I know I’ve been doing a lot of quoting recently, but my blogging time is limited and quoting is easier than writing—not to mention that you’d probably rather read Gunton’s perspective on the Trinity than mine anyway.
I stumbled across this relevant bit from Colin Gunton in his The Promise of Trinitarian Theology, which I have [...]
I just installed the new Moulton-Howard-Turner Greek Grammar Collection from Logos.
It comes with the four volumes of A Grammar of New Testament Greek:
Vol. 1: Prolegomena by James H. Moulton
Vol. 2: Accidence and Word-Formation by James H. Moulton and Wilbert F. Howard
Vol. 3: Syntax by Nigel Turner
Vol. 4: Style by Nigel Turner
It also includes Turner’s volume [...]

Here it is to be recalled that in the Bible and in the early church, the title “Father” is used in two cognate ways: in reference to the Godhead and to the person of the Father. Torrance argues that the Cappadocians’ error [...]
Pastor Timothy Mills recently submitted a review of Wayne Grudem’s Systematic Theology to our PastorBookshelf Reviews website. His comments were generally positive, but not as positive as I would have hoped for such a fine introduction to biblical doctrine.
