  • What Am I Reading For Lent?

    The short answer is that I’m aiming to finish Robert Peterson’s Salvation Accomplished By The Son: The Work Of Christ. I’ll have a more extensive review when I’m done, but in the meantime, here’s a short overview. Peterson divides his study into two sections: Events Pictures Overall though, the whole book is really about the…

  • A Triperspectival Justification

    [This post is part of the Perspectives on Triperspectivalism series] Last week, I noted how Peter Jensen presents a triperpsectival gospel in The Revelation of God. I thought I’d extend that a little by showing how that applies to justification. Consider this a kind of introductory thesis to “frame” (you should see this as a…

  • Weekly Recap: 2.11.12

    My Posts From This Week Thesis Published The first part of my thesis was published by In Antithesis which is ”an online journal focused on the Presuppositional/Covenantal variety of apologetic methodology.” My thesis is titled Hollywood, Geneva, and Athens: A Reformed Philosophy of Film. I use Calvin’s aesthetics, Van Til’s apologetics, and Frame’s triperspectivalism to sketch out a…

  • Book of the Month: The Revelation of God

    As I mentioned in the reading schedule, there will often be a book of the month. I might read it in the course of a week, or I might spread it out over the whole month. Just depends on how life goes. This month, I’m turning the corner from a metaphysical/scientific focus to a focus…

    I’m trying this out on the blog this month, let me know if you like it! My Posts From This Week Book of the Week: Where the Conflict Really Lies Because of my overall research focus this month (science/metaphysics), this is a great way to cap the month off.

  • The Evolution of Adam: A Review

    Yesterday, I offered you some important preliminaries, so today we’ll dive into an actual review of The Evolution of Adam. Peter Enns considers his primary audience to be first Christians, and second people who think evolution needs to be taken seriously. Because of that, his aim “is to speak to those who feel that a synthesis between a…

  • God With Us: Divine Condescension and The Attributes of God

    If you’re looking to do some heavy lifting this year in your personal reading, this book might be a great place to start. I was actually surprised and the density of God With Us, but then again I should have been surprised since it’s written by K. Scott Oliphint. It’s heavy plodding pretty much all…

  • A Triperspectival Map of DKG

    [This post is part of the Perspectives on Triperspectivalism series] As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, we’re reading through John Frame’s Doctrine of the Knowledge of God (DKG) in the reading for The Marturo Collective. We’re reading through chapters 2 and 3 this week, and it’s at that point that Frame first introduces his notion of perspectivalism.…

  • Footnotes to The Drama

    As it is often remarked, the history of western philosophy of more or less a series of footnotes to Plato. Alfred North Whitehead originally voiced this sentiment (“The safest general characterization of  the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato”), but others have quoted him in agreement, and…
