  • How To Review A Book Triperspectivally

    In addition to providing weekly book reviews, I’ve also had my share of “meta-discussions” on the subject. Sometimes it’s not enough to just review books, we have to also talk about reviewing books and in an inceptionesque sort of way “review the reviewing of books.” So, once upon a time, I explained to you how…

  • Canon Revisited: Establishing The Origins and Authority of The NT Books

    While there are many books out there (and more to be published) that deal with new problems, this book is not one of them. In fact, this book may deal with the oldest problem of all. That issue, “at the very center of how biblical authority is established” is the problem of canon (16). Working…

  • Triperspectival Spiritual Formation

    Over at Provocations and Pantings, Timmy Brister is starting to unpack his vision for gospel-centered spiritual formation. It is also highly triperspectival, which is why I’m sharing it with you here. So far, there’s three posts: Background Triperspectival Framework The Gospel Forms Because it is such a great image that Brister is unpacking, I thought…

  • 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…

  • A Triperspectival Gospel

    [This post is part of the Perspectives on Triperspectivalism series] I’m only a couple of chapters into Peter Jensen’s The Revelation of God, but I’m already noticing triperspectival patterns showing up here and there. In his opening chapter, “The Gospel as Revelation,” he gives three grounds for believing that the gospel is the word of…

  • Warfield and Triperspectival Apologetics

    [This post is part of the Perspectives on Triperspectivalism series] Up until this year, I hadn’t really done any kind of lengthy interaction with B. B. Warfield. As much you can envision such a thing, I’ve metaphorically danced around his ideas (go ahead and picture that) but haven’t really read much of his writings. This…

  • Thesis Published In Antithesis

    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 way of watching movies. You…

  • Reading Scripture Triperspectivally

    [This post is part of the Perspectives on Triperspectivalism series] Working off of the post last Friday mapping out John Frame’s Doctrine of the Knowledge of God, there’s an application we can make to how we read Scripture. The more you understand the triperspectival Framework, the more you see areas where can be applied. The danger…

  • 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.…

  • A Triperspectival Mission of the Church

    [This post is part of the Perspectives on Triperspectivalism series] Over the past several days, several prominent reviewers have turned their eyes to Kevin DeYoung and Greg Gilbert’s What is the Mission of the Church? Ed Stetzer offers a round up some of the criticisms before giving his own take on the book (to which DeYoung and Gilbert…
