Having watched the recent Bill Moyers’ interview with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, I think that I understand the whole situation much better. You can watch the entire interview in two parts online, and I would commend it to you.
There is obviously much for which we should applaud the Rev. Wright. He is [...]

Yes, I’m still here
Posted in Uncategorized on April 19, 2008 | 7 Comments »
I haven’t written much around here lately, so I just wanted to let everyone know that I am still around. My teaching duties at Montreat College, while always a privilege, can become very time-consuming, and those obligations have had to take a priority the last couple of months. This semester I’ve been teaching Biblical Interpretation, [...]

Rich Bledsoe is a retired PCA pastor living in Boulder, Colorado. He’s got quite the fascinating project going on in his life now, as he seeks to revitalize the city by specifically targeting the mainline churches within Boulder. This St. Anne’s Pub interview series is well worth your time and should give you [...]
A Brief Note On “What This Site Stands For”
Posted in catholicity on April 15, 2008 | 4 Comments »
We’ve been having some lively discussion over the past week. There’s clearly been some disagreement, but there’s just as clearly been a desire to hear each other out, even if we may slip into brawling mode from time to time. I think at the end of the day everyone was trying to keep [...]
Thinking Greek With the Apostles
Posted in Philosophical on April 12, 2008 | 51 Comments »
We’ve been talking about “Biblicists” for a while now, and it should be clear that I’m not completely ashamed to wear that hat. However, I did want to address one topic that has often afflicted Biblicists in a very unhelpful way, that of opposing “Hebrew” thought and “Greek” thought. This concept is pretty [...]
Creation and Liturgy
Posted in Biblical Reflections, Liturgical on April 11, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Seeing the foundation of later Biblical theology in the creation account is easier in retrospect. Much like the sixth chapter of John, subsequent revelation causes the unclear to become absolutely clear. Indeed, this is so much the case, that after the larger picture is complete, not recognizing the earlier snapshots becomes a great [...]
Genesis One, Cosmology, and Polemic

One of the things that has come up in Steven’s helpful discussion of the controversial book by Enns is a request for some relevant literature describing the relationship between the creation accounts of Genesis and the those of the Ancient Near East.
Aside from suggestions to peruse the better evangelical (Wenham, Hamilton, Waltke, Blocher) and [...]
Limbus Patrum

Do the Reformed all reject this concept, or did any significant theologians argue to retain it?

Given that we are posting conference info, I wanted to alert friends in and around Boston concerning this conference at the Pappas Patristic Institute of Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology on April 17-19. I will be delivering a paper there so interested parties are invited to meet me for a pint or [...]
Atlantic Theological Conference 2008
Posted in Uncategorized on April 4, 2008 | 7 Comments »
I would like to draw readers’ attention to the upcoming Atlantic Theological Conference, which will be held in Halifax, Nova Scotia, the 24th through the 27th of June. The topic of the conference is Christian Psychology, by which, judging from the titles of the presentations, the organizers primarily seem to mean the classical doctrine of [...]
A Few Concerns with the Application of the Christological Analogy to the Scriptures
Posted in Theological on April 3, 2008 | 38 Comments »
With all of the discussion around Pete Enns, it is very tempting to side with one party or the other based on the larger ethos. “Shall the fundamentalists win?” we hear asked yet again. I am sympathetic to this response, but I would nevertheless like to offer a few reservations that I have [...]
An Encouraging Conversation

I just wanted to make sure everyone knows about the recent Denominational Renewal Conference in the PCA. Be sure to listen to Jeremy Jones’ lecture on Renewing Theology. In it he even uses everyone’s favorite phrase, “Reformed Catholicism.”
