A few weeks ago, I preached on the importance of the Definition of Chalcedon to a right celebration of Christmas. At the same time, Gregory Shane Morris reposted something he had written defending a Protestant use of the title “Mother of God” as applied to Mary. One of my … [Read more...]
Viewing the No Quarter November Game Film
Introduction: So by all our reckoning, November was a success. What I thought I would do here is report back to you on a few of the relevant stats, in order to evaluate things by that metric, and then spend a few additional moments on the only metric that ultimately … [Read more...]
Book of the Month/December 2018
My choice for this month’s book is Hillbilly Elegy by J.D. Vance. It is, in a number of ways, a powerful and moving book. I listened to it through Audible, and as it is read by the author himself, I got an additional sense of closed rhetorical distance—like he was riding around … [Read more...]

November Cometh
I would briefly remind you that when next month arrives, I have planned a series of blog posts that will present you with the truth in rough cut timber -- no planing, no sanding, no varnish. A further explanation can be found here. So the reminder is to stay tuned. … [Read more...]
A Sort of CostCo for Controversy
I am afraid that this book is kind of a beast. It is a collection of all my blog posts that were filed under the heading of “Auburn Avenue Stuff.” In addition, at the end I included the emails that I sent as part of the summit at Ft. Lauderdale, the one that resulted in the book … [Read more...]
