Phenomenal summary of the historic Baptist position. Few people know the history and theology better than Dr. Nettles.

Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.?

Because we gave them that L in 1776.

Union with Christ is the fountainhead of every grace. Apart from him we can do nothing; in him, we possess everything.

For the saint, heaven…would be void and stale without God; and when he lives in communion with God he cares for nothing on earth, for the love of God far transcends all other goods- Bavinck

[Popular Polemics @Poppolemics]

Christ is God expressed and God given- Bavinck

[Popular Polemics @Poppolemics]

God, and God alone, is man’s highest good- Bavinck

Great question!

If you preach on Acts or Paul, I highly encourage you to pick up Schreiner's Handbook on Acts and Paul's Letters. 🪎

This Baker Handbook series doesn't get bogged down in the minute details of the text. It clearly presents the main idea in a way that accessible and rich.

A new discourse analysis tool just dropped. Oh, and it's free! 🪎

Tracing the logical flow of a text is crucial to exegesis, so I'm thrilled to see another app that supports this method.

But where the Scripture has no tongue to speak, we must have no ear to hear; and therefore we shall not undertake to determine what the Scripture has not determined- Christopher Love in Grace

Discipleship is a call, a vocation, to follow Jesus everywhere, before everyone, at every time- Vanhoozer in Hearers & Doers

[Benjamin L. Gladd @DrGladd]

"The Old Testament authors did not exhaustively understand the meaning, implications, and possible applications of all that they wrote. Subsequently, New Testament Scripture interprets the Old Testament Scripture by expanding its meaning, seeing new implications in it and giving it new applications. I believe, however, that it can be demonstrated that this expansion does not contravene the integrity of the earlier texts but rather develops them in a way which is consistent with the Old Testament author’s understanding of the way in which God interacts with his people…later parts of the canon draw out and explain more clearly the earlier parts.”

-G. K. Beale

Catholicism is a pagan religion and it does nobody any good to pretend otherwise.

[Popular Polemics @Poppolemics]

Don't sleep on Scriptura if you are studying the Psalms. They have some excellent stuff.

G. K. Beale's NSBT sequel to The Temple and the Church's Mission has arrived. 🕍🌳

His upcoming volume on the wilderness won't disappoint. 🏜️

Here's a taste:

"Instead of the temple of God’s presence and Spirit expanding to cover the earth, now, instead, the
infertile wilderness expanded as a fiendish mirror image from fertile Eden. The wilderness remained dominant and it became infected with a permeating spiritually corrupt dimension, spreading spiritually through peoples’ sin."

Eckhard Schnabel’s “Early Christian Mission” is edifying. I am about halfway through volume 1 and it is excellent. It is a shame the volumes are so expensive now.
