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

Doctrine is practical. In scripture we have a pattern of the indicative and then the imperative (see this book for a defense of this pattern). Paul begins his letters stating his doctrinal concerns, then the “therefore…” this is how you should live! Those who read through systematic theologies know that for the most part, doctrines are stated, but not applied.

A recent blog post from TurretinFan reminded me that the world has reached its final year, that is, according to Harold Camping. If you venture over to Family Radio’s web page, you’ll find a map of the world, along with a box reminding Camping’s followers of the approaching day of judgment, May 21, 2011. For those of you who may

This is where Dr. White will be this coming week for the 2010 Spring Theology Conference presented by Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary on the topic “The Nature and Sufficiency of Scripture.” The conference will be held at Woodruff Road Presbyterian Church in Simpsonville, SC. The conference runs from Tuesday, March 9 (1pm) – Thursday, March 11 (12:15pm). On Tuesday, there

Two books that may be of interest to the readership of this blog are: A Theology of John’s Gospel and Letters: The Word, the Christ, the Son of God, by Andreas J. Kostenberger. View sample pages here. Keven Boling recently interviewed Dr. Kostenberg on his new book. Since James is working his way through Hebrews, this is worth mentioning: The

Yes, indeed, free, online, public-domain Loeb Classical Library volumes: here. h.t. N.G.

I just got word on a possible debate topic for Revelation TV, which would be really great. But more importantly, if the hoped for encounter with a particular anti-Trinitarian materializes, there are two resources on the ministry resource list that would be very useful in preparation for that encounter, as both focus upon the OT text as it existed in

I have been hearing about a particular book for a couple of months now, and I believe it is finally available. The book is Speaking the Truth in Love: The Theology of John Frame (P&R, 2009), coming in at whopping 1232 pages. You can view the table of contents here (plus read chapter 2), but of particular interest to apologetics

I have been waiting for this volume for sometime, and it is now available. Bill Edgar and Scott Oliphint (both professor at WTS) have put together “an unprecedented anthology of apologetics texts with selections from the first century AD through the Middle Ages. Includes introductory material, timelines, maps, footnotes, and discussion questions.” “This first of two proposed volumes features primary

The guys over at Reformed Forum recently interviewed Martin Downes (no biological relationship to me) with reference to his new book Risking the Truth: Handling Error in the Church (Christian Focus, 2009). In this issue of the program “The nature of error and heresy is delineated and the best approach to handling it pastorally in the life of the local

Nathan Bingham at the website Cal.vini.st has interviewed Dr. James White. The interview is in two parts (first part) (second part). It’s not a very long interview (12 questions and answers), but it covers a range of topics from the atonement to Australian food. -TurretinFan

In light of the recent discussions, old and new readers of this blog maybe interested in this new book by Kevin D. Young and Ted Kluck titled Why We Love the Church: In Praise of Institutions and Organized Religion (Moody, 2009). A study guide for the book is located online here (free). Check out their quick YouTube introduction. I know

The guys over at Christ the Center recently interviewed Dr. Dan Wallace on the issue of Textual Criticism. Dr. Wallace also discussed some recent NT manuscript finds (very interesting). Click here to listen. See also Dr. Wallace’s article “Challenges in New Testament Textual Criticism for the Twenty-first Century” in the Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society, Vol. 52, No. 1

   Last evening we attempted to stream the audio of the debate live. Due to connection issues, the sound quality was very poor. I apologize for that.    When I debated Bart Ehrman in January I fired up Skype after my opening presentation and called one brother in California so he could listen in. About six or seven other folks jumped on

On June 25, 2002 Dr. Joseph Pipa, Jr. and Mr. Dave Hunt debated the topic of the atonement. It is been quite sometime since this debate has been available online. As of today, this debate can be downloaded from the Greenville Seminary audio site: Part 1 and Part 2. Enjoy!

