Dr. Matthew Barrett's departure from the Southern Baptist Convention has taken a small corner of internet theology by storm. But more than what he's departing from, the turmoil has been caused by what he's departing to -- Anglicanism. Critics of classical theology within Baptist circles have already begun turning this into an I told you... Continue Reading →
RESOURCE: Writings of the Particular Baptist Confessors
Having been richly blessed spending time in the works of our Particular Baptist forebears, I came to realize that there was a great gap to be filled in making their works more accessible. As far as I could find, there was no easy place to go to find a thorough list of their works, making... Continue Reading →
The Particular Baptists Were Against Secular Liberty: A Vindication
Within the last few months, Dan and I have thrown our hat in the ring to retrieve the Particular Baptist view on the question of civil government. Our conclusions have bucked against the common ideas people have about the Baptist view of religious liberty. Many seem to assume that if they advocated any view of... Continue Reading →
Why I’m Not a Christian Nationalist: An Old Baptist Alternative
This post likely won't win me many friends. Obviously, Christian nationalists won't like me criticizing their position. But this post will likely frustrate many on the anti-Christian nationalist side of things too, because this post is NOT about principled pluralism, post-WWII conceptions of religious liberty, or really anything that would satisfy secular America today. Indeed,... Continue Reading →
Jerome and Antichrist: An Example of Single-Fulfillment Hermeneutics
A couple years ago, I uploaded a paper I wrote defending a single-fulfillment approach to interpreting biblical prophecy, particularly as it relates to prophecies about Christ. I alluded to Augustine as an example of how this looks in practice, where he likewise saw in the example of 2 Samuel 7:4-17 Christ alone fulfilling the prophecy,... Continue Reading →
The History of Confessional Christology
The Bible’s affirmation that Christ is both God and man yet one Christ is the mystery upon which all of redemption hangs. The Confession does not attempt to explain this mystery but presents us the classic Chalcedonian paradox, saying, “two whole, perfect, and distinct natures were inseparably joined together in one person, without conversion, composition,...

Mourning with the “Victims” of Dobbs
In light of the landmark decision to overturn the ruling that led to the federal sanction of ten holocausts worth of murder, some good, godly subversive agents brothers in high-ranking institutions have told us not to be too happy, reminding us to "rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep" (Rom....

James White is Teaching Heresy
James White used to be my favorite theologian. I remember stumbling upon him before I was even saved, during that time when God had first planted a desire to voraciously consume His Word and seek out those who claimed to believe it. It was one of his debates with a Roman Catholic (on Sola Scriptura,... Continue Reading →
Preaching Christ from the Old Testament: A Defense of Single-Fulfillment Christ-Centered Prophecy
“And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me” Luke 24:44 The entirety of Scripture centers on the Lord...

The Provenance and Audience of Galatians
Note: The following is a paper I wrote for a course at CBTS, unedited besides the headers and a few grammatical touch-ups. My prayer is that it will be helpful for those seeking to form a more accurate understanding of the chronology of Paul's ministry. I also pray it will help form a healthy skepticism...
