Comment on Notes on the Creation Stories by Tim Enloe

Tim Enloe — Sat, 18 May 2013 15:48:12 +0000

Hey, Paul…good to see you blogging again. I’m going to try to keep up with your stuff on Genesis, as I’m currently reading some materials on both Genesis itself and its ANE background as preparation for a Humanities course I’m teaching this coming school year. I’m continually astonished as I read Genesis outside of the overcharged polemics of the creation wars, at how deep and how subtle the book actually is. The creation wars seem increasingly to me to be a form of domesticating the text, forcing it to say a very limited number of things that I will not say are simply unreasonable on their face, but are at least highly obscurantizing of the bigger wisdom picture it seems Genesis wants to teach. Thanks for this post on differences between 1 and 2. Very interesting!

There is such a resolution, and it should bear fruit soon! SW and I have both been overwhelmed with other matters, and though his technical skills are greater than mine, neither of us is a computer wizard.

What looks to be the case now is that we will run it as a blog and ressourcement page, and do the journal something like biannually.

Comment on In Defense of Westminster Seminary, with Appreciation for Pete Enns by Charlie J. Ray

Charlie J. Ray — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 19:20:53 +0000

If Princeton is any indication being “confessional” is no guarantee that a seminary will not go liberal. Other indications of this are Calvin Theological Seminary, of the Dutch Reformed tradition, and Fuller Theological Seminary. Both of the latter seminaries are clearly headed toward liberalism if they are not already there.

I earned my M.Div. from Asbury Theological Seminary in the Wesleyan tradition. Ironically I became a Calvinist while a student at Asbury. Asbury claims to be Evangelical but its theological positions are increasingly on the neo-orthodox or liberal side of things. Asbury as well seems to be headed toward liberalism.

If Westminster Theological Seminary can manage not to in that direction, more power to them. However, I don’t think Peter Enns is the only closet liberal at WTS. There are others who place more emphasis on higher criticism than on defending the confessional faith and the Holy Scriptures. Whatever happened to the fundamentalism of J. Gresham Machen??????

I’ve been wondering about that myself.

Is there a New Years’ resolution to get this blog back up and running?

Durrell,

Thanks for the comment. As you can tell, things have been extremely slow around here lately. Hopefully after the new year we’ll be able to pick the discussion up again.

BTW sorry I am so late to the discussion, viewing the last post’s date after I sent my comment in. Er…sorry.

Greetings to all.
I have a hard time considering theologians apart and not subordinate and in service to the Church. The Church is served and tended to by its members. The members are to look to the edifying and upbuilding of the Church. The way the Scriptures speak of pastors, teachers, etc. is to build up the Church. Theologians aren’t to be wandering the country side doing whatever their hearts desire. They’re to be looking out for (as all Church members) the interests of their brethren.
By the way Jonathan interesting discussion.

Tim Enloe,

I thought it was a safe assumption based on the title of your post. Sorry if I offended you. I’ll change my post to reflect your concern.

Comment on Random Thoughts about Semantics and Theological Self-Definition by gentleexit

Re Garrett’s comment – no contemporary called Athanasius “the black dwarf”. The label only became his in 1984. I’ve chronicled the mistake here: http://www.conorpdowling.com/803/chasing-the-black-dwarf
