Topics

A topic gathers everything I’ve made on one theme—sermons, papers, and blog posts together, grouped by kind. Where a subject has an ordered series or an external bibliography, the topic page points you to it.

Doctrines

Scripture & Exegesis 16 pieces · A class, papers & word studies · 2001–2026 How to read the Bible carefully—the method, the tools, and the Greek and Hebrew behind the text—and the prior question of whether the text can be trusted at all. Apologetics 17 pieces · Papers & blog · 2001–2026 Defending the faith—presuppositional method, what Mormonism and the Watchtower teach, the reliability of the text, and a few popular proofs that don’t hold up. The Trinity 30 pieces · Doctrine, debate, publications & reviews · 2004–2022 Who God is as Father, Son, and Spirit—the positive doctrine, a long argument against eternal subordination, and the papers and reviews around both. The Deity of Christ 18 pieces · Papers, messages, blog & reviews · 2001–2025 That the man from Nazareth is the God of Israel—the Old Testament appearances, the “I am” sayings, the Colossian hymn, and the texts the Watchtower disputes. The Cross & Atonement 13 pieces · Messages, a paper & reviews · 2002–2021 What Christ accomplished in his death—the vocabulary the apostles used for it, three of the seven last words, and the books that shaped how I think about it. The Holy Spirit 9 pieces · Publications, papers, sermons & blog · 2003–2015 Who the Spirit is, what he does in the new birth and the Christian life, and whether the miraculous gifts still continue—a defense of cessationism among them. God’s Sovereignty 25 pieces · Papers, messages, blog & reviews · 1999–2023 That God actually rules—election across both Testaments, providence in a hard life, and the long Calvinist–Arminian argument worked text by text. The Divine Council 6 pieces · Blog & teaching · 2015–2026 The populated unseen world Scripture assumes—a heavenly assembly, a rebellion, and a judgment—made from the biblical text itself. The Image of God 8 pieces · Adult-class messages & blog · 2010–2017 What it means that human beings were made in God’s image—what the imago Dei is, who bears it, and what follows for how we live. Union with Christ 10 pieces · Sermons, papers & blog · 2001–2013 What it means to be joined to Christ—the two-part sermon series, the papers, the book notes, and the blog threads, in one place. Justification 23 pieces · Papers, a subject study, blog & reviews · 2006–2013 How a guilty person is declared righteous before God—the papers surveying the whole history, the Abraham series, and the blog threads on Paul, the New Perspective, and sola fide. Eschatology & the Kingdom 9 pieces · Papers, a sermon & blog · 2001–2008 The already and the not yet—a two-stage kingdom, a single second coming, and the book of Revelation read for its theology rather than its charts.

Books of the Bible

Galatians 7 pieces · Messages & blog · 2003–2024 Paul’s hardest letter—two long messages through chapters 3–4, a sermon on walking by the Spirit, and the Greek behind “the Israel of God.” Ephesians 4 pieces · Message & papers · 2000–2017 The most theology-packed letter Paul wrote, and one clause in its first chapter—ἐν ἀγάπῃ—that I have never been able to leave alone. Hebrews 10 pieces · Sermons, messages, a paper & a word study · 1999–2011 Christ the better high priest, and why that is the reason not to quit—out of a seminary year in the Greek text and the preaching that came with it.
