By Timothy Gatewood | July 31, 2018 | 0

In recent posts, I have been introducing you to key persons among the Apostolic Fathers. The Apostolic Fathers are the authors of the earliest Christian writings after the period of the Apostles. The writings span the end of the first century until the middle of the second. For some of the writings of the Apostolic…

The Befriending God

By Timothy Gatewood | July 30, 2018 | 0

One of our first glimpses of restored friendship in the Bible appears in a quite unlikely place: a genealogy.[1] The list of names in Genesis 5 repeats the phrase “and he died.” Every death, in every generation, confirms that sin remained and friendships ended. Yet one man broke the pattern: Enoch, who didn’t die but…

Themes and Typology in Exodus

By Timothy Gatewood | July 27, 2018 | 0

Many biblical patterns receive attention in the book of Exodus, so many that it would be difficult to put together the rest of the Bible without it. Covenant, salvation, the ten commandments, knowing God through self-revelation, Israelite institutions like the Feast of Unleavened Bread and Passover, and other themes find their introduction in Exodus. For…

Barrett’s Book Notes: Thomas Aquinas

By Timothy Gatewood | July 26, 2018 | 0

Brian Davies. Thomas Aquinas: A Very Brief History. SPCK, 2017. It has been very encouraging to see a renaissance of interest in Thomas Aquinas. For far too long evangelicals have put Thomas aside, allowing Roman Catholics to claim him. That is a mistake. Thomas has much to say that is of great value for Protestants,…

By Timothy Gatewood | July 25, 2018 | 0

It’s Mother’s Day. Women of the congregation are everywhere spruced up and a smidge giddier than usual. Hymn singing rises to match the levity in the room. At the first break in the service, a few deacons bring parcels of flowers to the front for distribution and the worship pastor smiles broadly as he launches…

New Credo Video: What does the resurrection have to do with the gospel?

By Timothy Gatewood | July 23, 2018 | 0

What does the resurrection have to do with the gospel? Why was it necessary for Christ not only to die on the cross but to rise from the dead? How does the resurrection ground our salvation from beginning to end? Should the resurrection change the way we share the gospel with those who do not…

Where to Turn When Tragedy Strikes

By Timothy Gatewood | July 20, 2018 | 0

When tragedy strikes, one’s spiritual life often descends into disorientation and confusion. Questions dominate conversation with God in those sorrowful first months. Three questions, in particular, seem to undergird the spiritual agony, and a sufferer will struggle to move forward and to connect with God until these questions are resolved. After the death of my…

15 Sobering Reminders About Hell (And What It Means for Us)

By Timothy Gatewood | July 18, 2018 | 0

“Resolution 55: Resolved, to endeavor to my utmost to act as I can think I should do, if I had already seen the happiness of heaven, and hell torments. July 8, 1723.” As I’ve recently re-read more of Jonathan Edwards, I am amazed at the man’s focus on eternity and his diligence to live in light…

New episode: Who Invented Christianity? Michael Kruger with Matthew Barrett

By admin | July 16, 2018 | 0

A new episode of the Credo Podcast just released: Who invented Christianity? Was Christianity an invention of the 4th and 5th centuries? Is orthodox theology merely the byproduct of power struggles, so that whoever has the political upper hand decides what is heretical? Is the high view of Jesus really a minority view in the…
