Wells That Never Run Dry (Mike Glenn)

Last updated on: June 1, 2018 at 7:00 am By Scot McKnight

Wells That Never Run Dry, by Mike Glenn When the woman at the well asked Jesus how He was going to draw water from the well without a his own jar, He told her if she knew to whom she was talking, she’d ask for water from Him. His water, He said, is like wells of water that never run dry. In a country known for its deserts, that’s a tall promise. In a world known to be desert of... Read more

Local Flood – Authoritative Cosmic Interpretation (RJS)

Last updated on: May 30, 2018 at 10:09 pm By RJS

The next proposition in The Lost World of the Flood by Tremper Longman III and John Walton puts it on the line. The flood was a real, devastating, event that lived in human memory in the ancient Near East. But it was a local flood not a global flood. The author, narrator, of Genesis intentionally portrays the flood as a global flood making rhetorical use of hyperbole to convey an inspired and essential theological message. The flood is used as...

Faith Formation As Ministry

Last updated on: May 31, 2018 at 7:24 am By Scot McKnight

In Andrew Root’s Faith Formation in a Secular Age, Root sketches three kinds of Secular: Secular 1: Sacred versus Secular Planes Secular 2: Religious versus A-religious Spaces Secular 3: The Negating of Transcendence What happens to faith in Secular 2 and 3? Faith in Secular 2 is joining and participating in an organization, an institution, a church. Formation then becomes about attendance and participation. Secular 2 and 3 are not the same and faith and faith formation in each is different.... Read more

Failing the Bible Test: Immigrants

Last updated on: May 28, 2018 at 8:47 pm By Scot McKnight

From Michael Gerson: In the name of survival, [Paul] Ryan has ignored and enabled the transformation of the GOP into an anti-immigrant party. This does not reflect his personal views. But it will be remembered as the hallmark of his time in office — the elevation of survival above solidarity. My tradition of evangelical Protestantism is, if anything, even worse. According to a recent Pew Research Center poll, white evangelical Protestants are the least likely group in America to affirm an American... Read more

Saved By The Apocalypse Of Divine Love

Last updated on: May 26, 2018 at 10:15 am By Scot McKnight

Is the Christus victor model of redemption sufficient to explain all the redemption that is needed? Many over the years have asked this about the propitiatory model — will it lead to transformed lives? Or of justification — does it lead to a life of justice? (Tim Keller has often said so.) And now the apocalyptic theologians are asking if the Christus victor model is adequate for comprehending a Christian theory of salvation. We are looking at Philip Ziegler, Militant Grace:...

So What’s New In The New Blue Parakeet?

Last updated on: May 28, 2018 at 7:56 pm By Scot McKnight

I’ve been asked a dozen times or more, What’s new in the Blue Parakeet? This is a book about reading the Bible, about bad reading habits — like making the Bible into a Rorschach inkblot where we see what we are looking for — and good reading habits — like knowing the story of the Bible so we can see how God spoke in Moses’ day in Moses’ way and see how God spoke in Jesus’ day in Jesus’ way....

The Essential Word (RJS)

Last updated on: May 29, 2018 at 8:24 pm By RJS

When do differences in detail cast doubt on the whole story? I’ve been reading through both The Lost World of Scripture by John Walton and Brent Sandy and The Lost World of the Flood by Tremper Longman and John Walton … fascinating and thought provoking books. Last week I posted the first book with a provocative title – The Word of God is Not a Book. I expected the post to raise some eyebrows and generate a reaction. I was... Read more

Was Rich Mouw Fair To Israel? Gerald McDermott Responds

Last updated on: May 25, 2018 at 1:00 pm By Scot McKnight

By Gerald McDermott In 2009 my photographer son and I walked across Galilee, staying with Jews some nights and Arabs other nights. We were doing a photo essay forChristianity Todayon what residents of the land of Jesus think about him today. More than a few times Arab Christians pulled us aside, whispered to us not to write their names, and told us the same thing: “The media would make you think that the Israeli government is our biggest enemy. But that’s... Read more
