Reformation21

On my visit to Wheaton College for homecoming this past week, I saw notice of Carl Trueman's participation in the upcoming conference Reading the Decalogue through the Centuries (November 6-7). Doubtless Carl is contributing in the area of the Reformation, but perhaps he could let us know the exact...

I'm not sure we need this . The official website is here . The features: "Green-Letter Edition: verses and passages that speak to God's care for creation highlighted in green" and "A personal green Bible trail guide." Hmmm. Maybe I should buy one for Rodney Trotter.

I learned the disturbing fact yesterday that Britain is on the brink of destruction because, unlike the Christian nation of America, Islamic terrorists are running amok. Strange, when more people are murdered on the streets of Philadelphia each year than have been killed by Islamic terrorists in...

Steve, whatever this gobbledigook is below, I blame it on too much blues music.

I have posted on a number of things, even offering a veiled criticism of overly zealous political bloggers. I accused Rodney Trotter of writing Blondie lyrics. I outed Sean as a fan of country music. Nay, I have spoken widely and deeply on profound issues. Yet, yet, the only email I ever received...

My wife asked me a question. She was wondering why my posts, and only my posts, have this nonsense heading. I'm not sure of the answer, at least not entirely. It could have something to do with my Luddite past. I will point out, for the record, that Sean is a bigger fan of Wendell Berry than I am...

I see Phil Ryken is busy posting. I have a theory as to why, and it has to do with Lancaster County air. Phil paid us a visit this past weekend, speaking at my church's, Westminster Presbyterian Church (PCA), fortieth anniversary banquet held at Shady Maple Smorgasbord. Now we need to unpack this...

Several readers have asked for comment on Europe's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) -- the atom smasher located near Geneva at CERN (the European Centre for Nuclear Research). The new facility, which started operations earlier this month (although some recent electrical problems could lead to a two-...

Like Carl, I have a warm appreciation for Machen's Christianity and Liberalism . On a personal and biographical note, the book had a very important influence on my father's theology and discipleship when he was in college and trying to sort out his own beliefs about Scripture. I would demur, though...
