    When studying theological works, do you mark up books or

    Brethren, good day. I am curious to hear your methods of approaching studying. When reading theological works, do you take notes and then review them? Do you underline, mark, or highlight passages as you read through it, and then review them? I am personally a note taker. I take a plethora of...

    Textbooks at Union Seminary, 1865

    The following is a letter from R. L. Dabney to a seminary student. The context is that the War is over, the South is reduced to poverty, and Dabney is telling him what textbooks to try to borrow from pastors in his presbytery.

    Calvinism From Non-reformed To Reformed: Opening Perspectives

    New article series I'm running on my site at blackcalvinist.com. This is the first installment. I’ve literally been working on this article for about seventeen years. That’s roughly the amount of time I’ve been reformed. Back then, attending a solid-ish independent baptist church and directing...

    What Reformed Flavor am I?

    I know there are different kinds of reformed, though we all agree on the core reformed (confessional) standards. I wanted to know for a long time, what kind (or flavor) of reformed am I based on my beliefs? Or, what group of people who were considered reformed would my views best fit into...

    John Murray's lectures on Theology Proper

    Hi, My first post I think so please excuse me if I get something wrong. I was re-reading Frame's article about systematics and apologetics at Westminster last night (here: Systematic Theology and Apologetics at Westminster - Reformed ... [Word doc]), and again I found Frame's references to 90...

    Help a conflicted pastor

    I think I understand and agree with reformed teaching concerning oppression, Satan, and his activity. It all makes sense when reading a book or article by a reformed author. Job's boils and the Church in Smyrna seem to answer EVERY question. I honestly hope they do answer all - but after all...

    My Personal Thoughts On the TULIP (Completely Calvinist, Don't Worry)

    I hope my 'mini-message' will be a blessing to the seasoned Reformed believers. There will be some speculation, but I hope I don't pander too far into the mysteries of things. I tend to think very deeply about things, like theology. CORRECT ME IF I MESS UP ON ANY THEOLOGICAL POINTS. I AM NOT A...

    What Happened to the Church the Moment the Apostles Died?

    So, I was reading Ignatius today so that I can say (over time, of course) that I have read the works of the Church Fathers (I know that Ignatius isn't the only Church Father, but I'm starting with the Apostolic Fathers and moving forward), and I was shocked at what Ignatius, who was supposedly...

    What is "Theology"?

    Over the years, I have read many books and chapters on Theology, but I cannot recall ever coming across a precise and satisfactory one/two line definition of what "Theology" is. I know what Theology is, but defining it is a tricky task. So I put the question before you friends, What is the best...

    Is Studying Philosophy Economically Useless?

    G'day Mates. I am 17 years-old and I am currently enrolled in a Bachelor of Arts Program at a secular university. The program allows students to major in two subjects. I am currently majoring in Philosophy and have yet to confirm my second major (although, I must say, Classical Languages...

    Revisted: Is belief in the Trinity... necesary for salvation

    Part of the reason I joined the PB was to seek a sound response to the question "Is belief in the Trinity-specifically the 3 persons of God-neccesary for salvation?". I searched and found a similar thread already that existed and I didnt ever end up seeing a response (I just ended up seeing...

    Reformed & Wesleyan

    I received a full scholarship to study at Asbury Theological Seminary. So far, the readings have been pretty diverse, including some Reformed authors. As you see it, what are the similarities between the Reformed and Wesleyan perspectives? (I know there are many differences, but I'd be...

    Wisdom of Solomon/book of wisdom - Theology of the book

    Hello everyone ! What are the doctrinal points that are deficient/antibiblical in wisdom of Solomon, the apocrypha coming from the LXX ? I would really appreciate a clear and full view of the thing by someone who already read it in order to be able to read it aware of his issues. Be...

    Who's Reformed??

    This may seem like a dumb question, but what exactly does the term "reformed" mean? It seems the exact use of and application of the word in regards to an individual, church or denomination has become rather subjective and gets thrown around a lot. For instance, I hear it said from time to...

    John Hagee's theology

(at least thats what i got out of it, i could have...
