Does the McCall–Yandell Argument Work? Feinberg Says No

October 20, 2008 by Phil Gons

Does the McCall–Yandell Argument Work? Feinberg Says No — John Feinberg on the logic of the doctrine of the Trinity.

Ware–Grudem vs. McCall–Yandell on the Trinity

August 7, 2008 by Phil Gons

Bruce Ware, Wayne Grudem, Thomas McCall, and Keith Yandell

A few weeks ago, a friend informed me of this upcoming debate between Bruce Ware & Wayne Grudem and Tom McCall & Keith Yandell. It’s very relevant to my dissertation topic, so I’m looking forward to hearing the results. Hopefully audio and transcripts will be made available. I read a paper from Tom McCall several […]