On Dec. 4, 2008 I announced the 2009 Spring Theology Conference that Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary will be holding in Greenville, SC. The theme for the conference is “John Calvin 500 Years in Retrospect: A 21st Century Assessment.” This year will be a bit different as the folks from Sermon Audio will be on-hand to broadcast live. But, not the

It can be a dangerous thing to recommend audio that one has not listened to (yet), but with this, I have no doubt it is safe. I have been waiting for this interview for quite sometime and the guys at Christ the Center have finally put it together. On December 26th Nick Batzig, Jeff Waddington, Jim Cassidy, Camden Bucey interviewed

Not sure how I missed this one since I try to stay on top of this Podcast, but James was recently (Nov. 21, 2008) interviewed on Christ the Center discussing Apologetics and Islam. Click here to listen. While the panel of Christ the Center are Presbyterians (PCA and OPC), I think the Baptist (and others) who read this blog would

On Monday I am going to be re-recording my opening statement in the resurrection debate that took place in 2005 between myself and Dr. Jim Renihan of the Institute for Reformed Baptist Studies (representing historical Christianity) and John Dominic Crossan and Marcus Borg on the topic of the resurrection. Then we are going to try to sync that up with

As a student at Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, I am pleased to announce the 2009 Spring Theology Conference, sponsored by GPTS. The theme for the conference is John Calvin 500 Years in Retrospect: A 21st Century Assessement. “Loved, hated, misrepresented, misunderstood, blindly-followed by some, rejected out-of-hand by others, but nevertheless relevant even in the modern world, John Calvin is in

   When Shabir Ally contacted me and told me he was going to be in the UK at the same time I was, and we arranged to do the debate which took place last Monday night, I immediately began thinking about the topic I was going to have to defend: Is Jesus Prophesied in the Bible? I got hold of Rich

I am referring to Debating Calvinism: Five Points, Two Views, a single rushed author’s copy of which just arrived UPS at my office. It is thick (427 pages), but it is typeset rather loosely (i.e., considerably less text on a page than most of the books I am accustomed to reading, or writing), hence my description as “fluffy.” As to

Sam Waldron’s work on the New Covenant as the manifesto for the church is out. Click here.

  The biblical truth and importance of the final and unique authority of Scripture is vital to the Christian life and to the health of the Church. James White’s Scripture Alone is a passionate and accessible re-introduction to this significant subject. While liberals deny it and sectarians undermine it, every Bible-believing Christian ought to want to comprehend and warmly embrace

Recently I took the time to obtain a number of books by Neale Donald Walsch, author of Conversations with God (www.cwg.org). For a while it looked like I would have the opportunity to respond to Walsch’s contentions in a televised setting, but he has now declined that engagement. So, I did not want the investment to go completely wasted, so

When I travel I love to show pastors the Uber Bible. The look on their faces as they hold it is just priceless. What on earth is the Uber Bible, you ask? Well, it is the NASB Large Print UltraThin Bible from the Lockman Foundation. What makes it so special? Well, as I have said to a number of folks,

A note from this morning’s Reformed Baptist Discussion List:  The second issue of the Reformed Baptist Theological Review (RBTR I:2) is now available for purchase and should be mailed by August 1st, 2004. This edition includes the following articles: “The Remaining Sabbath for the People of God,” Robert P. Martin; “John Owen and New Covenant Theology,” Richard C. Barcellos; “The

Odd to have a book arrive prior to its publication date, but here it is! Perspectives on Church Government: Five Views of Church Polity from Broadman/Holman publishers is edited by Chad Owen Brand and R. Stanton Norman. It comes in at 350 pages, and presents the viewpoints of Daniel Akin (Single Pastor Model), James Leo Garrett, Jr., (Congregationalism), Paul F.

I do too, especially since RepliGo works so wonderfully on my Palm Tungsten T3. Confused by all the New Perspective stuff? Want another great resource? Here is Phil Eveson’s work, The Great Exchange. It looks like a larger version of this is either available or will soon be available. In either case, this web version contains a lot of good

No, this isn’t because I’m speaking at the conference in August in Pennsylvania (though I am). Just wanted to let everyone know of a blog/resource to add to their daily “run” of important apologetic sites. Jeff Downs does great work and his resource page gives you first-hand materials for serious students. You can access it here. Thanks for the work,
