As mentioned on yesterday’s Dividing Line, there is a collection of mp3s that provide James White’s lectures on church history. (Here is the Link!) There are about 50 or so lectures there, so enjoy!

A few things I want to mention this morning: Here is a short video of Dr. Scott Oliphint describing his new book, and the use of the term “Covenantal” Apologetics as opposed to “Presuppositional” apologetics. I personally like the term “covenantal apologetics” because of the theological implications. Lord willing, in about month I begin reviewing Dr. Oliphint’s new book. Oh,

For the Christian, the mind of God (found in His Word) should ground and permeate our philosophy, and any other discipline we may engage in. Herein lies the differences in apologetic methodologies. So… An interview with Dr. Scott Oliphint was released today from Christ the Center, on the topic and titled of his book Reasons for Faith: Philosophy in the

Lately, I have gotten quite interested (again) in creation, the flood, dinosaurs and other matters related to science and the Bible. I have been quite impressed with most of the material I’ve looked at, and not so impressed with others. I’ll admit that I’m a YEC, and what has interested me most in the past couple of weeks, has been

I hear that everyone interested in apologetics arises early in the morning. I like to get up around 4am, although that certainly doesn’t happen every morning. Well, if you think 4am is early, then 8am is late. So, you will not miss the radio debate that will take place tomorrow morning between Drs. Joseph Pipa and Craig Blomberg. The topic

Obviously (typing with tongue-in-cheek), with the recent republication of the exchanges between James and Mr. McKinsey on this blog, professor Vern Poythress, of Westminster Theological Seminary has made his brand new book Inerrancy and Worldview: Answering Modern Challenges to the Bible available free of charge. Grab the PDF by clicking here. You can also purchase a hard copy of this

There are a few resources that need to brought to your attention, if you don’t already know about them. First, you should know that Stuart Robinson’s Discourses of Redemption is back in print. And as far as I know, the GPTS bookstore is the only one in the US that currently has this in stock. As a matter of fact,

If you are not familiar with George Knight’s commentary on the Pastoral Epistles, you will want to purchase it now. After (or before) purchasing the commentary, tune into the course I finished uploading today on 1 Timothy that Dr. Knight taught at GPTS a number of years ago. The audio is pulled from the video of the class, so I

If the above two topics pique your interest in the least, you will want to tune in live to the 2012 GPTS Spring Theology Conference on Tuesday and Wednesday at 7pm. The two evening sessions will be (Lord willing) broadcast live on Sermon Audio. If you click here at 7pm tomorrow, you will hear Dr. Paul Helseth on the topic

A new book you parents, grandparents, those who desire to be parents or anyone else for that matter, will want to read is by Joel Beeke titled Parenting by God’s Promises: How to Raise Children in the Covenant of Grace. Lest you think I’m simply trying to push my Presbyterian covenantal perspective here on AOMin check out the following endorsements:

While Christians are called to contend for the faith once delivered to the saints (Jude 3), many Christians who get involved in apologetics believe (perhaps unconsciously) they can argue someone into the kingdom. A biblical apologist understands that the battle is not his, but is the Lord’s, even though the Lord is pleased to use the apologist. Scott Oliphint reports

Love him or hate him (which many who read this blog do), the legacy of John Calvin isn’t going anywhere (isn’t that what a legacy is designed to do?). For those who wanted to attend some of the conferences (the GPTS conference in particular) but was unable, the audio is now available on SA. Click here to hear from James

I have been struck lately with the disregard for Sabbath keeping, and I know brothers in Christ differ on this issue, but in this post I want to offer a few resources (pro) on this issue. First, while not entirely for Sabbath keeping, is a forthcoming title by Broadman & Holman Perspectives on the Sabbath: 4 Views, edited by Christopher

It’s been quite a while since I went into “book mode,” but 2011 will take me back to the keyboard for, Lord willing, two books. One is still under development (pray that the co-author I have contacted will join me in the project!) but the other is all set to begin work: What Every Christian Needs to Know about the

Today I finished posting all Annual Spring Theology conferences that we are going to post online (for now), from Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary. The conferences include everything from Southern Presbyterianism (the beginning) to Eschatology (the end). 🙂 There are a few sessions from 2009 & 2010 online but, for now, we will hold off posting the rest.

Before I get the reputation of being a Van Til controversialist, I have posted some new papers on my site pertaining to Covenant Theology. The first is a presentation of Covenant Theology from a credobaptist (i.e., believer’s baptist) position. While I most certainly fly my Reformed Baptist colors on this paper, I hasten to add that our paedobaptist brethren would

One of my favorite courses I’ve
