Currently I am reading this book.  I know, its pricey.  Well, you're gunna pay for good scholarship.  And this IS good scholarship!  Dr. Trueman has shown himself to be a top notch historical theologian (although he showed that long ago with his other writings).  Interpreting Owen in his historical context, he shows that the British divine was no ignorant fundamentalist.  Now, many of us who have read Owen before knew this.  But, believe it or not, there is a whole school of scholarship out there which has made its living on painting Owen (and&nb...

This book on Bavinck's writings should be of academic interest to many.  Hopefully this, along with Bavinck's whole Dogmatics now in english, will produce a whole generation of Reformed scholarship among English speakers.

As I resume my marathon (OK, its a very slow marathon . . . with lots of breaks . . .) through The Church Dogmatics, I have come across a very interesting section today.  In II.1 Barth addresses the attributes of God.  He actually uses many traditional catagories; e.g., omniscience, omnipresence, unity, etc.  Well, the section I read today was on the unity of God.  Barth says that the unity of God consists of two things: uniqueness and simplicity.  I believe it is Ron Nash that has said that the doctrine of divine simplicity is having public relations prob...

I was reflecting on 1 Thessalonians 5:12-15 the other day with reference to pastoral ministry.  I think that it says much which is convicting to even the finest of pastors.  It says this:12 We ask you, brothers, to respect those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, 13 and to esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.  14 And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all.  15 See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to...

Below is a post by Andy Webb, pastor of Providence PCA in Fayetteville, NC.  This was a post he placed on the BBWarfield Yahoo discussion group.  It is reproduced here with his gracious permission.  Over the years I've been somewhat distressed to see formerly evangelical institutions and theologians losing their doctrinal moorings and drift into a sea of theological relativity where all that matters is a vague popular devotion to Christ and union with other Christians on the basis of a shared commitment to vaguely defined Christian principles and philosophy. "The Reformation ... [read more]

Above you see Paul Nimmo on the left and Bill Werpehowski on the right during the plenary discussionOn day two of the Barth Conference we were treated to two fine lectures and responses.  The first lecture of the day was given by William Werpehowski of Villanova University and was on just war theory.  A self-professed "Catholic Barthian," Professor Werpehowski set forth Barth's doctrine of just war.  He notes how it appears to some that Barth has fallen away from the pacifistic trend of his theology.  Barth does allow for just war under certain circumstances, ...

Today was the first full day of the 2008 Barth Conference at Princeton Seminary.  The topic this year is Theological Ethics.So far it is all that it is cracked up to be, and more.  Nigel Biggar, of Trinity College in Dublin, opened the day with a lecture on Barth's theological ethic.  Drawing from his work on Barth's ethic, The Hastening That Waits, Biggar emphasized that "prayer precedes ethics."  He asks what is the ultimate good, and concludes that it is what makes humanity to flourish.  This, however, needs to be developed in Barth.  Notable was his cr...

In a recent post on his home blog, Pete Enns had this to say:Frankly, I am bit perplexed, even concerned (theologically), about this criticism. If we understand the word “essential” to mean “a property without which something ceases being what it is,” Christ ceases being who he is if either element is subordinated. It is essential that Jesus of Nazareth, our Savior, be both divine and human. So, too, Scripture is not simply “contingently human”(precisely what that means is not clear to me at any rate) but essentially so, i.e., there is no Scripture apart ... [read more]

Just finished reading the Van Til biography by John Muether.  Not bad at all.  At times I felt like there could have been more, especially color commentary on his everyday life.  The story telling can be choppy at times and you don't always feel like you are in the life of the man.  In this way Muether's biography stands far inferior to those of the great historians of our day such as David McCullough.  Nevertheless, the biography is worth reading - again and again.  Get a copy and then buy two more to give to your pastor and/or your friend.  The benefits ...
