Check out the top four 1991 videos on this list. I'm listening to the first video right now. Kantzer spoke negatively of some elements in evangelicalism but seems overall optimistic.

Because of Romans 1-5 and 1 Cor 15:3ff., I believe that penal substitution is the central motif under which we should view the atonement. Just because other views are championed by men who deny or downplay penal substitution does not, however, mean that all of those...

The names in the image below have been blurred out to protect the person guilty of a sin we've all committed: a double typo! This person is someone I like very much; very sharp. It happens to the best of us! But I still got a big kick out it: I already have a Jew, so...

Just do what I say. Trust me! Open up a new Firefox window and position it side-by-side with the one you're reading my post in! All keystrokes I'm asking you to perform are highlighted in red. Ctrl+N (Mac users, substitute Cmd for Ctrl) Now make sure your cursor is in...

This comes from a high school Bible textbook (teacher's edition, in this case) which I read recently: The unsaved, and even some Christians, tend to view love as an emotion. Biblical love, however, involves commitment. It desires the best for others, and gives...

I like Gentium so much that I'm using it for my dissertation. Gentium looks like this if you're not already seeing it: So why download and use yet another font? Yes, as the Gentium site says, "The design is intended to be highly readable, reasonably compact, and...

The opening ceremonies to the Beijing Olympics were the most spectacular human achievement I have ever witnessed. My wife and I agree; they're a must see even in this brief life of ours. Some multiple of four years ago, I watched a portion of another opening olympic...

Despite the truth contained in Benjamin Franklin's little witticism about his one-time ill-fated plagiarizing pastor . . . I rather approved his giving us good sermons composed by others, than bad ones of his own manufacture. . . . don't let someone else write your...
