In an article posted today, Al Mohler observes that the battle over the Bible's inerrancy is heating up once again. Since 1995 and the publication of Inspiration and Incarnation by Pete Enns the new battle over inerrancy has moved well within the "big tent" of evangelicalism. Kenton Sparks' book...

Carl Trueman weighs in on some of the recent episodes of seeming self loathing among a few well known leaders in the Reformed community. I have taken the liberty to highlight some portions that I believe are particularly important. Over the last decade, it has become something of a commonplace in...

One of the things I want to do with this blog is provide excellent resources for the Christian lay person. Take time to peruse the "Biblical Studies/Theology" and "Audio" sections of this blog. Some of the newer links in this section are: Ligonier Collections Reclaiming the Mind Theological FAQs...

It feels a bit hopeless at times. We are, in the words of one commentator, a "70/30 country." That is, we are a country where the majority of citizens (70%) are being ruled by an ideological minority (30%). These ruling elites mock, among other things, biblical sexual ethics. The most recent and...

Republocrat

Aug 11, 2010
One of the reasons I like hanging out with Carl Trueman is that he seems to have a reckless disregard for his reputation. What I mean is that he cares more about being truthful than he does about being liked. I'm looking forward to the release of Carl's latest book, Republocrat: Confessions of a...

Randy Alcorn is one of the most articulate pro-lifers I know of. He is also a man who has paid a high price (literally) for his commitment to the weakest, most vulnerable members of the human family. In an interview with Alcorn, Mark Driscoll asks if evangelical pro-lifers are inconsistent in...

Michael Dowd is an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ and a graduate of Palmer Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. He is also enthusiastic about the rise of the new atheists. A self-proclaimed "evangelist" for evolution, Rev. Dowd's words seem eerily similar to some of the postings...
