In a recent post, I suggested that nobody believes in Sola Scriptura . In a comment, Tim Nichols, from Full Contact Christianity , challenged my definition of Sola Scriptura , as not being the same definition that was used by the classical Reformers when they talked about Sola Scriptura.  I was intrigued, and so asked where I could read more about what he was saying. He recommended a book by Keith Mathison called The Shape of Sola Scriptura . So I obtained the book and read it last week...Read Full Story

You want to learn about theology? Here is the definition of theology: Did that help any? I didn’t think so.

Brian McLaren, who in my view, fancies himself as some sort of modern-day Reformer, is wondering why Evangelicals "don't like him." McLaren has been a leading critic of Evangelicals urging them to reconsider their position on issues such as who Jesus is and homosexuality and embrace more liberal positions on these issues. Newsbusters has a very interesting piece on McLaren titled, " Liberal Preacher McLaren Blasts Evangelicals; Wonders Why They Dislike Him ." Not surprisingly, McLaren, blames...Read Full Story
