Postcards from Palookaville

Phil Johnson has a great post on the trend in evangelical exhibitionism here . The last paragraphs are particularly pertinent: It's yet another sign of evangelicalism's growing conformity to worldly values and worldly behavior. The various evangelical coalitions and young Reformed movements that...

From JIP's Collected Shorter Writings 4, pp. 84 and 87: "In some way there was in the Doctor's preaching thunder and lightning that no tape or transcription ever did or could capture -- power, I mean, to mediate a realisation of God's presence....

I notice that the Met Tab not only stocks no Trueman tosh but also lacks the `Je ne sais quoi' which a volume or two by Derek Thomas always provides: surely one of his many, many books on Job would be a nice addition?

I wonder if there is a more neglected text in the New Testament in the current revival of interest in reformed theology than Eph. 5:12? In the reaction to the taboos of old-style fundamentalism, there is surely a danger that we have lost all sense of what is biblically appropriate when it comes to...
