Christian Hierarchies: Yes or No?

Last updated on: September 15, 2019 at 9:11 am By Scot McKnight

Andrew Bartlett, in his new book Men and Women in Christ (MWiC), asks if Paul affirms or denies hierarchies in Christian marriage? Good question. He explores these questions with finesse and nuance and even-handedness. Being willing to take the lowest place for the good of others is at the heart of Christian love and living. Jesus taught this and also lived it, both in his ministry and supremely at the cross (Mark 10:42-45;John 13:1-17; 15:12-17; Phil. 2:5- -8). Because Paul’s view of the... Read more

Hasn’t Science Disproved Christianity? (RJS)

Last updated on: September 16, 2019 at 9:24 pm By RJS

This is the next question in Rebecca McLaughlin’s new book Confronting Christianity: 12 Hard Questions for the World’s Largest Religion. Anyone who has read my posts over the years will know that my answer to this question is a resounding no. Rebecca agrees and runs through a number of arguments. I’ll take some of her points, but approach the question from a slightly different angle. First, what is the essence of Christianity? The Apostle’s Creed (see below) is a good... Read more

Last updated on: September 19, 2019 at 1:27 pm By Scot McKnight

We continue with our series by Ruth Tucker, and we want to know (as well) your best believe-it-or-not in the Bible. by Ruth Tucker Last week I focused on unbelievable stories in church history. What about all those believe-it-or-not stories in the Bible? And how do I as a historian assess them? I make the following confession in Parade of Faith: This chapter on the New Testament era is foundational—the raison d’etre for the entire book. Without the first witnesses of... Read more

Marks of a Good Teacher: What are they?

Last updated on: September 15, 2019 at 8:45 am By Scot McKnight

What were the traits of your favorite teachers? Source: By Rob Jenkins MAY 31, 2016 Roughly a year ago, I wrote a column on “The 4 Properties of Powerful Teachers,” and named “personality” as one of those qualities. While recognizing that everyone is different, and that personality isn’t necessarily something we can control, I was attempting to identify key characteristics that most of my best teachers, from kindergarten through graduate school, had in common. When I say “best teachers,” I’m not just talking... Read more

Willow Creek, What’s a Pastor?

Last updated on: September 14, 2019 at 1:25 pm By Scot McKnight

I’ve had two stints as a professor in a seminary, schools designed to educate those in the church and especially those called into its various ministries. Two decades of my teaching career. My first stint involved a massing learning curve about pastors while the second stint, at Northern Seminary, is (what I think is) my sweet spot. I love teaching students who love the church. While we have plenty of students who are not going to be senior or teaching... Read more

Making U-Turns

Last updated on: September 12, 2019 at 7:16 pm By Scot McKnight

By Mike Glenn If you’re like me, you’ve grown accustomed to a gentle female voice interrupting your driving experience instructing you to “at the nearest safe exit, make a U-turn”. That gentle reminder is telling you you’ve made a wrong turn or missed a turn – or well, anyway, you’ve messed up and if you don’t turn around, you’re going to be more messed up. Your map app won’t let you get too far off the prescribed path before alerting... Read more
