Phil, could I get an e-mail address—to contact you off the blog?

I appreciate your material on Ridderbos. I have found him very helpful. Both The Coming of the Kingdom and Paul have excellent Scripture indices. I frequently check those when preparing to preach on either the Gospels or a letter of Paul’s.

Thanks!

Hey, Chad,

No need to ask permission to link to anything you find helpful here or to add this blog to your blogroll.

I am working on my dissertation for the Ph.D. in Theology at Bob Jones University.

I checked out your blog and subscribed to it. Looks very helpful.

Hi Phil,

Thanks for the summary. Can I link this to my blog? And can I add you to my blogroll, it appears we share similar perspectives or at least enjoy the same things (e.g., Ridderbos, Westerholm, etc)?

Also, where are you a student at?

Thanks a lot for this. I have his work on Paul and the Kingdom, but have yet to read them. I am looking forward to getting to know this man.

J. B.,

Glad you found it helpful.

Hmm. I didn’t read Paul cover to cover, but I didn’t think the portions that I did read were difficult or dry. Maybe I was just so enthralled with the new ideas that Ridderbos was exposing me to that I overlooked the dryness and difficultly of the translation.

I’d be interested to hear what others think.

Thanks so much for this—very useful! I have to say though that I disagree with DML-J on the “readability” of the translation of Paul. We used to say around seminary that Dr. X translated Ridderbos’s words . . . but not his syntax. You might add this quote from Reggie Kidd: “It [the Paul book] is dry as dust; but some of it’s gold dust.”
