I have had, quite literally, a week of books.
It was my birthday earlier in the week, and so I’ve been given various very kind gifts of books, including amidst their number the complete works of the Puritan John Flavel, and a full set of Calvin’s commentaries. I’m not going to list all the titles in […]
Luke Wood has written a wonderful article interacting with something written by Jonathan Carswell. In it he outlines what those of us with a slightly stand-off-ish attitude to Christian Unions tend to think about parachurch.
He does more than that though, he also outlines what excellent parachurch looks like! Christian Unions can look like this, many […]
So, there’s a new paperback edition of the God Delusion out. Apparently it has a new preface in which Dawkins responds to the claim that he is, in fact, a fundamentalist himself. His denial is … less than convincing. The assumptions of his naturalistic worldview are pervasive.
Peter Williams has posted it in its entirety and […]
I’d like to point your attention over to the new section on the right above my blogroll entitled ‘A Look Around.’ The Name will change to something better when I think of it. It houses the currently empty ‘essays’ page and a link to my dissertation: Clothed In Righteousness.
I’ve talked about this before. It’s an […]
Go and watch this. Watch it and marvel at the glorious Christ and his supremacy.
You can spare 10 minutes for this. Trust me, you can.
“There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry, ‘Mine!”

Gareth has begun blogging his way through Overcoming Sin and Temptation by that most renowned of Puritans and England’s greatest theologian: John Owen. He’s put up a post on the first chapter, and I imagine we can expect more to follow. In fact, his aim is to get through the 40 chapters in 40 days […]
The Gospel Is:
The Only Option
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
John 14:6
The gospel is a solution to a problem. I’ve been exploring the problem and the different ways in which the gospel solves the problem, I’m going to continue […]
In a comment on another post Matt said, “you are a busy chap! When do you find time for studying.”
Well, there might be a reason behind that somewhere that would explain why I used to post daily, and I now post about three or four times a month: only really when I have time to […]
I just read Amazing Grace in the Life of William Wilberforce by John Piper. I’d like to recommend it as a wonderful short biopic. It isn’t really a comprehensive biography, which is perhaps obvious due to its length, rather it is something of a picture as to what Piper sees as Wilberforce’s motivations and convictions.
Obviously […]
