It’s not that long back that whenever I wrote or spoke about things like Doug Wilson, Federal Vision and Christian Nationalism that I would get the pushback “why are you even talking about them?” In recent weeks the pushback on Christian Nationalism has become “you need to be very careful about what you say about… Continue reading Doug Wilson and Christian Nationalism

Doug Wilson and understanding the past to better understand the present
Murray Campbell has written recently about people in Australia beginning to get interested in Doug Wilson. I want to pick up here on one specific thing he says in the article: As a quick aside, the Doug Wilson who was preaching and teaching some useful and valuable ideas a decade ago is quite different from… Continue reading Doug Wilson and understanding the past to better understand the present
Canon fodder in Wilson’s culture war
You can read Doug Wilson’s response to the shooting of Charlie Kirk here. Now, over the past few days, I’ve been thinking here about how we should respond to Kirk’s death. I’ve observed that there have been some (not all) on the left who have been quick to demonise him. They didn’t like what he… Continue reading Canon fodder in Wilson’s culture war
Doug Wilson and deception in a time of war – one of the challenges with engaging with Federal Vision
I’ve started to engage with Federal Vision theology and have some more posts planned. However, I want to deal early on with one specific and important issue that has made engaging with The Federal Vision particularly difficult. Have a read of this particular article by Doug Wilson. He repeats his views found here in a… Continue reading Doug Wilson and deception in a time of war – one of the challenges with engaging with Federal Vision
The Return of the Federal Vision?
When I went to theological college in 2006, I went against the backdrop of three major theological controversies that had been brewing in Evangelical circles. I was familiar with two of them, Open Theism and the controversy surrounding Steve Chalke and Penal Substitution. However, I was completely unaware of the third. Apparently, a few years… Continue reading The Return of the Federal Vision?
Selden College – the questions are still there
I recently wrote about a new college set up in Oxford that purports to be a Classical Christian College. Now I appreciate that the college are unlikely to pick up on my little blog. However, I was hoping to encourage people to at least ask those questions themselves before getting involved in promoting Selden College. … Continue reading Selden College – the questions are still there
Checking out a new “Christian” higher education college -is it all as it seems?
I recently read a news article in Evangelicals Now about a unique new college being set up in Oxford with Christian aims and ethos. Unfortunately, the article left unsaid a lot of crucial things about the college. I had a closer look at the website and here are some things that should concern you before… Continue reading Checking out a new “Christian” higher education college -is it all as it seems?
The danger of Federal Vision
I’ve mentioned the so-called Federal Vision a few times here. This is the position associated with James Jordan, Peter Leithart and especially Doug Wilson. I thought it was worth revisiting it as my social media timeline has been busy again recently for some reason with discussion about Wilson and Federal Vision. I think as well… Continue reading The danger of Federal Vision
All the single ladies?
I’ve written before about how men in the church should talk to and shouldn’t talk to and about women. Sadly, there was a horrific example of how not to talk about women in an interview between Doug Wilson and Michael Foster posted recently online. The conversation is primarily about singleness but I want to pick… Continue reading All the single ladies?
Jesus and John Wayne (Review)
One of the big hitter books of the last year has been Jesus and John Wayne by Kristin Kobes Du Mez. It’s also one of the books mentioned by Jonathan Leeman in article about deconstruction. I’ve been working through the list and have just completed Du Mez’s book. Du Mez is a historian and so… Continue reading Jesus and John Wayne (Review)
