While I am much more in support of the approach of BioLogos than Reasons to Believe, I’m glad to see that they are discussing. Perhaps laying out the details of each group’s approach may help Christians understand the issues more clearly.
I see very little future, however, for the day-age theory, despite its strong acceptance [...]

John Piper has suggested that the tornado that struck Minneapolis was a judgment on the ELCA for the recent change in their statement on human sexuality. Piper is a great preacher, and despite some disagreements, I love to hear him present a good gospel message, but I find this, and other similar statements, quite [...]

I want to discuss inspiration just a bit, partly because it is relevant to my next post on Biblical interpretation (I hope to post it later today), and partly because there is someone on Twitter who is spouting a great deal of nonsense with regard to parallels and borrowing.
(For those interested, he is @BibleAlsoSays, he [...]

First, let me put away another mystery, though I doubt anyone was wondering that much. I’ve been working on a couple of new book releases and the resulting schedule kept me from blogging most of the week. No mystery there!
The word “mystery” is rather popular today, but only in the sense of something [...]

The entire post is worth reading.
There’s a great deal of good material in the blogosphere if you [...]

. . . or not. Bruce Alderman has a good post about Tipler’s efforts in this regard. (Peter Kirk has also discussed this, and both articles are well worth reading.
Physicists seem to look at the world a bit differently than I do, and I often don’t understand what they’re up to, but for [...]

I tend to talk a great deal about how we should approach those of other faiths. It’s something that interests me a great deal. Going way back to the early days of this blog, I find the post Witnessing without being a Pest.
Let me note here, however, that I’m not calling on any [...]

I found a new blog (for me) this week via John Meunier–To Him Which is Yes. I was particularly attracted by the post John linked to, Bringing back belief.
Jack Burden, the blogger, tells the story of how he silenced a committee meeting, doubtless an extremely useful skill under any circumstances, but the point is [...]

I have delayed the final post in my notes on Ben Witherington’s book What Have They Done with Jesus? for quite some time. In the meantime I have read Backham’s book Jesus and the Eyewitnesses [my review].
Bauckham provides a much more coherent account of the principles that it appears Witherington is using, partially because he [...]
