading →
Molly Worthen on Mark Driscoll (and Calvin)
You should probably read Molly Worthen’s essay on Mark Driscoll and Mars Hill (HT: Justin Taylor). I don’t know if she gets Driscoll right. If (that’s a big condition. It means if the condition isn’t met then what follows is irrelevant) what she . . . Continue reading →
Even the NYT Does It!
Yikes! Students, what’s wrong with this headline? “Who Would Jesus Smack Down?” Okay. Pencils down. What’s the correct answer?
Beyond Niebuhr on Christ and Culture
Here’s a review of H. Richard Niebuhr’s classic, Christ and Culture by WSC student. C&C is disappointing. It’s ham-fisted. It lacks historical nuance and it’s missing a crucial category. It’s been enormously influential among evangelicals and mainliners, however, so it’s important to know . . . Continue reading →

What Richard John Neuhaus Means to Me
A number of evangelical and socially conservative blogs and publications are marking the death (not “passing” but that’s another post) yesterday of Richard John Neuhaus at age 72. It is not remarkable that social conservatives are weeping today. After a career as . . . Continue reading →

The Old Perspective on Paul
Most modern NT study of Paul tends to be myopic. The “history of exegesis” tends to go back to the 1970s and occasionally a little farther. This isn’t my assessment, it’s Tom Wright’s. I agree with him. I tried recently to do . . . Continue reading →

Calvin on the Free Offer
Yes, that’s right, Calvin said “offer” (not demand) as in “free” or “well-meant” offer of the gospel. Update 7 Jan 09: For more on this question see ” Janus, the Well-Meant Offer of the Gospel, and Westminster Theology,” in David VanDrunen, ed. The . . . Continue reading →

When Middle Class Evangelicals "Engage" the Culture
