Trinity and Incarnation among the Second Century Apologists

Last updated on: January 25, 2019 at 3:10 am By Michael F. Bird

The road from Nazareth (the historical Jesus) to Nicaea (affirmation of a fully divine Son) is full of express lanes, roadblocks, detours, one-way streets, roundabouts, protests, and even the odd Gnostic mardi gras parade. For instance, in the writings of Justin, you have a strong emphasis on Jesus as the Logos, the eternal word of God, but he otherwise treats the Spirit as merely the Spirit of prophecy and he might even conflate the Son and the Spirit in places....

Every Day Glory

Gerald R. McDermott Everyday Glory: The Revelation of God in all of Reality Grand Rapids, MI: Baker, 2018. Available at Baker and Koorong By Laura Thierry Romans 1:20 declares that God’s ‘invisible attributes…have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made.’ The Psalmist confidently proclaims that ‘the heavens declare the glory of God’ (Ps. 19:1). But can every day realities actually tell us about the glory of God? Can rocks and... Read more

On the Origins of Divine Christology

Last updated on: January 13, 2019 at 9:13 pm By Michael F. Bird

Andrew Ter Ern Loke The Origin of Divine Christology SNTSMS; Cambridge: CUP, 2017. Available at Amazon.com This book is a critique of evolutionary schemes of christological development as well as an argument that the only reason why the early church believed that Jesus was “true God” is because he himself believed so or at least gave that impression. There are good discussions about the nature of divinity in the ancient world and early church, function and being in christology, reiteration... Read more

Micah Fries & Keith Whitfield Islam and North America: Loving our Muslim Neighbors Nashville, TN: B&H, 2018. Available at B&H. By J. Paul Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the world.

Pre-Order The New Testament in its World

Last updated on: May 15, 2019 at 5:52 pm By Michael F. Bird

Okay, we are approaching the end game on The New Testament in its World (NTiiW), I’m proofing the galleys (so many pictures!), preparing the workbook, and I’m getting excited.

God, Politics, and Alexander Hamilton

Last updated on: May 15, 2019 at 6:00 am By Michael F. Bird

I just came across a great series of audio lectures about Alexander Hamilton including one by Prof. Jason Duncan on God, Politics, and Alexander Hamilton. It is good, not just about Hamilton’s own spiritual and religious life, but also about the religion of the American founding fathers. John Adams regarded the incarnation as blasphemous. Apparently, Yale president Timothy Dwight said that if Thomas Jefferson was elected president then New England would have soon have no churches nor any virgins. A... Read more

Recent European Journal of Theology

Last updated on: May 10, 2019 at 7:44 pm By Michael F. Bird

One of my favourite journals to read is the European Journal of Theology, published in association with the Fellowship for Evangelical European Theologians (FEET). One of the best things about the journal is that each article and review has a synopsis in English, German, and French, so it is a really good way to keep up your modern academic languages. Make sure either you or your seminary subscribes! In a recent trip to Panem (otherwise known as “Sydney, Australia”) I read... Read more
