Women: Be Silent So You May Speak?

Tuesday, February 27th, 2007

On the topic of the (seemingly) prohibitve passages in Paul’s letters concerning women in the church, Peter Leithart has dug up an historical context about which I’d never heard before. Interesting….I wonder what research backs it up.

Grace Is Subversive

Monday, February 26th, 2007

Grace is subversive. It undermines the ideals and standards of those of us who can not tolerate weakness in others (or in ourselves). It undermines the pride of those of us who search out every vestige of unbiblical belief and practice. It undermines the presumption of those of us who preach the pure gospel to [...]

An Evening with Mark Strom

Saturday, February 24th, 2007

I am making available my recordings of Mark Strom’s talk and the Q&A that followed at Westminster Theological Seminary this past Thursday evening. A gathering of WTS students, faculty, and alumni had the opportunity to hear the always provocative, never boring, Dr. Strom share a vision for a radically different kind of theological education. Along [...]

Introducing…

The Lord has blessed wtsbooks.com with phenomenal growth over the past few years. This has occurred without any advertising—except our customers telling their friends about us.

One of my favorite WTS-alumni authors, Mark Strom, will be visiting the Westminster Theological Seminary campus tomorrow, February 22. Professor Doug Green has set up an informal talk/lecture by Strom at 4 p.m. in room 2 of Van Til Hall. If there is interest among the participants, a more informal “hang out” time with Dr. [...]

Some Housekeeping

Sunday, February 18th, 2007

Simply FYI: Realizing that all of the blogs in my “WTS Friends” category have either become “Regular Reads” or have gone dead, I eliminated “WTS Friends” and melded the surviving blogs into “Regular Reads” where they rightly belong.
Also, a new addition to my blogroll worth noting: just discovered that Rev. Matthew Buccheri has an active [...]

LOST Flashbacks: A Trip into the Matrix?

Sunday, February 18th, 2007

I haven’t done a LOST post in a long time, but the first two episodes of part two of the current season have really gotten me back into the show. Here’s my latest “crackpot theory”:
The more I think about it, the whole “feel” of Desmond’s flashback/time travel is making me incline more toward the theory [...]

Saturday, February 17th, 2007

In less than a week after we said good-bye to Al Groves, death has come close to us once again. Those of you who know and/or care about my family will want to read Karyn’s latest post.

Covenant, Justification, and Pastoral Ministry: A Review and Critique

Wednesday, February 14th, 2007

The following is a guest post by WTS classmate Stephen Young. His views are his own, but I am happy to provide this forum for his review of Covenant, Justification, and Pastoral Ministry by the faculty of Westminster Seminary, California.
This book breaks down into fourteen chapters plus an appendix of sorts. I have included [...]
