I’ve been listening to a fair bit of Mark Driscoll again lately. This has probably been brought on by the news that he is the main speaker at Together on a Mission this summer.
Anyway, a few thoughts on the dude - none of them original.
He says offensive and shocking things. That’s his style. I find […]

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 […]

Well, debate thunders on. There have been lots of comments from lots of people all over the internet, so I’m only going to point to a couple that I consider notable.
Firstly, N. T. Wright has responded to approximately everyone in the world. At points he sounds good, at points he doesn’t. Before I’ve said “well, […]

The “atonement debate” has been all over the internet again in recent weeks. Adrian Warnock has been running a bit of blog series on it. That link is simply the latest post at the time of writing. Along with that it’s been running throughout evangelicalism itself again recently, with Steve Chalke as always in the […]

My dear friend Sam Pollard has left a comment on my post commenting on Edwards on imputation. It, as I was expect from Sam, is well thought through, deep, meaningful, theological and it taught me something.
Go and read our exchange.
It’s a shame he’s an Anglican.

We have often said heretofore that the Gospel, properly speaking, is not something written in books, but an oral proclamation, which shall be heard in all the world and shall be cried out freely before all creatures, so that all would have to hear it if they had ears; that is to say, it shall […]

A while ago I linked to Andrew Wilson’s article on the God Delusion. He has since published this as a book, although under a different name since McGrath presumably gets precedence on title choice.
Anyway, I have just been given a signed copy of it. I personally think it’s excellent, and a good response if you […]

The Rebelution, with its wonderful tag line “do hard things,” has now released the Modesty Survey. It’s viewable online here. Generally, this has to be a good thing - although it might not surprise you that much to hear that I’d disagree with some of the sentiments expressed by other people who filled it in!
While […]

Luke has changed the name of his blog; shows us the new Mobilise video with its super cheap pricing and tells us about something really quite exciting: church on campus.
Interesting, eh? ;)
Read the rest of his blog, it’s good. Things to learn here: ‘Family on a mission’ is frankly where it’s at; Mobilise is amazing […]
