The Erroneous Epistemology of Multiple Version Onlyism part six
Recently I preached for 3-4 years on Sunday mornings through the book of Isaiah. As I went through that monumental book of all human history, I got a feel for the problems that men have with God. What we read there can serve as a microcosm for men of all eras. A major issue for […]
Big Talk with Little to Show at Evangelical Textual Criticism
The blog called Evangelical Textual Criticism referenced my epistemology series and some discussion ensued in the comment section. Imagine a 50 gallon aquarium with several fish swimming around in it, thinking that they represent the whole ocean. Things that are said are credible in the fish tank. That doesn’t mean they actually do stand up […]
Harvard Joins the Audience of Brandenburg and What Is Truth
Harvard University has included What Is Truth in its curriculum as part of “The Pluralism Project.” Harvard researcher Ellie Pierce quoted a post on What Is Truth as part of a case for class discussion and education. She titled it “Fliers at a Peace Parade.” It seems that Harvard agrees that Brandenburg and What Is […]
The Erroneous Epistemology of Multiple Version Onlyism part five
Gregory Boyd in his book, God of the Possible (2000), wrote in a section (p. 107) entitled, “Integration of Theology and Recent Scientific Advances”: As Christians, we of course want our worldview to be fundamentally derived from God’s Word, not the climate of opinion that happens to prevail in the world in which we live. […]
The Erroneous Epistemology of Multiple Version Onlyism part four
I was in a hotel in southern California last week and the USA Today newspaper showed up in the hallway in front of the door to my room. I paged through it until I got to an article in the opinion section, entitled Fightin’ Words. It was a positive review of Bart Ehrman’s book Jesus, […]
Oft Quoted on Economic Matters
I speak hyperbole. And yet, I had a recent spree, unnoticed by the realm of Christianity, of being quoted in relations to the state of the economy. My heads up began with someone commenting on an old post. I wondered why. I googled. I found out. One was Salon Magazine, also called Salon.com. That’s a […]
The Proper Understanding of Affections
The Great Awakening was perhaps the second most important era in American history after the founding of the Jamestown colony in 1607. The Great Awakening describes a period in the mid 1730s to early 1740s in England and its colonies that resulted in a massive number of conversions and increased devotion to God’s Word. In […]
The Erroneous Epistemology of Multiple Version Onlyism part three
In his private notebooks, Jonathan Edwards wrote: If we look over all the accounts we have of the several nations of the earth, and consider everything that has been advanced by any or all of the philosophers, we can meet with nothing to induce us to think that the first religion of the world was […]
The Erroneous Epistemology of Multiple Version Onlyism part two
How do we know what we know? David Hume insisted that all beliefs be based upon evidence and that the reality of evil was proof that God didn’t actually exist. Post- enlightenment epistemology demands the search of all our beliefs by reason, so that a belief without support of evidence is irrational. But there is […]
The Erroneous Epistemology of Multiple Version Onlyism part one
Recently in our discussion about the perfect preservation of Scripture, I’ve been told that my problem is a faulty epistemology. Here are some quotes from Jason in the comment section: Frankly, your hermeneutic and your exegesis are scary, but your epistemology is even more scary. As I’ve mentioned before, the root of this issue is […]
