Having become a heretic in the broader Reformed world, I am sometimes asked how I did it. What is the recipe? How might a young man who wants to cook up something similar go about the business?
Here is the good news. You probably have the ingredients in your library . . . kitchen . . . having trouble sustaining the metaphor. Anyway you can cook up your own batch of heresy stew, and you don’t even have to use suspect items purchased at the Grocery Store of Rome, or the Mini-Mart of Pop Evangelicalism.
Everything can be assembled if you simply read and pay attention to the following: Given for You, by Keith Mathison, Resurrection and Redemption by Richard Gaffin, “The Church: Its Definition in Terms of ‘Visible’ and “Invisible’ Invalid” by John Murray, and assorted other stuff published by impeccable publishing houses located in places like Carlisle and Phillipsburg.
The best I can figure, these publishers don’t mind you cooking up this kind of stew, for, after all, the ingredients are all still available from them (for a modest price). But they do want you to throw the stew out after you have cooked it. No serving it to anybody. Reformed people eating stuff instead of thinking stuff appears to be what has gotten everybody riled.
