Richard Gaffin 32 Years Ago on Systematic Theology
Another blogger just recommended to me two articles on the relationship between Systematic Theology and Biblical Theology. One is by Richard Gaffin, written in the Westminster Theological Journal in 1976 (the other is from 2008 by Vern Poythress). In it he traces the...
The Books of the Bible
The Books of the Bible is, if you're a regular reader of my blog, something you know I've been excited about since December when I got my copy. I even managed to sell a whole case of them without trying! My excitement exists because I think the excision of chapter and...

My boss's son, a graphic design grad from BJU, took our wedding photos, and we are thrilled with them. Here are a few. What a joyful day, what a grace of God!
