Some of you may remember a less than encouraging e-mail we received from a Dave Hunt fan last week. You remember…key phrases like “snide and arrogant” “mockery” “pompous contradictions” and the identification of yours truly as a “heretical wolf.” Well, Angelz happened to be passing by the blog and saw the letter, and we all know what happens when you get Angelz upset!
In his The God of Israel and Christian Theology R. Kendall Soulen make a case why God’s love must be exclusive in his election of the physical people Abraham-Israel. The same principle can be applied to the Divine electing love of individuals—Jew or Gentile—who are in Christ. But why should God be a God of election at all? Does not God
A few months ago I took more than a little heat for posting the e-mails that had been exchanged between myself and Ergun Caner (even though, as they show, he himself had simply requested that they be posted en toto, which I did). When they asked that the second “round” of e-mails be kept private, Tom Ascol and I said,

A few days ago I noted, very briefly (all of a single paragraph at the end of a longer blog entry), the continued campaign of Watchtower apologist Greg Stafford in reference to Reformed theology, and in particular, the sovereign decree of God and Yahweh’s exhaustive knowledge of future events. I doubt our Open Theist friends are overly appreciative of the
J.P. Holding spent some time in his essay arguing that God’s choice of Jacob over Esau can be seen as a cost/benefit analysis on God’s part; that is, he invests a large amount of space discussing hypotheticals (infused with a little Molinism just for the fun of it–no, of course there is no effort to ground Molinism, or any of
When I was in seminary I had the wonderful opportunity of writing a paper on the theology of Jonathan Edwards on the sovereignty of God. It was one of the most exciting studies I did at that time. The “Edwards” field is huge, with many modern writers and speakers addressing the topic. But if you’d like to get an engaging,
I get the Berean Call’s e-mail newsletter/update, and scan through it as time allows to see what comments are made regarding Dave’s anti-Calvinism campaign. I’ve seen some interesting comments. But this one was worth a reply: Dear Mr. Hunt, I enjoyed reading Debating Calvinism. I sat in the Calvinist camp for many years….Why don’t Calvinists preach their “doctrines of grace”
Had some enjoyable banter in response to Jeff Durbin’s live Facebook video from yesterday, and then we moved into considering some of the comments made by Trent Horn after his debate with Gavin Ortlund on sola scriptura.
