Last week I began a four-part series of observations pertaining to the New Calvinism - Old Calvinism discussion. My first post argued that Old Calvinists should be grateful for and generally happy about the New Calvinism (spurring a back-and-forth between Darryl Hart and me ). This second post will...

I know I've banged on about this before and despite my jokes about FIEC wanting to take over the world, I do like the guys in charge. I think the Directors are doing an excellent job there are some pretty remarkable things happening there. They've recently got ministers in their congregations to...

How much are Logos paying? How on earth did ' Minority Report:Unpopular Thoughts on Everything from Ancient Christianity...

If it's not Carl trying to sell Logos products (surely he's on commission), the triumvirate plugging MoS, and Walker mugging off New Calvinism, Ref 21 is becoming the master of product placement!! Here's some links from the UK to which I have no personal links nor profit from Preaching Matters -...

I don't want to steal Rick Phillips' thunder , and I don't believe I will be trampling over his toes. However, I should also like to pick up on John Piper's lecture at Westminster, but from a different angle. Here are the twelve characteristics of the new Calvinism that Piper identified, as...
