Biblical Theology is a reference book covering every book in the Bible, but it can also be read devotionally, as I did – in fact, it took me nine months to read. As C. S. Lewis says in his wonderful introduction to Athanasius' On The Incarnation, doctrinal books are often “more helpful in devotion than the devotional books”. This work goes through every book of the Bible, elaborating on the themes of each book...
This Earthly Life Matters
Was Jesus merely an “emergency measure”? Did Kuyper take the creation and culture far enough? Is the goal of life to “get saved” or is it to get saved unto the end that God intended all along? Do we overemphasize Jesus at the expense of the Trinity? All this, and more, is what the great Dutch Theologian AA Van Ruler causes us to consider. Join us as we sit down with Ernst Conradie...

This is a very good book but not necessarily for the reasons given by the editors. Welcome indeed are the deeper theological books from Neo-Calvinists. Whether or not culture has been reclaimed, it is important to remember that there is more to theology, more to the Christian worldview, than simply redeeming the arts. I am somewhat confused, though. I do not get the impression that all of the editors share the same focus that Van Ruler has...

Lessons Learned from the Paganism vs. Christianity of Old
In this episode we are joined by Stephen O. Presley, author of "Cultural Sanctification: Engaging the World like the Early Church." to see if we might glean some insight on how to engage our post-post-Christian-now-pagan-nation. In an increasingly secular world, Stephen O. Presley takes us back to the first few...
Lawful Subjection to the Civil Magistrate and Dutiful Resistance to Tyrants
Does Romans 13 command Christians a near unqualified obedience toward the civil magistrate? Is there an appropriate occasion and even a duty to resist tyranny, even if the tyranny is not sinful, per se? The aim of this book is to shed light on the fact that Paul's appeal for...

“Trust the science” rhetoric is nothing new
Abraham Kuyper would’ve thrown-up in his mouth if he had to watch the folly that was Pfizer’s commercial that aired during the Super Bowl. Pfizer’s “Trust the science” rhetoric is nothing new. Kuyper was exposing the “priests of science” in his own day and in 1911 he summarized their strategy...
