Started off with the earth-shaking announcement that Peter Lumpkins has written a book telling us everything we need to know about Calvinism! I am thankful that this multi-millenial discussion will finally be concluded with the publication of this work. Then we discussed some of the developments in the rapidly accelerating cultural decay of the West, then we listened to a

Had to sneak a Dividing Line in despite my travels. Reported on the trip, discussed the Canadian Supreme Court decision limiting the free speech rights of Christians, and then took a quick call on NT Wright. And don’t forget the WayBack Machine, streaming Dividing Lines from 1998 onward 24/7! You can listen on the Flash Player found here.

Going to try to sneak in a DL today at 1pm EST to report on the work in Dublin and take your calls. Hope you all have had a chance to watch the debates now. Would like to hear your thoughts.

Started off with just a few comments on the Papal Resignation, and then got back into the NT Wright article. I also noted that I have put a number of Wright books on the Ministry Resource List, and if folks want me to expand my study of Wright and attempt to provide some kind of explanation of his views in

Given I had the privilege to dialogue with NT Wright on his views of justification this morning on Unbelievable with Justin Brierley (I know Justin had to do very, very little talking on today’s program, right Justin?), I started explaining Wright’s position through reading selected portions of his 2011 JETS article. I did not finish the task (there is much

Finished up the “Debacle at Eerdman’s,” listening to the brave young men from IRR doing their best to expose the redefinition of Mormonism by the Mouw/Millet team. Well done, gentlemen—whether Mouw and Millet hear you, God was honored. In any case, finished up the recording of the discussion.
