With Both Guns Blazing

I enjoy Douglas Wilson’s blog, and in this recent stroll through one of James Davison Hunter’s chapters, Wilson recounts an anecdote involving Robert P. George: So is not as though Christians could just stroll into the important cultural centers, or walk in unimpeded provided they were willing to do the work. At a dinner we …

Interview with Tom Nettles on His Biography of James P. Boyce

Professor Thomas J. Nettles is one of my favorite historians. It was a joy to audit a course he taught on Baptist history, and I profit much from his writings. Last summer he published a biography of James Petigru Boyce, founder of Southern Seminary, where it is our privilege to teach. If you haven’t already …

Lillback Lecture on George Washington

I’m eager to read or listen to Peter Lillback’s new book, George Washington’s Sacred Fire, but until someone gets it for me from my wishlist (not so subtle hint!), my next move is going to be to listen to this free lecture touted by Doug Wilson. Peter A. Lillback is the President of Westminster Theological …

They Arrested My Brother

This is a true story. That is, this is no foray into fiction. Little boys and girls were being killed inside. The victims of these murders are no less human because of their size; no less human because of their age; and no less human because of their environment. The little boys and girls were …

So Are You Ready to Go to Jail?

That’s what my sweet wife said to me yesterday morning: “So are you ready to go to jail?” I haven’t done anything illegal, but the meaning of the word “illegal” seems to be shifting. The question was prompted by my sending her Dr. Mohler’s post on the preacher arrested in Britain for saying that homosexuality …

Interview with Jonathan Leeman on The Church and the Surprising Offense of God’s Love

Tim Keller on the Multi-Site Model

I appreciate this from Tim Keller: 1. First, we sent our services out into different locations so that people could worship closer to where they lived. People can become more deeply involved in the community and can more easily bring friends if they attend services in their neighborhood. This was an ‘anti-mega-church’ move, since huge …

The Orthodoxy of the Text of the New Testament Audio

The audio from the Pros Apologian lecture I gave yesterday is here: “The Orthodoxy of the Text of the New Testament: Reasserting the Obvious.” Here’s an abstract of my presentation: The first chapter of Bart Ehrman’s book The Orthodox Corruption of Scripture suggests that our understanding of early Christianity needs to be radically revised, but …

Dr. Mohler’s Typological Interpretation of the SBC in the 20th Century

This morning at SBTS Dr. Mohler gave a riveting presentation on the Future of the Southern Baptist Convention. The focus of the presentation was on how we got to be where we are now, and then Dr. Mohler gave a brief prescription for what needs to happen. Dr. Mohler didn’t use the phrase “typological interpretation” …

Are Liberal Politicians/Judges Like Liberal Theologians?

That’s a genuine question in the title to this post, and I have my suspicions about the answer. Here’s what prompts the question: Justin Taylor posts some things said by Sonia Sotomayor that sound very, very conservative. The quotes in his post look like she is saying exactly what conservatives would want her to say, …

Do Government Handouts Breed Immorality?

In both cases, I was speaking with unmarried people. In both cases these unmarried people were living with a person of the …

Justin Taylor Diavlogs with Russell Moore on Adopted for Life

I’m fans of both Justin Taylor and Russell D. Moore, and this is really cool. These guys must be on Macs or something. They have recorded a conversation on Dr. Moore’s new book Adopted for Life. Aside from the coolness factor of this video, I can’t speak highly enough of this remarkable book. Theological precision. …
