  • Ph.D Studies at @SBTS Start This Fall

    My wife posted the picture last weekend and I did tweet about it, but I wanted to make a formal announcement. After meeting my adviser and talking with the director of doctoral studies, I’m proud to announce I’ll be starting Ph.D studies at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary this fall. I was going to say…

  • Brief Thoughts on A Brief History of Thought: A Philosophical Guide to Living

    Earlier today, I finish reading Luc Ferry’s A Brief History of Thought: A Philosophical Guide to Living. I think I picked it up on Keller’s recommendation. I was looking for a general history of philosophy that was aimed at the popular level. That’s pretty much what this is, but with a twist I didn’t expect.…

  • Augustinian Inerrancy: Literary Meaning, Literal Truth, and Literate Interpreation

    A few things happened yesterday. First, I drove from Orlando to Knoxville. Second, Kevin Vanhoozer was actually at RTS Orlando delivering the annual Kistemaker Lectures. Third, I accidentally auto-posted this installment of the review series with no content other than a book pic and bibliographic info. Today, I’ll actually tell you about Vanhoozer’s entry in Five…

  • Inerrancy Is Not Necessary For Evangelicalism Outside The USA

    Yesterday, we examined Peter Enns view in Five Views on Biblical Inerrancy. Today, we start a new section in the book, although it only includes Michael Bird’s contribution. The section is titled “Inerrancy in International Perspective.” While Bird is international, he is still a white male academic (nothing wrong with that). But he has the added virtue…

  • Inerrancy, However Defined, Does Not Describe What The Bible Does

    The last installment of Five Views on Biblical Inerrancy was Al Mohler’s essay. Mohler represents the traditional view, and presents his case as a historical theologian. Today, we have the complete antithesis to his view in Peter Enns. While the other views in this book more or less support inerrancy, Enns does not. His view…
