For all with blogs to read, a wonderful time of unanimity among neo-Cals, 2kers, theonomists, experimental Calvinists, and neo-Turretinis has prevailed. In the presence of a common foe — infallible popes, antiquity without apostles or prophets, and overdetermined historical narratives — Reformed partisans are breaking bread on various blogs, all singing in one Protestant voice.
For such a time as this, readers of Old Life, both friendly and hostile, may be inclined to give ear to an interview that Scott Clark did with the authors of the new history of Westminster Seminary California — W. Robert Godfrey and yours truly (all about me). The book is entitled A New Old School and if readers follow the links I am fairly confident they will find their way to a page where a purchase would be in order.
Let lions lie down with lambs.

Amazon has the Kindle version for sale at $4.99 but not a physical copy yet. I might buy a copy from the Westminster bookstore. I bought the Godfrey Festschrift from them. There is a nice chapter by Van Drunen on 2K in that volume and a nice chapter on the history of the URC by Venema. Also a nice chapter by D.G. “Make War No More? The Rise, Fall, and Resurrection of J. Gresham Machen’s Warrior Children”. That’s all I’ve read so far.

Good interview. Nice critiques of evangelicalism. Unfortunately as long as they have 600 in Sunday services and we have 60 they won’t be too receptive. Some will start to read & think independently and move to Reformed Churches as the Spirit works, however.

I learned Calvinism in a Sunday school class from an old Methodist minister in a Methodist church in about 1983. I remember me and another kid sitting there for an hour and I would look at the clock and write down the number of seconds it would be until the class was over. I guess it sunk in, though. Only as an adult did I realize how amazing it is that I learned TULIP in that setting!

Was John Frame interviewed for the book about some of the shady characters and “Un-Reformed Ideas” that are being thunk at this Escondido school? He may have been too busy developing his theologies of Reformed dancing and image-making…

I’ve bought it on Kindle and am enjoying it. Interested to read about the deliberate emphasis on training pastors and preachers; thus not offering higher research degrees.
