From the Archives – Audio Book Review: Nancy Pearcey’s Finding Truth

Aaron Blumer

Looking Deeper into the Problems with Covenant Theology

Though they would consciously deny the charge, it is undeniable that CT ‘s way of reading the Bible (as above) creates a major problem philosophically in that it strongly implies that God equivocates.

American Church, Don't Listen to Eric Metaxas - A Review of ‘Letter to the American Church’

SI Filings

“While Metaxas often acknowledges the influence of the ‘great Charles Colson’ (6, 43), he seems to reject the counsel of Colson, who wrote, ‘If we have learned anything in recent decades, it is that we should not roll out heavy-handed political movements that recklessly toss around God-and-country clichés and scare off our secular neighbors.’” - TGC
