The Love of Wisdom, by Steven B. Cowan and James S. Spiegel
When I was in college at the University of Arkansas, Steve Cowan was there doing his Ph.D. in Philosophy. I came to know him through various contacts in Christian circles there, and we’ve stayed in touch as we’ve seen each other at ETS meetings and such. I’m thrilled to say a hearty congratulations to him …

Denny Burk has all the details on and his reaction to yesterday’s forum. I would encourage you to read his opening statement, and I am in agreement with his assessment of the conversation.

“Arise, O Star” at Songs of Southern Friday Night
Last summer I posted the lyrics to “Arise, O Star,” which is my attempt to put the Messiah in the Old Testament to music. This spring there was an invitation here at SBTS for folks to submit songs they had written, so I turned this one in along with another (an attempt to put the …

The audio is up here: Revelation 1:9–20, Jesus Christ Risen and Glorious. In a bulletin insert there were three charts that might be helpful in studying this passage: I think I failed to …

Schreiner, Seifrid, and Vickers to Discuss Wright’s Response to Piper
Denny Burk has the details on a conversation that he’ll moderate on Wednesday, April 15 at SBTS. This should be a fascinating conversation, and if you have a particular question Prof. Burk is offering the opportunity to pose it in his comments section.

Two Months of Sundays at Kenwood Baptist Church
In God’s mercy and kindness I have been called as the (bi-vocational) preaching pastor at Kenwood Baptist Church here in Louisville. As noted earlier, I’m thinking a lot about the book of Revelation these days, which influences the selection of the sermon series I’ll begin, Lord willing, on Sunday. Below is what can be expected …

Logos Scholar’s Gold
I have recently come into possession of the resource rich Logos Gold. As I prepare to travel this weekend, I’m installing the software on my laptop.

Greg Wills on “Southern Seminary, Southern Baptists, and the Two Religions”
Dr. Greg Wills gave his Faculty Address here at SBTS last week, and it was a fascinating analysis of the “realist” policy pursued by liberals who knew they had to hide what they really thought from the people in the churches who funded their livelihoods. So, those liberals happily took money given to train pastors, …

Dumisani Theological Institute in South Africa is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. I only know of this school because of my friend Alistair Wilson, who teaches there.
