Probably “old news” for some. But something hit me in reading Keller’s (generally good) book The Reason for God that some might find interesting. Tim Keller is on the part-time faculty list for Westminster Theological Seminary (PA): Timothy J. Keller Adjunct Professor of Practical Theology B.A., Bucknell University, 1972; M.Div., Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, 1975; D.Min., [...]

I have been spending a lot of time recently preparing to teach “protology” at the Iowa Bible Institute (IBI) this summer. While gathering extensive resources and attempting to read whatever I can get my hands on regarding creation and the first few chapter of Genesis, I have also been giving a lot of thought about [...]
