Janet Mefferd Is My (all about me) Hero

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

I participated in an interview this week with Janet Mefferd who has a radio show out of Dallas on the Salem Radio Network. I was not sure what to expect because in the places I have lived her syndicated show has not been available. The SRN affiliates near me have followed the Bill Bennett, Mike… Read More→

Hide the Women and Children!

By D. G. Hart | Published: January 19, 2011

As I suspected, the review that Cornel Venema wrote of The Law is Not of Faith is not nearly as damning as various and sundry critics of Westminster California have let on. I figured that if Venema had written anything really juicy – like this is view that needs to be purged from our churches… Read More→

Forensic Friday: You Say Klinean, I Say Repristination

In the current issue of the Westminster Theological Journal, William Evans from Esrkine College, has an article offering a taxonomy of the current debates over the doctrine of union. In the repristinationist wing he puts Westminster California. He even specifies that the revisionism of Shepherd and Federal Vision provoked the repristinationist effort. The other group… Read More→

Right Chronology, Wrong Westminster Professor

By D. G. Hart | Published: January 18, 2010

The controversial Kerux review of The Law Is Not of Faith is now available on line. I cannot get past the first sentence: “For the past thirty years, a shift in Reformed covenant theology has been percolating under the hot Southern California sun in Escondido.” This is an amazing opening because for thirty years the… Read More→

By D. G. Hart | Published: January 16, 2010

To honor and mark the thirtieth anniversary of the seminary where police do enforce jaywalking laws, to offer some encouragement to the faculty and staff who labor and the students who study there, and to remind readers about the point of Westminster Seminary come the following paragraphs from the institution’s first convocation.

The Virus is Spreading – Spooky

By D. G. Hart | Published: December 31, 2009

Apparently the Westminster California hermeneutic has now infected the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals. Ligon Duncan recently issued a statement that clarified difference among ACE members on whether or not to sign the Manhattan Declaration. (For some of the diversity among evangelicals or conservative Protestants, go here.) Duncan wrote: The Alliance has not historically weighed in… Read More→

The Westminster Hermeneutic Apparently Infects Kerux

By D. G. Hart | Published: December 30, 2009

And apparently, readers of the current review haven’t read very deeply in the journal. But a handy gadget at Kerux’s website reveals some items of note. First this article by Scott Clark on John 2:13-22, on Christ’s cleansing of the Temple. One lesson taught is the end of the theocratic arrangement in Israel: It is… Read More→

“Office Hours” at Westminster California

By D. G. Hart | Published: August 17, 2009

Not to be confused with the BBC show, “The Office,” and not to confuse David Brent with W. Robert Godfrey (though sometimes I wonder), Westminster California is starting a podcast entitled “Office Hours.” Season One features interviews with Godfrey and Julius Kim. A preview of the season is now available, complete with instructions and incentives… Read More→
