Kingdom In The Patristics

Last updated on: November 3, 2018 at 3:30 pm By Scot McKnight

In our series on the patristic writings, we return to 2 Clement, today’s post covering chapters 12-15. Our series uses for its text Michael Holmes, The Apostolic Fathers. What’s 2 Clement about? It’s an exhortation to faithfulness to the way of Christ in the face of threats like gnosticism, false teachers and rebellion against leaders. It reads like a sermon, and it is relentlessly a call to Christian behavior. After his first summons to repentance in chps 8-11, we turn to... Read more

What Evangelicals Need Most To Read Revelation Well

Last updated on: November 3, 2018 at 3:30 pm By Scot McKnight

There is a history of evangelical interpretation of the Book of Revelation. It lacks one thing and in its place has used flat-footed literal readings. Some of them goofy. When I was in college Tim LaHaye published a book on Revelation that was famous for its literalistic drawings of the beasts of Revelation. They were at best corny but other words would be more accurate. It is now called Revelation Unveiled. Bless his heart, but this is not how to read... Read more

The Forgiveness of Sins (RJS)

Last updated on: November 5, 2018 at 9:54 pm By RJS

I believe in … the forgiveness of sins, On this statement, toward the end of the Apostles’ Creed, J.I. Packer (Affirming the Apostles’ Creed), Ben Myers (The Apostles’ Creed), Michael Bird (What Christians ought to Believe) and Derek Vreeland (primal credo) offer distinct insights and emphasize different aspects of forgiveness. Ben Myers looks at the historical context in which the Creed developed. This phrase takes on added depth. Persecution of Christians precipitated a crisis in the church. In 250 AD... Read more

Dear John (Piper), by Ruth Tucker

Last updated on: November 12, 2018 at 9:26 pm By Scot McKnight

Dear John (as in Piper, Pastor John, the advice columnist), Do “gender roles” apply beyond marriage? Most of us would confirm that biological differences have a specific place in defining the relational dynamics of husbands and wives within a marriage covenant. But what about gender distinctions in broader society and in the workplace? The question is from anonymous young woman. Piper’s response is HERE. The question is a very serious one that all complementarians should answer straight up—what about women’s... Read more
