Biblical Theology

More and more I believe that it is important that one develop a robust Biblical Theology that can inform one’s systematic theology which ultimately informs ones expositions of Scripture Listen to Mark Dever do this in one exposition from all of scripture: 9Marks at Southeastern 2010 – Biblical Theology: Session 1 from Southeastern Seminary on Vimeo. Preaching from Genesis through Revelation, Mark Dever unfolds the beautiful plan of God, evident in Scripture from beginning to end. see also www.disciplemaking.net

The Various Branches of New Covenant Theology

The Various Branches of New Covenant Theology via Christ, Our Covenant by Steve Fuchs on 2/28/09 Like other systems of theology, there are various branches of New Covenant Theology (NCT). Although all proponents of each branch believe Christ fulfilled the Old Covenant (OC) Laws perfectly in his person, and insist on faith in his work and person for salvation, there are at least 4 branches of NCT that can be distinguished from one another. This analysis is relatively brief in its attempt to give an overview of the current strains of NCT, some of which you may already be familiar

Good Biblical dialogue

Many dialogues today are very immature from my perspective.  I love it when believers can talk about Scripture and their beliefs in a winsome and humble way in an effort to learn from each other and not just talking past each other.  I love it when other brothers and sisters in Christ can dialog in a agreeable way over their different perspectives in an effort to learn and grow to know Christ more fully. http://vimeo.com/24828722 Chandler, Horton, Keller on How to Disagree from The Gospel Coalition on Vimeo.The terms of theological have changed rapidly and dramatically with the spread of the internet.

My Promise / Fulfillment Theology

One of the reasons I cannot hold to Classical Covenant Theology, and much more prefer New Covenant Theology or what I call Promise / Fulfillment Theology is that I cannot buy into the idea of “covenant children” within the New covenant since the Bible is clear to me that only regenerate believers are included in the New Covenant (Yes I am a Baptist).  Though I highly respect some great Christian teachers who espouse the idea of “covenant children,” it (in my humble opinion – IMHO) is derived from theological preunderstandings and presuppositions rather than from proper exegesis. It may come from a desire to see those (all or some) who die in

Ten Myths About Calvinism

Below Michael Patton gives an excellent understanding of Genuine Biblical theology that is so mischaracterized by some who do not want to hold to right theological tension that is found in the scriptures. It disappoints me to see people build straw men of this position (or any other position) and then tear down that straw man position that doesn’t exist. I am sure that many Christians who hold to different theological positions have experienced as well.  We Christians up to hold the whole counsel of God with the tension it reveals, instead of trying to relieve the tension by denying part

Affirm this Quote From "the Archer and the Arrow"

Do you affirm this quote on Biblical Theology from “They Archer and Arrow” by Phillip Jensen and Paul Grimmond (p.79)?: Biblical Theology will help pastors be better preachers.   The way we are using the term, ‘biblical theology’ means basically two things.  First, it is the acknowledgement that the Bible unfolds us as progressive revelation.  When God spoke to Abraham, the fullness of his character and the details of his plans for creation were not known in the way that they were subsequently revealed through the apostles.  For this reason Biblical reading always involves remembering where we are up to in God’s unfolding plan
