Dr. Steve Jeffrey has written a guest post over at Kuyperian Commentary entitled, “A Biblical Case for Classical Education.” Here he addresses certain misunderstandings concerning classical Christian education—misunderstandings that usually come from Christians themselves. For example, many Christians struggle to see the value of an education model that comes from the so-called “Dark Ages”—a period of history […]

At Reformation 21, New Testament scholar Simon Gathercole has written a review of N.T. Wright’s massive new volume, Paul and the Faithfulness of God (Fortress, 2013). Considering that the book itself is about 1,600 pages, Gathercole has done a remarkable job of distilling Wright’s main ideas in relatively little space. Gathercole says that the main thesis of PFG is: […]

I’ve been thinking a lot about repentance these days. I question the seasons I encounter as my life changes. Sometimes my repentance comes daily, other times the weeks go by so fast I find myself in the pew again on Sunday morning beginning our corporate time of worship, “Okay, Lord, seven days just flew by!” […]

On his blog The Ecclesial Calvinist, Dr. Bill Evans of Erskine College has just posted a statement issued by the session of New Life Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Glenside, Pennsylvania, unanimously affirming the confessional orthodoxy of one of its Ruling Elders, Dr. Doug Green (the statement is also available on New Life’s website).

As has been reported by Christianity Today, the terrorist group ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) has issued an ultimatum to the Christian residents of the Northern Iraqi city of Mosul: convert to Islam, pay the jizya (tax on non-Muslims), or face the sword. The tax is too much for many of these believers to afford, […]

Jon Payne has now written his second post on sanctification and the Heidelberg Catechism (HC) at Reformation 21. In his first post (to which I responded here), he discussed the variety of motivations for Christian obedience, which extend beyond mere gratitude for our justification (as important as that is). Now, he takes up the subjects of […]

Shane Lems has written this book review on The Reformed Reader (HT: The Aquila Report). The book happens to be authored by a close friend of mine, Josh Kelley, who pastored the church I attended while living in Mt. Vernon, Washington (my hometown). As a matter of fact, I had the privilege of helping Josh with the editorial process for this book. […]

Over at Old Life, D.G. Hart has written this piece on the recently published book Merit and Moses by Andrew Elam, Robert Van Kooten, and Randall Bergquist (Wipf & Stock, 2014). As the subtitle indicates, the book is a critique of a relatively obscure and ambiguous doctrine known as “republication.” This doctrine has been around in some form or […]
