Theology That Bites Back
Introduction: The trick is to write a headline that gets people to read just the first couple paragraphs. After that, the overall quality of the writing has to hold them. So wish me luck. So taking the occasion of the Roy Moore story, last weekend The LA Times published an op-ed piece by Kathryn Brightbill …
A couple days ago there were “women’s marches” all over the country. It was a very important event I hear tell. Momentous. Charged with meaning. Galvanizing. It was sort of like a Tea Party protest of the left, only without any particular point. There were lots of pink p**sy hats, and so I guess that …
Introduction: The image for wisdom in Proverbs is overwhelmingly feminine—but so is folly. The book of Proverbs is dedicated to teaching young men to walk up rightly, and this means taking women into account, women of both kinds. Women must learn from the book of Proverbs also, but need to do it in reverse. Don’t …
Not surprisingly, my post about Ed Shaw’s book excerpt could use some updating. My original post is here. The article I am critiquing is here. Justin Taylor tweeted out two positive reviews of the book. One was by Tim Challies here. The other was a review by the Gospel Coalition here. In this last review, …

Those whose ideas about individual sexual liberty are formed best while galloping with the herd are in for a real treat this …
“A woman who was related to the leaders in that society necessarily had far more influence than a man who occupied a more lowly station. When Bathsheba made a petition to David concerning her son Solomon, she was exercising far more influence than the average stablehand in the royal stables. When Esther interceded on behalf …
Here is a copy of the address that Nancy gave to a graduating class of eleven girls at Trinitas in Pensacola. The folks there are just wonderful, with hospitality to match.
I have received further information about the situation in the MTW with women’s ordination. First, the church in question has in fact called a husband and wife team to the pastorate. But the church is not in fact a PCA church. The PCA has a cooperative agreement with a local denomination there, a denomination which …
Preaching today continues one aspect of the prophetic office, but it does so by continuing the work of weighing, discerning, evaluating, exegeting, and declaring. Preachers today are not inspired in the same way that Isaiah, Jeremiah, Agabus, or Philip’s daughters were. Because the grace of direct inspiration or utterance has been discontinued, what we now …
