Reformation21

Over at the Wanderer Jeremy Walker is doing a series of posts on the A-Z of books on Pastoral Ministry. Believe it or not Jeremy is only in his 30s, the reason I say that being he's read more books than most of us will in two lifetimes, also his prose at times belies a love for all things Banner of...

Occasionally I have been accused of insensitivity by some of the readers of Reformation 21 and others. I was delighted to read of William Booth the founder of the Salvation Amy who takes it to a whole new level..... ''In any event, he was clearly a man of profound insensitivity. No other assessment...

Again I want to express my thanks to my good friend Sean Lucas for his careful contributions to this important discussion. Before audience fatigue sets in completely I do want to respond briefly to three issues he raises in his most recent post . First, I'm happy to see that Sean and I agree that...

Some recent posts address the important discussion taking place together regarding the relationship of justification to sanctification (see here and here ). This topic is crucial to us getting the gospel right today while avoiding the deadly extremes of antinomianism (a lawless Christianity) and...

I am so thankful that my friend Bill Evans has waded into the important historical and theological conversation on sanctification. There is so much good and right with his piece on "Sanctification and the Nature of the Gospel" that I hesitate to offer a rejoinder to it. After thinking about it over...

In a stimulating piece available on the Christianity Today online site, Jason B. Hood took...
