Reformation Bible Society – A Review
It was excellent! There were between 50 and 60 people in attendance. The plenary speakers did a splendid job laying the groundwork for the value and scope of the Septuagint so much so that I found myself better appreciating the LXX as an ancient resource. In like manner, I also came to better appreciate itsContinue reading “Reformation Bible Society – A Review”
Van Kleeck Jr. vs. TurretinFan – Has God Preserved the Greek New Testament in a Single Printed Edition?
Over the weekend I had the opportunity to debate the above question. Thanks again to Nick and Francis. Overall, I enjoyed the experience.

The Fallacy of Edification REQUIRES Intelligibility
The above picture is my Westminster Theological Seminary diploma for a Master of Arts in Religion. It is easily my favorite diploma. My Calvin Theological Seminary looks like a standard high school/college diploma and while my PhD diploma is just as large as my Westminster one, it is not in Latin.

Our Artless and Banal Textual Scholarship (Repost)
“It is impossible to read Shakespeare – the best of Shakespeare, not the four or five weakest plays – and not (1) recognize his genius, and (2) enjoy the plays. Not by trying to read one in a night, but rather reading it in a week, following the footnotes the first time or two, catchingContinue reading “Our Artless and Banal Textual Scholarship (Repost)”
Was B.B. Warfield’s View of the Autograph the Same as the Protestant Orthodox?
To answer this question Richard Muller [PRRD, Holy Scripture, pp. 413-414] observes, The case for Scripture as an infallible rule of faith and practice and the separate argument for a received text free from major (i.e., non-scribal) errors rests on an examination of the apographa [i.e., copies of copies] and does not seek the infiniteContinue reading “Was B.B.
