Credo’s Cache

Each week we will be highlighting important resources. Check back each Friday to see what we have dug up for you. From this week’s cache:

1. And What About Divorce?: By Kevin DeYoung – DeYoung says: “So yes, there are plank-eyed Christians among us. The evangelical church, in many places, gave up and caved in on divorce and remarriage. But the remedy to this negligence is not more negligence.”

2. Our Fearful Apologetic: By Andrew Barber – Barber notes: “I’m not asking Christians to give up our convictions. There is much to be admired about evangelicals’ pro­-life sacrifices and desire for doctrinal purity, for example. But if our convictions don’t lead us to faithfully love God and man, what do they accomplish?”

3. Evangelical Alignment and the Question of Battle-Lines: By Andrew Wilson – Wilson says: “There are many people for whom my theological quibbles make no difference at all to our relationship, our partnership in the gospel, or our unity. There are others for whom they make a massive difference.”

4. 10 Characteristics of Mr. Controller: By David Murray – Murray says: “I’m trying to figure out how to distinguish between authority and authoritarianism. Any help you can give me would be much appreciated because while I think I can tell the difference, I’m finding it difficult to define the difference.”

5. Fundamentalist Arguments Against Fundamentalism: By Craig Evans – Evans notes: “Ehrman is not attacking a straw man, for the object of his attacks does indeed exist. But his books address fundamentalist readings, not mainstream understandings of the Bible and the stories it tells.”
