Jim Hamilton on His New Revelation Commentary by Denny Burk

This book is an excellent exposition of the text, and I commend it to you. I am grateful that Hamilton took some time to answer some of my questions about the book of revelation and his interpretation of it.

Justin Bieber says he doesn’t have to go to church and Dan Kimball’s response

But I would say if by the quote he is meaning we can function as healthy followers of Jesus on our own, without being part of some form of a structured local church, whether a house church or a large church, then I would say that is incorrect theology he would be advocating about what church is and what a Christian’s role [is] as being part of a local church.

Learning from Christopher Hitchens: Lessons Evangelicals Must Not Miss by Al Mohler

There are important lessons to be learned from the life and career of Christopher Hitchens, and they are lessons we must not fail to contemplate.

Can We Judge the Morality of God?: A Response to Roger Olson

When Roger Olson announced he was releasing a book, part of a two-book counter-point effort along with Michael Horton, titled Against Calvinism, there was hope for something that might engage the real strength of Reformed theology—the clear and consistent exegesis of the biblical text that the “young, restless and Reformed” have found so compelling. But even before its release, Dr. Olson gave clear indication that its focus was not going to be exegetical. Instead, as the book substantiated, his argument can be summarized fairly easily: the God of Calvinism is a “moral monster,” and Calvinists simply need to think through their beliefs far enough to see what Olson has been able to see.
