Is Jesus Christ Really God in the Flesh?
At the center of biblical and systematic theology is the doctrine of Christ. The early church hammered it out with treatises, councils, and creeds. Moderns have hammered it out with philosophical and theological developments. Christology is ever-developing, although one wonders whether any significant alterations to traditional Christology have been made….
Pauline Churches and Diaspora Jews, by John Barclay
John Barclay is Lightfoot Professor of Divinity in the Department of Theology and Religion at Durham University. He recently published the blockbuster Paul and the Gift, probably the most publicized book of 2015. This new book, Pauline Churches and Diaspora Jews, collects essays written by Barclay over the last 20 years….
Important Questions on the Extent of the Atonement
I began researching and writing roughly 10 years ago. The more I read of the modern literature, the more I realized I needed to go back and read the primary sources on this subject, especially from the Reformation to the present. My chapter on the extent question, “The Extent of the Atonement: Limited or Universal?”, which was published in 2010 in Whosoever Will: a Biblical-Theological Critique of Calvinism, became….
Dr. Mark Strauss’s Tips for Using Bible Software
Dr. Mark Strauss is a prolific NT scholar who happens to use Bible software often. We recently wrote about his new book, The Biblical Greek Companion for Bible Software Users, our Book of the Week. It is designed to help those with rusty or non-existent Greek to get the most out of the language tools in their Bible software. We wanted to ask him more about warnings he might give us, tips for using Bible software, and future works we can expect…
A Guide to Use the Greek in Your Bible Software
Most students and pastors nowadays use some sort of Bible software, whether it’s the big 3 (BibleWorks, Accordance, or Logos) or one of the free programs (e-Sword, BibleSoft, WORDSearch, Blue Letter Bible, or an app). Yet, not all students and pastors have taken Greek or retained it. That means all the capabilities in this software to study the NT….
Did Most Reformers Hold to Unlimited Atonement?
In our Book of the Week, David L. Allen’s The Extent of the Atonement, David L. Allen surveys every period of church history to demonstrate the relative popularity of limited and unlimited atonement among various groups. The first part of his book argues that limited atonement did not arise as a formulated doctrine until Theodore Beza….
If Adam Was Historical, What Are the Ramifications of the Fall?
If Adam was historical, what are the ramifications of the Fall? That’s the question of a new collaborative effort from John MacArthur and the Master’s College faculty, edited by Abner Chou….
The Final Word on the Extent of the Atonement?
In 1647, John Owen published what some consider to be his most influential work, The Death of Death in the Death of Christ, which defended the doctrine of limited atonement. Perhaps because of Owen’s work, many have assumed limited atonement to be the default position of most Reformed theologians (that and the well-known recent….
Pad Your E-Library for Cheap: Ministry, Devotional, and Hermeneutics
Here are some books that you should definitely have in your library, at least at this price! Be sure to turn off your Ad-Blocker for our site to see the books below. Carson’s For the Love of God is a well-used devotional text and I’ve only heard great things (I better get it myself now..). The “How to Read” series is especially useful. I used the How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth in seminary (first semester, it’s been so long ago!) and…
