(May 10, 1886 – December 10, 1968) In discussions concerning the doctrine of scripture modern evangelical theologians and scholars often dismiss the profound insight of Karl Barth . That is not to say Barth was always right. There is much to disagree about his theology, a great deal which needs to at least be given serious consideration when formulating ones own theological positions, and common ground that will help all as they walk toward the common goal of knowing God. Herein lies a brief exploration of why Karl Barth should be allowed a place in discussions about ‘doctrine of scripture.’ Karl Barth was schooled ... Read Full Story

Wright Versus Barth contact me at midknightmail1@aol.com What is most astounding to this writer is the decided ignorance about Karl Barth on the part of N.T. Wright. Barth was the most influential theologian of the past 500 years (going back to John Calvin) and is commonly accepted as one of five “most influential” theologians since the very beginnings of the Christian Church.

He (Wright) began his “higher education” in ... Read Full Story

Editor's note: I have been in awe of Barth's writing capacity - somewhere around 7 million words in his CD's (Church Dogmatics) and several additional publications. Richard Hays has read the CDs from cover to cover 10 times, or so I am told - another impressive feat. But when it comes to content volume, not too many can put one up against the Fuller Professor, Georffrey Bromily. He is the primary translator of Karl Barth's 6 million word Church Dogmatics . Add to that seemingly impossible task the fact that he translated the 9 volume set of Kittel's Theological Dictionary of the New Testament ... Read Full Story

Michael Servetus (1511 to 1553). His genius extends to many fields of human endeavor: jurisprudence, mathematics, meteorology, geography, astrology, philosophy, medicine, theology, and biblical criticism. And he was the first European to describe the function of pulmonary circulation. The biographer of John Calvin, E. Stähelin, wrote: "Servetus was in intellectual endowments undoubtedly the peer of the greatest men of his century, Calvin included." Friedrich Trechsel, nineteenth century church historian, wrote: "Servetus personified the antitrinitarian spirit, and worked it out into a comprehensive system, giving it its first speculative and systematic form. Previous Antitrinitarians had either been merely negative, or their teaching had gone off ... Read Full Story

By “Theology of Space”, we don’t mean the “Force” of Star Wars, of the logic of the Vulcans we mean something more akin to how churches and Christian communities use their spatial resources. Our very own Dr. Paul Louis Metzger has been busy (for proof, read this). Never one to shy away from tough questions, he attempts to tackle the “Theology of Space” in his latest article published in the November 2009 issue of Leadership magazine. What’s So...

Once again Pastor Evans is using the Gospel to encourage raising taxes in Alabama. While Evans makes some salient points about the need for tax restructuring, using the Bible as basis for political strategies that cite Scripture that is clearly meant for the individual is faulty at best.
