Anglican Amyraldism

Last updated on: March 18, 2019 at 5:54 pm By Michael F. Bird

Technically Amyraldianism is a particular species of covenant theology called hypothetical universalism, more broadly, it allows a Calvinistic view of election to mesh with a view of universal atonement. There is a wonderful tradition of Amyraldian Anglicans who imbibed Calvinism with a Catholic spirit. J.C. Ryle, John Newton, and Charles Simeon are the main examples. Another one in that tradition is D.B. Knox. D.B. Knox (1916-94), former theology professor at Moore College in Sydney, advocated a view of universal atonement... Read more

What We Can Learn from Christian Responses to Infanticide

Last updated on: June 18, 2019 at 12:39 am By Michael F. Bird

Over at ABC Religion and Ethics, there is a great piece by Louis Gosbell (St Mary Andrews College) about Christian responses to infanticide. “As long as it’s healthy”: What can we learn from early Christianity’s resistance to infanticide and exposure? Augustine is unique in his presentation of the inherent value of deformed infants, as we have no evidence for other discussions regarding this issue within the first five centuries of the Common Era. Nevertheless, concern for the welfare of deformed... Read more

My Interview on the Inverse Podcast: Just War & Pacifism

Last updated on: June 18, 2019 at 12:51 am By Michael F. Bird

I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Jarrod McKenna on the Inverse Podcast. It was an hour-long interview where we discussed some big topics like activism, resistance, refugees, violence, pacifism, and just war theory. Is it okay to egg racist and xenophobic politicians?
