Congratulations to my colleague Peter Leithart, who has been appointed to a two-year lectureship for the Association of Reformed Institutions of Higher Education (ARIHE). You can read more about that here , on the blog of Roy Atwood , president of NSA. Meantime, in a masterpiece of bad timing, some of the gnats-stranglers in the …
A Rabbi With a BLT
A great question was raised in the previous thread which I would like to bring to the top of the discussion. There is an important aspect of all this that we can’t let slide. Andrew asks: “I’m hoping you will respond to Matthew’s more general question, which is the same one I’ve had since you …
Common Ground in Which We May Grow a Veggie or Two
Some may wonder why I appear to be on a food jag. The principle is a simple one. If, for example, I encounter two or three instances of husbands getting angry with their wives and families, you can bet that I will assume that these three guys do not represent an exhaustive list, and the …
Or a Michael Moore Lie Montage
The idea of separation is a biblical idea. Come out from among them and be ye holy (2 Cor. 6:17). But in order to do this it is necessary actually to separate on biblical principle and in a biblical way. We need to learn how God’s intends for His people to be distinct. Too often …
Caverns Under the Heart
CanonWired has a new feature called Brush Strokes — little snippets around a minute in length. Now we know that a cynic might say that this is just theology for people with ADHD. I started to write a lengthy treatise to answer this foul canard, but then I lost interest. But seriously, take a look …

Diligent Oyster Avoidance
The next article consists of J.V. Fesko tackling the “works of the law” in Paul as N.T. Wright construes them, which is to say, as boundary markers. The works of the law for Wright are not the moral good works “which the Reformation tradition loves to hate.” For Wright, the identity markers were things like …
On Their Way to My Pie
In God in the Dock, Lewis addresses in his typical trenchant way the dangers of national repentance. And, of course, one of the first things to note is that there is absolutely nothing wrong with national repentance, the real kind. But sinners have a consistent way of foisting the guilt of their moral failings off …
Sick in Miletus
“At thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” (Ps. 16: 11) “Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus. Erastus remained at Corinth, and I left Trophimus, who was ill, at Miletus. Do your best to come before winter. Eubulus sends greetings to you, as do Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all …
