I’ve promised Missy a post on engaging with non-Christian beliefs and I’ll definitely get to that. But Dan’s recent post made me think again of this quote from Steve Holmes:
‘Our task is not to tell people that they must believe in Jesus, but so to tell them of Jesus that they must believe in Him.’
I’ve [...]

Making faith about anything other than [the Word of God] is to turn faith into a work, and making it perilous ground for Christian assurance
Really very good post by Dan.

An interviewer once suggested to Barth that he followed a christo-centric principle in his theology. Barth was not impressed. He insisted that he had no interest in a christo-centric principle. He was interested in Christ Himself.
Whether Barth always achieved that is another matter (who does?). But at least he identified the danger with which all [...]

I feel terrible that I haven’t linked before to Jacky Lam’s tour de force in the making. Check out this christological commentary on the whole bible (3 books down 63 to go!). He’s taking a break from blogging while in mainland China, so now’s your chance to catch up on Genesis, Exodus and Leviticus. Hugely [...]

Just watched The Tudors (episode 4, series 2). Baby Elizabeth was baptized.
Now here’s my question. The triune name was pronounced over the child and it got wet. Was that baby (the ‘actor’ not the historical figure) baptized? I’m not hugely up on sacramental theology. What would the Roman Catholic Church say? Luther? Calvin? What about a covenant [...]

In response to my Christ in the OT posts, Pete Myers posted this. We then interacted here and here.
I then posted these ten propositions on Trinity, revelation and the Old Testament:

1. Revelation in Christ is revelation in the distinct Person of the Divine Mediator
.
2. Our doctrine of God goes awry if we begin without a conscious [...]
