A podcast you should be listening to

Last updated on: July 15, 2021 at 8:14 am   By Coyle Neal

Most of the time we review books and movies here on Schaeffer’s Ghost, but every once in a while there’s a bit of entertainment culture that’s worth highlighting apart from what’s on the big screen or coming off the presses. Whether something like this should be entertainment culture is a different question, no doubt. But if you’re not listening to Christianity Today‘s new podcast “The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill,” you are missing out on a gem. So yes, this is... Read more

This post is part of a series walking through the second volume of Abraham Kuyper’s Common Grace. Particular grace and common grace find unity in Providence. This is important because it holds the two doctrines as simultaneously united and “independent actions.” (404-405) Too much separation between the two would fragment our views, our selves, and our morals. And yet, we tend to think of Providence as stuff God does “outside of saving grace”, even when true religion is gone “Providence” is... Read more

This post is part of a series walking through the second volume of Abraham Kuyper’s Common Grace. Kuyper begins chapter 42 with a recap of holiness at the core of the person as compared with our sinful external actions, unfortunately using the example of skin color [sigh]. Though, as the footnote points out, Kuyper doesn’t draw value judgments here. Also as it points out, Kuyper does draw such judgments elsewhere. The point of this all is that we are getting into... Read more

Common Grace, 2.41

Last updated on: June 8, 2021 at 2:52 pm   By Coyle Neal

This post is part of a series walking through the second volume of Abraham Kuyper’s Common Grace. Continuing his discussion of the nature of the person, Kuyper reiterates that the regenerate are not two ‘persons’, but rather are two ‘selves.’ Or possibly ‘selfs,’ I’m not sure. We’ve seen that the one may be dormant until conversion, but there is more that distinguishes them than that feature. We know this because even the converted is split–part is driven by the new man,... Read more
