One of my favourite philosophers, Inigo Montoya, said to Vizzini '' You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means '' I expect with the upcoming release of the Lloyd Jones documentary there will again be discussions of 'unction' in Preaching. Trying to define unction is...

I profited from Paul Levy's review of Dangerous Calling by Paul Tripp (Carl Trueman today called it a "penetrating review"). In the review Levy makes the following point: "The memorable if somewhat ironic statement 'The bottom line is this: proud people tend to talk about themselves a lot' (p175)...

"Many things which are now seen in the world are rather corruptions of it than any part of its proper furniture. For ever since man declined from his high original, it became necessary that the world should gradually degenerate from its nature." So wrote Calvin in his commentary on Genesis 2, with...

Readers may be interested to hear of a new journal, Unio Cum Christo , an "international journal of Reformed theology and life" (because it's important not to undersell yourself). With quite an array of editors, boarders, and contributors, it looks like a stimulating new venture. You will know many...

"In time," Luther opined, "my books will lie forgotten in the dust." This was no lament on the Reformer's part. In fact, Luther found much "consolation" in the possibility -- or rather likelihood -- that his literary efforts would soon fade into oblivion. The dim view he apparently took of his own...

The sermons found in Scripture are a great study. Peter's sermon on the Day of Pentecost deserves our special attention (Acts 2:14-41). As I have been preaching through this portion of the Bible, I have come to appreciate his message as an excellent prototype for all true biblical preaching...

Christological supralapsarianism can take on a variety of forms. In connection with this doctrine, I would like to address whether the Son would have become incarnate if Adam had not fallen ( Cur Deus homo si Adam non pecasset? ). Reformed theologians have asked what reward Adam would have received...
