The journal’s website is here, and you can read …

The Future of Justification: John Piper’s Response to N. T. Wright
N. T. Wright is perhaps the most influential clergyman in the United Kingdom, and John Piper is perhaps even more influential here in the United States. And the two have crossed swords. This might be the most significant pastoral interchange of our time. In the Acknowledgments Piper relates that he sent the first draft of …

It finally made it across the Atlantic. Some time back there was, in Jonathan Leeman’s phrase, “quite a hullabaloo over the gospel.” That hullabaloo was largely occasioned by N. T. Wright’s response to Pierced for Our Transgressions, which has finally made it across the water and is now available from Crossway Books. N. T. Wright …
Forum on the Local Church
What if you could sit down and pose key questions on the church to Drs. Russell D. Moore, Donald Whitney, Gregory A. Wills, and Jim Orrick? Most of us don’t have access to these guys, and even if we did, it would be difficult to get them all in the same room at the same …

The Seed of the Woman and the Blessing of Abraham
In March of 2006 I presented a paper titled “The Seed of the Woman and the Blessing of Abraham” at the Southwest Regional Meeting of the Institute for Biblical Research, which was held in Dallas, TX.
