Philip Schaff defends Sola Fide from Protestantism’s detractors

Thursday, July 28th, 2005

According to Charles Hodge:
The analysis and exposition which Prof. Schaf gives of this great doctrine of justification by faith alone, is thoroughly evangelical. We commend it to our new school brethren as a mirror in which they may see the true principle of the Reformation, and thence learn how far they have lapsed towards Romanism [...]

Interesting take on relating faith and culture (Mormonism & Video Games) here. Not sure what I think about it.

Needed diagnosis

Saturday, July 23rd, 2005

I actually have substantially different views of Biblical worship from those of Professor John Frame. Nevertheless, I still think this analysis of “traditionalism” is excellent. May it be read as a diagnosis and never become a post-mortem.

Sometimes I wonder…

Friday, July 22nd, 2005

Are we subchristian because we have family devotions rather than family worship?

Emergent Reformed

Tuesday, July 19th, 2005

This entry is quite suggestive.
However, I think he misses something. Or everyone does.
Why haven’t more of the emergent read John Frame’s The Doctrine of the Knowledge of God and Vern Poythress’ Symphonic Theology? These works are rich and deep in Reformed Biblical theology yet also radical and new in their conclusions.
I am thrilled [...]

Back from Juarez

Monday, July 18th, 2005

Back from Juarez but too busy to blog much! (VBS is next week and I am supposed to teach the fourth graders.)
But here’s the song my class sang (with skit I won’t try to describe) for our closing ceremony. What makes it work is the clapping, which I don’t think I can readily [...]

Thank you for your warm welcome and generous hospitality. It is an enormous pleasure for Maggie and myself to be here in Monroe for the first time. I am particularly grateful to those who have worked very hard to set this conference up and make it all happen.

Wright and women’s ordination into the ministry

Tuesday, July 5th, 2005

Here’s an appraisal I received from a correspondent, which I thought was worth passing on:
I just read through N.T. Wright’s paper on women in ministry here:
http://www.fulcrum-anglican.org.uk/docs/2004/20040904wright.cfm
Very disappointing (although I expected to disagree with it knowing Wright’s position).

Busy

Monday, July 4th, 2005

Despite having much to do, I took some time to clean up a couple of Theologia essays: The Covenant of Works, the Mosaic Covenant, & the Necessity of Obedience for Salvation in the Day of Judgment and The Westminster Standards & Sacramental Efficacy.
Both probably need more work. The fact is I find it extremely [...]
