Creation and providence happen first. God is not breaking into anything alien to himself in the incarnation. He is not uniting himself to stuff he “finds.” He started history and has controlled history all along the way.
That’s why revelation is never derivative. Every concept, every word, is a concept or word […]

Here’s a possible application of James 1.20: Having prominant pastors on the radio sounding like they could work for the FoxNews network does not accomplish the righteosness of God.

We could use this for our new annual celebration: “Post-Reformation Day” or in slang, “Day of the Doctors.”

How beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of him who brings good news,
who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness,
who publishes salvation,
who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.”
Thus spake God through Isaiah (52.7). But let’s improve this translation:
How beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of him who brings the Gospel,
who publishes peace, who […]

OK, I just assumed this was a hardware problem and was going to either live with it or see if having my iMac under a year gives me any breaks…. But I tried something different and, for once, got an error message:
Burning the disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed. (Eror code […]

More from Tyacke’s Anti-Calvinists:
That Calvinism was the de facto religion of the Church of England under Queen Elizabeth and King James may surprise those brought up to regard Calvinists and Puritans as one and the same. Such an identification, however, witnesses to the posthumous success of the Arminians in blackening the reputation of the […]

Got up at six this morning and left before seven to go fill the pulpit for a church a couple of hours away. I had my clothes laid out: I had already showered; I had my sermon script to read through if I got there early; I had my notes for teaching Sunday school, […]

In his Byzantine Gospel, Aidan Nichols reviews, as his subtitle states, “Maximus the Confessor in Modern Scholarship.” He begins by dealing with background and refers first to J. M. Hussey’sThe Orthodox Church in the Byzantine Empire to ask “When did Byzanium begin?” (p. 1). Hussey argues for the 7th century. Nichols lists […]
