Ignatius Press is having a nice sale on a number of volumes. I just picked up Hans Urs von Balthasar’s three-volume Theo-Logic: Theological Logical Theory in hardback for just $27. That’s just a tad more than the cost of one of the volumes at Amazon. Here are the three volumes in the set: Theo-Logic: Theological […]
Theology
The Second Best Book in the World
I read an endorsement recently that really grabbed my attention. A well-known individual described a book that is not very well known in these terms: This book is much better than any other book in the world, excepting the Bible, in my opinion. The individual was Jonathan Edwards. The book was Peter Van Mastricht’s A […]
Two New Theology Books Now on My Wishlist
P&R just published J. van Genderen & W. H. Velema’s Concise Reformed Dogmatics, which the publisher describes as “a crystallization of the best confessionally Reformed Dutch thought in a single, manageable English-language volume.” The translation is the merger of Gerrit Bilkes’s and Ed M. van der Maas’s separate English translations of the original 1992 Dutch […]

Does the McCall–Yandell Argument Work? Feinberg Says No
I commented briefly in the second half of this post on why I think that the McCall–Yandell argument fails. (To get up to speed on what that argument is, see my two previous posts here and here.) A couple of days ago I stumbled across a quote in John Feinberg’s No One Like Him that […]
Does Eternal Subordination Entail a Denial of Homoousion?
In tonight’s debate, McCall and Yandell tried to make the case that the eternal subordination of the Son to the Father entails a denial of homoousion. The Argument Here’s their argument: If the Son is eternally subordinate to the Father in all possible worlds, then the Son is necessarily subordinate to the Father. If the […]
My Question for Dr. Yandell
My good friend Andy Naselli is sitting on the front row watching and live blogging the debate. He asked me if I wanted to ask a question, so I sent this: If the Son is necessarily the Son and the Father is necessarily not the Son, then the Son is essentially the Son and the Father […]
