Study the Bible in a Cohort

Last updated on: February 8, 2019 at 6:25 pm By Scot McKnight

I’ve been teaching for 37 years and the best experiences I have had teaching have been the cohorts at Northern Seminary. The combination of a week-long intensive with an active Facebook cohort page along with trips abroad for 10plus days … the classes become a fellowship of friends, of fellow followers of Jesus, and a classroom joy that transcends ordinary classes. Think of joining us this summer. We begin with a one-week intensive but then the classes during the school... Read more

The First Testament: A Pastor’s Take

Last updated on: February 6, 2019 at 4:51 pm By Scot McKnight

So begins a series of reviews of John Goldingay, The First Testament. This post is by Dan Hanlon, an Anglican missioner to Rwanda, and a student at Northern Seminary. What is your go-to translation for teaching, for preaching, for writing? How does FT compare with your go-to translation? Recently my go-to translation for preaching and Bible teaching has been the English Standard Version (ESV). This isn’t necessarily my favorite, although the longer I use it the more I have gotten...

Preaching Romans

Last updated on: February 9, 2019 at 9:50 am By Scot McKnight

Over the years I met many pastors/preachers who told me they were afraid to preach Romans. Why? Because the “new” perspective was attractive but they were both unsure of how to preach it that way and others were worried that some congregants would be disturbed. Because the scholarship on Paul and Romans both demonstrates fierce disagreements and lots and lots of reading to understand — starting with E.P. Sanders and J.C. Beker and James D.G. Dunn and N.T. Wright and... Read more

A Time For The SBC To Refocus

Last updated on: February 10, 2019 at 8:59 pm By Scot McKnight

The Houston Chronicle exposed pastors and leaders and churches, but the exposure was (thankfully) delicate in detail but clear in its calling out. The result: pastors aren’t what many think; churches too often protect; leaders hide under the cover of the autonomy of a local church. Some significant voices in the SBC stood up to say the perpetrators are morally wrong and damaging the gospel and our Lord. Fine, but that’s not the point. Once again, the focus is on... Read more

Prayer For Liberation

Last updated on: February 10, 2019 at 7:22 am By Scot McKnight

Set us free, O God, from the bondage of our sins, and give us the liberty of that abundant life which you have made known to us in your Son our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. BCP Read more

Frank Robinson

Last updated on: February 8, 2019 at 6:34 pm By Scot McKnight

I saw, when I was a youngster, Frank Robinson play for the Reds against the Cubs. He was a treasured baseball card, too. He tore it up for the Orioles and remained a firm reminder throughout the following decades of a game that resisted him as a black man, but then embraced him as a baseball great. Frank Robinson, a kind of second generation African American MLB player, refused to surrender an inch on respect for himself as a man,... Read more

My dear wife, Kris, loved this book — post clip from Andy LePeau: Yes, in Factfulness, Hans Rosling regularly emphasizes that a lot of bad things are happening that we still need to work on. His main question, though, is Why don’t we know about all this good news? He offers a number of reasons. One is that those in the media like to emphasize the dramatic and potentially fearful which captures attention (and advertising dollars). We know China is a... Read more

The Mission Of Christoformity

Last updated on: February 8, 2019 at 9:23 am By Scot McKnight

The Mission of Christoformity (Palcon 2018) – KR 120 The central mission of the Church is to foster a culture of christoformity. Jesus invites the Church to be like Him and the people of the church to be formed to the pattern of His life. In order to do this, leaders and all members of the church must focus on people, cleave to the Lord, and live a unique life from the broken world. Learn more about Palcon here >>... Read more

Halftime Adjustments

Last updated on: February 7, 2019 at 9:30 pm By Scot McKnight

By Mike Glenn With the Super Bowl over, I’ve now entered my annual season of mourning waiting for football season to return. I do have spring training and the pitchers and catchers will be reporting to begin baseball, but let’s face it. Baseball is fun when it gets started and then when we get close to the playoffs, but there’s a long, long season in between. So, if there’s a ball game on, I’m usually watching it. When I was...

A Cascade of Apologies by Leading Democrats

Last updated on: February 8, 2019 at 1:19 pm By Scot McKnight

It’s a surprise to some, but a few candidates for 2020’s Democrat contest are apologizing before the heat and not rationalizing after the heat. Good for them, and I hope Democrats forgive them, which they are sure to do. What I hope more is that if any leader apologizes for his or her past actions that others will forgive them. This has not been the way of social media outrage, however. If your tribe apologizes, forgive; if the other tribe... Read more
