Theology EXPOSED

Biblical theology did not begin with Augustine. It didn't end with the Westminster Confession. It isn't about your denomination's preferences. It's about grasping what the biblical text gives you and letting it speak for itself, no matter what. Doing biblical theology requires being honest about the presuppositions you bring to the text, discerning the interpretive options the text can sustain, weighing the alternatives for coherence, and having a low view of your own omniscience.

Looking at the Inerrancy Definitions, Part 1

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

Let me say at the outset that I personally have no problem with the word “inerrancy” and want to embrace such a doctrine as an evangelical. My problem is that I’m not sure how to articulate what the word should mean so that it’s honest, defensible, and coherent. I believe truth corresponds to reality (correspondence […]

Definitions of Inerrancy

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

Well, here we go with the inerrancy issue. Hopefully by now you have read the required readings for this discussion (yes, they are required; I have specific goals with this thread, and comments posted that make me think you haven’t done the reading will likely not be displayed).
In the wake of the readings, I’ve […]
