I can imagine a better book on the doctrine of Scripture, but that’s just because I’m imaginative. I cannot actually find a better book than Timothy Ward’s Words of Life: Scripture as the Living and Active Word of God. This is the best thing out there, the one to use in class, the one to…

It’s been a couple of months since I posted anything about my book The Deep Things of God: How the Trinity Changes Everything, but the book continues to make the rounds and find new readers. Here are some of the most interesting tidbits from recent times. Check out Crossway’s nifty 90-second trailer for the book:…

I’m planning to be up to speed with the Kindle just about the time it’s being phased out in favor of the next big thing. Call it my new media strategy. But I certainly see the benefits of e-books, and am looking forward to a trans-Atlantic flight this summer without 30 pounds of books in…

This weekend I’ll be in Snohomish, WA (way up there in the northwest corner of the country, just above Seattle) speaking on the Trinity and my book The Deep Things of God: How the Trinity Changes Everything.

I have argued that “evangelical Christians have been in reality the most thoroughly Trinitarian Christians in the history of the church.” It’s a cheeky thing to say (the review in Christianity Today called the claim “a strong one, but… not capricious”), I suppose, since it doesn’t map onto current evangelical self-understanding. But I tried to…

In 1864, Scottish theologian Robert Candlish gave a series of lectures in Edinburgh on the theology of the Fatherhood of God. As he ended those lectures, he said “I do so with the feeling that, however inadequately I have handled my great theme, I have at least thrown out some suggestive thoughts, and in the…

Though it happened on November 11 of 2010, I just learned of the passing of English Dominican scholar Edmund Hill. Fergus Kerr, O.P. wrote a good obituary of him here. He had a long and eventful teaching career in South Africa (where he made himself persona non grata by criticizing the Apartheid policy) and at…
