A Few Thoughts on Sudduth’s Conversion to Hinduism »

(Update: Apparently I  confuse Michael Sudduth with Michael Butler. My apologies!). But anyway, most people these days know Sudduth from his recent book The Reformed Objection to Natural Theology. He’s converted to Hinduism. Read his own testimony here. Events such as these remind us of a number of things. But three are worth pointing out:  [...]

Israel, The Promised Land, and Covenant Theology (Nichols) »

Having a more dispensational past has left me quite “out of the loop” in regards to what “covenant theology” is and what it really means. The last few years of investigation have really allowed me to understand covenant theology. I have recently been working my way through Greg Nichols’ “Covenant Theology: A Reformed and Baptist [...]
