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

For the readers of this blog who have not heard about the new podcast of Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, I am now informing you. The name for the podcast is Confession our Hope.

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:

In March of this year, Greenville Seminary held their annual Spring Theology Conference. The theme was on the Person and Work of the Holy Spirit. I was given permission today to post all the lectures and Q&A sessions. You can access the conference by clicking here.

Chapters for this volume include: “The Deity of Christ Today”, by Stephen J. Nichols. “The Deity of Christ and the Old Testament,”, by Raymond C. Ortland, Jr. “The Deity

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

The fourth volume in John Frame series A Theology of Lordship is now available The Doctrine of the Word of God, coming in at 720 pages. Sample pages here.

Yesterday I had the privilege of sitting under the preaching of Pastor Ian Hamilton (a Scotsman) pastor at Cambridge Presbyterian Church. Hamilton is the author of two books The Erosion of Calvinist Orthodoxy: Drifting from the Truth in Confessional Scottish Churches and a commentary in the Let’s Study series on The Letters of John. One of my favorite courses I’ve

The advantage you have is you is that he is

At this time, one of the most blossoming areas of electronic biblical texts and research is on the LXX. Rex A. Koivisto has provided us with a status quaestionis on electronic resources for LXX research. You can download his informative article here.

For those who might be interested, I have started posting papers that I have written for my Th.M. on my website. As Dr. White has often said in the past (and I agree with him), the value of a theological education is not where you get it, but what you do with it. It is my hope and prayer that

I just finished uploading a conference that Dr Joseph Pipa and Dr. Richard Gaffin, Jr. participated in back in 1998. The theme of the conference was Reformed Hermeneutics and Homiletics. Those interested in preaching and the various issues in homiletics such as the redemptive-historical approach, this audio will be of interest to you. Richard Gaffin has been a professor at
