A Final Wrap-Up: Thabiti Anyabwile and Douglas Wilson
Introduction When our discussion first started, we were both surprised at how well it went, and both of us are very grateful to God, and to one another, for this great blessing. We have also been grateful to the readers and commenters who participated in this discussion in the same spirit, praying with us, and …
Clunkity, Clunkity, Clunk
I am reliably informed that an article I wrote many moons ago is being recirculated and is out there causing some consterwebs on the Internation. The original article is here, if you are not full up on your spring quota of Wilson imbroglios. If you don’t have time to chase these things down, I will …
After the Crash
“Before the Fall, certain motions between husband and wife were just natural, normal, right, and effortless. After the Crash (as we might just as well call it), all of us who are redeemed in Christ are going through intensive ‘physical therapy’ in order to relearn some of those fundamental motions.

Old Dialog on Baptism
I was clearing out some files on my computer this evening, and came across a dialog on baptism I wrote eons ago. I don’t think it was ever published anywhere, but who knows? Because it seemed the easiest and most natural way to do this, I decided to place my answers to objections in the …

One Is Enough
It is remarkable how many places in Scripture emphasize that women are to be submissive to their own husbands. What this means is liberation from having to submit to all the others” (For a Glory and a Covering, p. 64).
A Theology of Apology
Life in community is hard, and life in large community is even harder. When we have angered someone we didn’t want to anger, or hurt someone we ought not to have hurt, we should be eager to put it right, and we should act like we are eager to put it right (Prov. 15:1). When …
With Jello in My Hair
I would like to welcome Thabiti back to our discussion. I understand he was on the road, and you can’t always keep up the back and forth when you are traveling back and forth. We have both expressed our appreciation for how the discussion has fared thus far, but given the volatility of the topic …
