If you use multiple computers (e.g., a desktop and a laptop or a home computer and a work computer), from time to time you probably find yourself in need of something from your other computer when it’s not easily accessible.

Intratrinitarian Reconciliation?
Jenson, Robert W. “Reconciliation in God.” In The Theology of Reconciliation, edited by Colin E. Gunton, 158–66. London: T&T Clark, 2003.1 Jenson’s opening lines set the stage for his main thesis: When I am invited to speak at a conference, I know I am supposed to indulge in the sort of trinitarian and christological speculation […]
Dan Phillips on John Frame

In many ways Letham represents a mediating position when it comes to the debates regarding subordination in the Trinity. He differs from someone like Wayne Grudem and maintains that talk […]
