Shining a Little Light on Ergun Caner
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,
Covenantal Apologetics, Pt. 2
Yesterday I mentioned that Dr. Scott Oliphint’s latest book Covenantal Apologetics: Principles and Practice in Defense of Our Faith will hit the shelves next month. The folks at Crossway were kind enough to supply me with a copy for review. Thank you! In this post I simply want to supply our readers with the Table of Contents. Foreword by William
Taking a Fresh Look
The following e-mail was sent Thursday morning, July 13th, 2006, at 10:26am MST: Dear Dr. Caner: I just returned from ministering in the United Kingdom at the School of Theology at the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London, as well as a quick trip up to Glasgow, where I combined ministry (spoke on the Bible’s teaching on homosexuality-a privilege that will surely
God Owes Us Nothing
Imagine if every Evangelical pastor started with that premise in the role of God’s grace in our salvation. Imagine if every Evangelical affirmed this with their entire heart. Recently I was listening to a lecture by Dr. Paul Lim on the extent of the atonement. He commented that years ago students approached their grade from the perspective of a zero
C. Gordon Olson: Beyond Calvinism and Arminianism
C. Gordon Olson’s Beyond Calvinism and Arminianism (New Jersey: Global Gospel Publishers, 2002) hasn’t sold as many copies as other books against Calvinism. Since the book appears to be self-published, those in New Jersey have more copies than most other regional locations. The author lived in New Jersey when the book was released, and gave lectures in local churches based
What Scripture Does Not, Cannot, Dare Not, Never Will, Say (But Not What it DOES Say)
One way you can detect unfounded tradition masquerading as “biblical beliefs” is to note the prevalence of “this passage can’t be saying this” combined with little or no positive “the text clearly says this” followed by meaningful exegesis. When someone can only tell you what the Bible doesn’t say, but can’t tell you positively what it does, they have a
Debate: Predestination, Dr. Michael Brown, Southern Evangelical Seminary, Charlotte, North Carolina, 2/14/2013
James White and Michael Brown debate the subject of Predestination at Southern Evangelical Seminary. In a debate marked by mutual respect and brotherhood, these two apologists do not hesitate to press each other on the implications of their beliefs. The debate includes 25 minute opening statements, plenty of interaction, and audience questions. If you want to hear a biblically based,
Four Calls and then Overview of Issues in Church History
We took four calls to start the show, and I was so verbose and long-winded that that took us 55 minutes. So much for brevity on my part! The calls were on federal headship and Romans 5, “not My will but Yours” in Luke 22 (esp. as it relates to Oneness theology), Bahnsen vs. Sproul debate, and using presuppositional apologetics
