Is Hank Hill Wiser than David and Tim Bayly?

By D. G. Hart | Published: June 3, 2011

The Brothers Bayly have stirred up the pot again by arguing that Tim Keller is a greater threat than Doug Wilson and the Federal Vision to the PCA. Calculating the heinousness of error is indeed a judgment call, but the Shorter Catechism does indicate that some sins are more grievous than others. As folks who… Read More→

Two-Kingdom Tuesday: How Can You Not Be 2K If You Are Spirituality of the Church?

By D. G. Hart | Published: April 5, 2011

Calvin makes it easy; you only have to get over the National Covenant, Kuyper, Bahnsen, and Wilson: My kingdom is not of this world. By these words he acknowledges that he is a king, but, so far as was necessary to prove his innocence, he clears himself of the calumny; for he declares, that there… Read More→

Kuyperians and Theonomists, Say “Hello” to the Old School Presbyterians

By D. G. Hart | Published: February 23, 2011

I continue to be amazed by the decibels of hostility and venom heaped upon 2k. From bloggers like Nelson Kloosterman, James K. A. Smith, David Koyzis, Doug Wilson, Steven Wedgeworth, Rabbi Bret and the Bayly Bros., to your average and pseudonymous commenters at various Reformed blogs, many Reformed Protestants and evangelicals believe that 2k theology… Read More→

I Did Not Know that Idaho Was In Canada

By D. G. Hart | Published: February 14, 2011

Over the weekend I was doing a little internet searching for churches that still confess the 16th and 17th century Reformed teachings on the civil magistrate’s role. Practically all of the Reformed and Presbyterian churches, both mainline and conservative, have modified the creeds of the Reformation and scholastic eras, even to the point, in the… Read More→

Barefoot, Pregnant, and Unplugged

By D. G. Hart | Published: January 18, 2011

To say that the Bayly brothers have a one track mind would be to traffic in innuendo. I do not know them well enough to speculate on their sexual desires. I presume that as ministers of the gospel and as husbands their sexual passions are properly regulated. But in a sense they do have sex… Read More→

Gospel or Lord of the Rings?

By D. G. Hart | Published: January 14, 2011

Doug Wilson is a clever fellow and arguably as much fun as a beer-drinking companion as Mike Horton. But his wit may have gotten ahead of him when he responded to Dane Ortlund’s request for a one sentence answer to the message of the Bible (thanks to Justin Taylor). Wilson wrote: Scripture tells us the… Read More→

Stellman Nails It

By D. G. Hart | Published: December 6, 2010

N. T. Wright’s recent appearance at the Evangelical Theological Society has most evangelical biblical and theological professors swooning the way that teenaged females greeted the Beatles almost fifty years ago. What is it with the American obsession with English accents (or Scottish for that matter)? In response to a post by Doug Wilson on yet… Read More→

Whither Muslims In Doug Wilson’s American Christendom?

By D. G. Hart | Published: August 20, 2010

The Kuyper of Idaho (you know, pastor, college founder, magazine editor, culture warrior – so far, no prime ministry) has spoken on the proposed mosque in New York City near Ground Zero. As complicated as the issue is, because of the delicate balance between legal freedoms and democratic politeness, Wilson has used the occasion to… Read More→

Two Kingdom Tuesday: Doug Wilson Gets It More Than Chuck Colson

By D. G. Hart | Published: June 29, 2010

The latter has written a piece for Christianity Today in which he argues that Christian creeds should inform the U.S. search for a national identity: I believe, then, that for national identity to be salient in the midst of our changing society, we need to promote a recommitment to our creeds, a respect for American… Read More→

This and That’s Big Adventure

By D. G. Hart | Published: April 3, 2010

For those who may be wondering why N.T. Wright is speaking at the church of one of the founders of the Gospel Coalition – as in justification by faith alone coalition – Justin Taylor may have a clue. Here is a quotation from a piece in Christianity Today from 2008 on Keller and the gospel:… Read More→
