The first is by Dan Bouchelle about ministers and how they “Willingly Walk into a World of Pain“. The stories he tells are honest, touching and will give you a whole new appreciation for your minister. The second is by Ben Witheringon, “Family First – Not a Biblical Viewpoint“. I wrestled with this post. I […]

Why Mormonism is Not Christianity – Ben Witherington
August 27th, 2012 · 1 Comment · Bible, Christianity, Christology, Church, Religion, Theology
Have a read – Why Mormonism is Not Christianity It is a really good read but if you don’t have the time the thumbnail sketch.

Ben Witherington on Hermeneutics
April 26th, 2011 · No Comments · Bible, Bible Resources, Bible Study, Biblical Interpretation, Christianity, New Testament, Old Testament, Religion
While looking back at Witherington’s Pagan Christianity material I ran across a really well written piece on hermeneutics. Any preacher, Bible class teacher, elder, or Christian in general could learn a lot from this. Hermeneutics – What is it and why do Bible readers need it.

Ben Witherington on Salvation and Eternal Security
November 19th, 2008 · No Comments · Apostle Paul, Bible, Christianity, New Testament, Religion, Romans
I don’t like removing a quote entirely from its context and slapping on a heading that doesn’t quite fit but I hope that the above heading does justice to what Ben Witherington was writing in his Romans commentary regarding Romans 1:16-18. “One can say, ‘I have been saved, I am being saved, and I will […]
