Often, church attendance is seen as something unnecessary to the life of the professing Christian. Yet, church is the place in which we commune with the saints and benefit from the graces and the people Christ shed His very own blood to secure.

Must God move in order to create? Short answer? No. Listen to see why!

What does Athens have to do with Jerusalem? What does philosophy have to do with theology? This is an important relationship to understand. I hope I can help clarify the question and its related concepts.

On a recent Dividing Line, James White called into question Matthew Barrett's use of "doctrinal development." I took this as an opportunity to address this very important and practical issue.

Hermeneutics is the science of textual interpretation. In this case, it is the science of Biblical interpretation, specifically. How do Bible readers derive meaning from the text? Is it in virtue of understanding what the human author intended and what his historical audience would have understood?  Find out in this podcast.

This is a walk-through of Edward Feser's FirstThings.com article and its critical observations of Jeff Johnson's book, 'The Failure of Natural Theology'.

Some have proposed Old Covenant Israel is the "root" in Romans 11, and it is that Israel in which the Gentiles are "brought in." But in light of a broader reading, is this a tenable interpretation?

How are we to understand an eternal covenant of redemption in God in light of a single essence in three relations—Father, Son, and Spirit? In other words, if there is but a single will of God (will is a property of essence, not person), how are we to understand the Father sending the Son, the Son being sent, etc.?
