Atonement
A couple of years ago at this time, I worked through a series of posts on the atonement. I need to probably go back and revisit some of the content for my Second Thoughts series, but first I needed to unify the posts onto a series landing page. So, here are my two year old…

Justification: The Progressive Reformed View
[This is part of the Justification: Five Views mini-series] Over the past few weeks, thanks to IVP Academic, we’ve been journeying through Justification: Five Views. Today is the last formal view, and we’ll wrap up with a summary post next week. Michael F. Bird represents a progressive Reformed view on justification, which he differentiates from a traditional…

Salvation Accomplished By The Son: The Work of Christ
A few weeks back, I told you I was working my way through this book for lent. There I mentioned that Robert Peterson divides his study on the work of Christ into two sections: Events Pictures As Peterson himself says, there is really only one work of Christ, but that work accomplishes our salvation through nine Events:…

The difference…

Justification: The New Perspective on Paul View

A Kony 2012 Response
Two weeks ago, I linked to the Kony 2012 video. It’s gone viral since then (not of course, because I shared it) and the maker of the video made the news for less than exemplary reasons. Today, I wanted to share a response video that is much shorter and cost nothing to make. It’s from New Hope…

Eschatology
While this may look like a new series, it really isn’t. If you’ve been around for less than a year, you probably haven’t seen me post anything about eschatology. Depending on what you think that word means, what follows below may have very little to do with “eschatology.” When it’s construed as end times scenarios,…

Over at Challies blog, he has been offering several high quality graphics to help your visualization skills when it comes to theology. His series, aptly enough, is called visual theology. So far, he’s hit many of the major doctrines, so I thought I’d bring…
