On Wives and Soul Patches

I was delighted today to see Bob Brady and congratulate him on his recent nuptials Bob is, of course, the evil organisational genius behind Reformation 21 (our one man equivalent to the Bilderberg Group , for whom myself, Derek and Rodney are mere stooges); yet I was somewhat shocked at the change...

2 Corinthians 6 continues the flood of gospel-saturated exclamations that have been flowing from Paul's pen since chapter 2. Now he reminds his readers that the age of the gospel is here, and, more specifically, that as that gospel lays its claims on each individual, there is no time like the...

Turbulent Priests: Newman versus Kingsley

Carl Trueman
Sep 19, 2010
Last week, we arrived at the point in 1845 when Newman converted to Catholicism. Shortly thereafter, he and his close friend, Ambrose St. John, traveled to Rome to train for the priesthood. St. John was to be Newman's constant companion until the former's death in 1875. Indeed, when Newman himself...

What will they be saying next?

Bob Tarullo has brought to my attention this article which addresses the ambiguity of the reception of Newman in Catholic thought, especially the bizarre claim that he was a liberal. What will they be claiming next? The Meatloaf inspired disco? Or that former editors of the Crisis magazine and...

No, Mr Beck is Part of the Problem

The confusing signals on syncretism coming from World Magazine are, indeed, confusing. While Andree Seu's column (which I linked yesterday) clearly points to Beck as a confused but genuine Christian, Marvin Olasky correctly points out that Beck's theology, or lack thereof, is a huge problem...

One of the common cliches of the modern evangelical church is that the church in the past has been too heavenly minded and we need to focus on creation and claiming it for Christ - whether we conceive of that as art, movies, politics or whatever. As an aside, it always interests me that such people...
