The Saturday editions will be special topics, like reading from ancient manuscripts (like Vaticanus), looking at Septuagint-related tools (lexicons, editions, etc.), and so forth.

We’ve got an exciting slate of classes this academic year for ThM students. See below. I’m looking forward to teaching a ThM course on the divine attributes in January.

I read John MacArthur's book, Ashamed of the Gospel, when it came out in 1993, when I was a senior in college. It was the first time I'd read anything about "Calvinism."

It’s not like I looked to Elmo for advice or anything. But I did have some low key expectations regarding content.

Loving God above all things is in your best interest. But your best interest is not the best reason for loving God above all things.

There’s a powerful, well-funded anti-mayo lobby pulling the levers of institutional power across many ecclesiastical denominations and branches of civil government. Once you see it, you can’t ignore it. Subscribe to my podcast, &cetera.
