I am so incredibly thankful for @justinholcomb posting this on The Resurgence. If you are interested in a better understanding of faith, logic, worldviews and reasoning then you need to listen to this debate. This is the very debate that sparked an interest in apologetics and ethics in me. This will also come in very [ READ MORE ]
I was present when Doug Moo reviewed this book at ETS in 2009, and if my memory serves me correctly Moo was filling in for someone… just can’t remember who: It was a notable moment at ETS that year and though I do respect Moo’s thoughts, click here to read the review that Andy posted.

Chances are if you are reading this blog you’ve already seen this post by JT, but in case you whizzed by it in your reader I’ll draw your attention to it again. Here is JT’s post on John Frame’s thoughts, and I concur (for the free e-book skip to the bottom): John Frame says that [ READ MORE ]
For God, Christ’s satisfaction opens the way–without violating his rights–to forgive sins out of grace and so to justify the ungodly. If sin is of such a nature that “right” and righteousness, law and truth, do not suffer the least damage even when sin is not punished, then neither does the grace of forgiveness amount [ READ MORE ]
This totally made my day, thanks Jim! John Frame’s book, “Evangelical Reunion” has been a hard to find book in physical hard copy at one time. Then he allowed it to be free online through his website, but it was in Html format. Now he has it in PDF form! CLICK HERE FOR YOUR COPY! [ READ MORE ]
From my pal Jim, some “must haves”: 1.) God Is: How Christianity Explains Everything For a sample of how Presuppositional Apologetics is applied, friendly read for the general reading audience. 2.) The Defense of the Faith Some Presuppositionalists I know have heard and read more from Van Til’s student’s exposition on apologetics than directly from [ READ MORE ]

I remember first realizing this in a systematics class and it blew my mind away. Here’s what Sproul has to say: It is common to say that hell is the absence of God. Such statements are motivated in large part by the dread of even contemplating what hell is like. We try often to soften [ READ MORE ]

Thanks to Brian from Apologetics315 for this great find! This found at the Gospel Coalition blog: D.A. Carson’s “The God Who Is There” series simultaneously evangelizes non-Christians and edifies Christians by explaining the Bible’s storyline in a non-reductionistic way. The series is geared toward “seekers” and articulates Christianity in a way that causes hearers either to [ READ MORE ]
From an interview with Vern Poythress: Different people have had different conceptions of both biblical theology and systematic theology, so it is wise to ask what people mean in both areas, as well as to look at the relation between the two areas. I would myself describe systematic theology as study of the Bible’s teaching in [ READ MORE ]
This will be the closing piece to his essential Lordship theology series, and a volume that I cannot wait to get my hands on.

Thanks to Ben Terry for his helpfully insightful post: Edwards identifies six points of how God does exercise His sovereignty in our salvation: 1.
