Calvin’s Sacramental Rule
Posted in calvin, sacraments on March 30, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Calvin gives us one hermeneutical key to understanding his view of the sacraments when he says:
The rule which the pious ought always to observe is, whenever they see the symbols instituted by the Lord, to think and feel surely persuaded that the truth of the thing signified is also present.
~ Institutes 4.17.10

Posted in Clement of Alexandria, Daniel Waterland, eucharist on March 28, 2009 | 1 Comment »

Posted in Athanasius, CREC, church history on March 11, 2009 | 3 Comments »
When the CREC split into its various regional presbyteries, the Southeastern region, spanning from Louisiana to South Carolina, chose the name “Athanasius” for our presbytery. We had our first meeting last weekend, and as part of the proceedings, I presented my paper on Athanasius.

Righteous Gentiles
Posted in law of god, npp on March 8, 2009 | 1 Comment »
One of the most neglected categories, even in “Biblical Theology,” is that of the Old Testament “Righteous Gentile.” The assumption is that the Jews, as special people of God, are coterminous with the saved in the Old World. “Covenant Theology” especially propagates this, as “the Church” is often equated with “Israel.” However, upon closer inspection, [...]
