  • Fellow Limited Atonement Advocate

    Today I happened to spot the blog of a fellow advocate of Limited Atonement. Mr. Josh Walker of the Bring the Books blog has a number of interesting posts on the Atonement. 1. Demonstrates one (of several) problems with the theory that Calvin held universal atonement. 2. Demonstrates that Charles Hodge held to Limited Atonement.…

  • Humble Epistemology

    Todd Pruitt at the 1517 blog has provided some interesting thoughts on epistemology from Albert Mohler, including a catchy quotation from Gordon Clark (link): If man can know nothing truly, man can truly know nothing. We cannot know that the Bible is the Word of God, that Christ died for our sin, or that Christ…

  • Spurgeon – Quotation and Three Observations

    The following was preached by Charles Spurgeon on Sunday Evening, October 7, 1866, on the verse, “Therefore He says: Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.” (Ephesians 5:14) Of course, the following is just a snippet of this sermon. But I must close, and the last point is…

  • The real Turretin on: The Self-Authentication of Scripture

    Mark Koller at Daily Reformation, has provided a concise but meaty quotation from the real Francis Turretin on the self-authenticating property of Holy Scripture (link). Every world view has some presupposition – ours is Scripture. -TurretinFan To God be the Glory!

  • Piper and the God we Worship

    David at Thirsty Theologian has republished Piper’s thoughts relative to the issue of the God we worship (link). As David points out, Piper’s explanation is the reason Vatican II cannot possibly be right. -TurretinFan To God be the Glory!

  • The Real Turretin on: Sacraments and the True Church

    Kyle Borg at Synod of Saints has an interesting post on the importance of the sacraments. It particularly caught my eye because (though he omits Turretin’s icon from his synod of saints) he leads with a quotation from the real Turretin on the sacraments and the true church. (link) Enjoy! -TurretinFan To God be the…

  • The real Turretin on: the Atonement

    In a post that, like the last one I just linked to, I cannot fully endorse, Dr. James Galyon provides an interesting discussion of (and commentary on) the historic Reformed position of the atonement in contrast to the multi-intention view (source). -TurretinFan To God be the Glory!

  • The real Turretin on: Omniscience

    Jason Barnhart (link) has an interesting post in which he argues that three aspects of the Reformed view of God’s omniscience are actually a pagan inheretance. I don’t endorse his post, and if I had more time, I’d consider addressing his thesis. -TurretinFan To God be the Glory!
