Fistbump Quote of the Day - THEOparadox - The Biblical Paradox Blog: Calvinism, Systematic Theology and Scripture

Accepting Biblical paradox does not harm Systematic Theology; it enhances it. A well-developed Systematic Theology is essential and useful, but Biblical and Exegetical Theology are supreme. You can't have an accurate Systematic Theology if you don't have an in-depth knowledge of the texts themselves. To the extent that any system rejects even one tiny drop of the Bible, it reduces its own validity as a Christian system and partially cripples itself. Let's rather have a system that is hard to explain - yet Biblical to the core - than a system that explains itself by reducing the Word of God to man-made concepts.

Iron Sharpens Iron: David F. Wells: The Courage to be Protestant: Truth-lovers, Marketers, and Emergents in the Postmodern World (Encore Presentation)

I really enjoyed this interview of David F. Wells on Iron Sharpens Iron. The subject is very important. Too often Christians have struggled to remain relevant by compromising on what scripture actually says. This is the fastest way to become irrelevant. This is what Well's book is about.

David F. Wells, Ph.D., the Andrew Mutch Distinguished Professor of Historical and Systematic Theology at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, will address the theme of his book: "The Courage to be Protestant: Truth-lovers, Marketers, and Emergents in the Postmodern World".

Iron Sharpens Iron: Postmillennialism Defended

Last week, the Iron Sharpens Iron broadcast did a series of programs that I have not seen anyone do: each day they had a different eschatological view presented and discussed. I'm planning to post on all of them. This post is about Postmillennialism with John Jefferson Davis, Professor of Systematic Theology and Christian Ethics at Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary
