Today I have had the privilege of a double-dose of Albert Mohler, president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. Because I have benefitted from both encounters, I thought that I might share the wealth.
First, Dr. Mohler preached today in Southeastern Seminary’s chapel service on Luke 15 – all of it. I am not [...]

Edwards and God-Centered Knowledge
Posted in Academia, Church History, Edwards on June 28, 2007 | 1 Comment »
As some of you know, I have developed a healthy obsession with Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) over the last year. Today as I was reading Mark Noll’s The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind, the following paragraph struck me as a succinct summary of Edwards’ contribution to Christian thought:
Edwards’s efforts to think in comprehensive terms about the [...]
Latinus?
Posted in Academia on June 12, 2007 | No Comments »
One of my many summertime projects is to begin teaching myself Latin. I had two years of this language in high school, but with the exception of a few vocabulary words, I have regrettably forgotten much of what I learned. You know you’re a dork when you get pumped about studying a language which you will [...]

Nathan Finn posted a question on his blog not too long ago entitled, “Defining Fundamentalism,” where he requested his readers to supply some rudimentary definitions of fundamentalism. In the spirit of Finn-ness, I present today’s post.

Dr. Francis Beckwith, an associate professor at Baylor University and President of the Evangelical Theological Society, announced on May 5th [...]

Hot on the heels of Passion Week, Pope Benedict XVI today released his new book, Jesus of Nazareth. An academic study of early Christianity and the relevant documentary evidence, the Pope’s work is rumored to be a powerful rebuttal to the recent flurries which have arisen in popular circles over the Talpioth Tomb, the Da Vinci [...]
The Joy of Closure
Posted in Academia, Personal on April 9, 2007 | 4 Comments »
Few things in life can haunt a person’s soul more than uncertainty. Or at least this person’s soul. The lingering questions of, “When? How? What?” have the indescribable power to terrify, often leaving us in a state of frozen panic. Or at least for this person’s soul.
In December of last year I wrote a post entitled The [...]
Hope for Southeastern Students!

I know that some of the people who regularly (?) read this blog are interested in pursuing doctoral work in theology, apologetics, or other related subjects. I count myself as a part of this particular group, and so I am writing primarily with those people in mind.
One of the most nagging feelings I have as a [...]
