What Is the Goal of Biblical Theology?

From the interview on the CBD Academic Blog: I think that our goal should be to understand and embrace the perspective reflected by the biblical authors. Our goal is not to read and evaluate the Bible according to the standards of our culture, but to seek to understand the Bible so that we can read …

Troglodytes Can’t Produce Stunning Artistry

Why I’m confident in the Bible (from the interview on the CBD Academic Blog): I think that the Bible itself claims to be totally true and trustworthy, and that we would need far more information than we will ever have to overturn its claims or show its falsehood. Therefore, I want to approach the Bible …

Defining Marriage

Robert P. George, Sherif Girgis, and Ryan T. Anderson move toward a profound definition of marriage in their article, “The Argument Against Gay Marriage: And Why It Doesn’t Fail.” Choice quotations: “In making our case for conjugal marriage, we consider the nature of human embodiedness; how this makes comprehensive interpersonal union sealed in conjugal acts …

Thinking Clearly about Marriage

Robert P. George, Sherif Girgis, and Ryan T. Anderson expose sloppy thinking in their article, “The Argument Against Gay Marriage: And Why It Doesn’t Fail.” Some highlights: “Professor Yoshino’s response is long on rhetoric designed to stigmatize a position he opposes, and short on arguments that might actually cast doubt on its soundness.” . . …

Christianity Today’s Piece on Dr. Mohler: Not Liberal Enough

Carl F. H. Henry was instrumental in the start of Christianity Today, and now the magazine has published a cover story on a major proponent of that theological heritage. Molly Worthen’s “The Reformer” deals with R. Albert Mohler Jr., who perhaps more than anyone else today carries the Henry torch. It’s clear from the piece …

Brad Green on What Kenneth Starr Faces at Baylor

Justin Taylor recently noted: Brad Green has a very informative essay in Touchstone Magazine about Starr, the future of Baylor, and the trajectory of Christian higher education. Here’s a snippet: Sloan voluntarily resigned in 2005, served as chancellor for a brief time, and then left Baylor to become president of Houston Baptist University in 2006. After he …
