New Audio Links

When someone gives me a sermon or lecture to listen to, I usually don’t. Well, I hope you’re not like me. Below are some links to some helpful 2K lectures. I’ve also added them to the “The Tempting Sounds” list … Continue reading

Non-Westminster Catechism

Speaking of creating a new catechism… I’m in favor of revising confessions and catechisms, in principle. For instance, I think we could use some language about male ordination. And how about nailing down IAOC? It would be nice to replace … Continue reading

Religious Bigotry, Like Sin, Is an Equal Opportunity Affliction, or Toward a Better Anti-Catholicism

Much of the brouhaha over Jason Stellman’s development has garnered a lot of chatter over the Catholic-Protestant divide, the sound of a squeaky wheel being reinvented.  In the process, strong language tends to give way to incivility. Even those of … Continue reading

Two Kingdoms Is Protestant

With all due respect to my fellow Outhouser who approvingly linked us to Carl Trueman’s response to Jason Stellman’s developed views, there is a better way to assess the correlation between those views and two kingdom theology. The latter is … Continue reading

One Lord, One Baptism, One Sentiment

This is so DGH, it’s not worth trying to Guess Who: An implicit assumption of faith-based politics is that people who hold the same religious convictions will, or at least should, look at the political order in similar ways. Some invoke … Continue reading

Preaching on the Plains

As OHS DGH has noted, there is something peculiar about the OPC that causes it to write histories of itself. I am pleased to announce another data point on that arc; Preaching on the Plains, the memoir of David K. … Continue reading

Save the Date

Here in the Outhouse, we like T. David Gordon. (Heck, any reformed author who wears bowties is all right in our book!) Well, for all the rest of you T. David Gordon fans in the San Diego area, I am … Continue reading

Presbyterian Sociology, Part II

[HT inscrutable Being] I know everybody’s first thought upon seeing a blog post titled Presbyterian Sociology, Part I was, “wait, you mean there’s gonna be another one?” Well, the unbearable wait is finally over. In case you don’t have $159.97 … Continue reading

The American Conservative on the Conservative Evangeliliberals

The American Conservative claims that “conservative evangelicals are more Republican than Republicans.” The piece is good not only for plugging a forthcoming title by Darryl Hart (From Billy Graham to Sarah Palin: Evangelical Protestants and the Betrayal of American Conservatism) … Continue reading

Friday Fun

It’s a couple months old now (just like J. Gresham Machen when he was baptized), but be sure to go back and listen to this delightful Office Hours with Dr. Van Drunen (wait, did you think I meant the other … Continue reading

Religious Bigotry, Like Sin, Is an Equal Opportunity Affliction, or Toward a Better Anti-Catholicism

The American Conservative has an interesting way of evaluating the jihadwatcher-ism amongst us: But what exactly does this have to do with the threat that al-Qaeda and other Muslim terrorist groups pose to America? For those who suggest that Islam … Continue reading

Are You Talking to Me?

Affirmation is based on the recognition that culture and culture-making have their own validity before God that is not nullified by the fall. It isn’t just that the social order is preserved because the rule of sin is restrained, in … Continue reading

Reformed Forum

The biggest possible tip-o-the-hat goes to Paul, who introduced me to the treasure trove of reformed audio that is ReformedForum.org, which seems to be somewhat analogous to MR/WHI, except for being more Westminster East-student/alumni-driven, rather than WSCAL-faculty-driven, and all on … Continue reading

Did He Just Use the S-Word?

But by my count “secular” has seven letters, not four. Feldman’s identification of these two political constituencies fails, however, to address those Christians who find no home with either values evangelicals or legal secularists. These adherents might be best called … Continue reading

It’s Like Watching Federer Play

That may not be a good analogy, Roger recently being knocked out of the French Open and all (look up, Roger, age creeps up on all of us). Still, the last two times I’ve been to the U.S. Open and … Continue reading
