The Startling History of Capitol Hill Baptist Church

Body

“Caleb Morell’s A Light on the Hill takes the long view. This history of Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington, D.C., reminds us that the work is no less God’s work when we’re arguing about pandemic church closures, prohibition, or integration.” - Acton

Book Summary: The Virgin Birth According to Temple Christology

The virgin birth of Christ has always been proclaimed as a doctrine to be believed by the church. It is heralded as a historical event which must be accepted as a fundamental or core truth of the Christian faith. For example, The Apostles’ Creed states:

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary…

Similar statements appear in The Nicene Creed, The Chalcedonian Creed, and The Athanasian Creed.

Body

“…though Pagel’s ideas are presented as the latest in critical scholarship, they’re the same tired claims that have been trotted out since the nineteenth century, if not earlier. Even worse, the author fails to mention that the arguments against biblical accuracy and the historicity of Jesus have been repudiated time and again, by multiple generations of Biblical scholars.” - Breakpoint
