The Ghost Church
In the countryside of Borgloon, Belgium sits an architectural piece of art commonly known as the “Invisible Church.” Made entirely out of stacked steel plates, the structure creates an optical…
The House Church Myth
Picture the early church. If you have spent any time in modern evangelical circles, the image that likely comes to mind is romantic, intimate, and decidedly “organic.” We imagine a small group of…
The Adulterous Union
A few months ago, I was asked as part of a group to study the topic of marriage, divorce, and remarriage, especially as it concerns the debate mentioned in the essay here. The original form of this…
Philology and Piety in the Thought of Alexander Campbell
In one of my courses this semester, the first assignment was to read and respond to two articles by Alexander Campbell, one of the pioneers of the Restoration Movement. The first is his “Rules of…
A Tale of Two Bibles
For many modern Christians, a footnote in their Bible that says “Some manuscripts read...” is just a scholarly curiosity. There is a widespread assumption that the Hebrew text used as the basis for…
The Sword and the Shield
For too long, the modern Christian experience in the public square has felt like a perpetual cross-examination. We are constantly put on the witness stand, forced to answer for the Crusades, explain…
How the Church Lost Its Mission of Mercy
For years, the government’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, better known as SNAP, helped feed millions of struggling Americans. Its loss is more than an economic or political problem; it’s…
S2E4 Revelation’s Use of the Old Testament
If the Book of Revelation feels confusing, one reason might be because it assumes you already know the rest of the Bible.John's vision is not an isolated prophecy dropped into the New Testament…
S2E3 Seeing the Unseen Realm
Revelation is often treated like a coded message about the end of the world. But the more closely we read it, the more we realize that it's not just about future events; it's about unseen realities…
S2E2 A Better Decoder
Mysterious symbols, strange creatures, and terrifying judgments make Revelation seem like a code that needs to be cracked. And for decades—maybe centuries—Christians have tried to do just that.…
S2E1 Why Revelation Still Matters
For many Christians, Revelation is the last book of the Bible for a reason. It's the book we avoid, the one we skip over in our reading plans, the one we associate with wild-eyed prophecy preachers…
Bible Translation Tier List
I originally planned to do a whole series of posts reviewing different Bible translations one by one. As I started down that path, I realized that it would be a lot more fun (and more helpful) to…
Which Bible Translation Should I Use?
Bible translation discussions can stir up surprising levels of passion, and not always in healthy ways. For many Christians, the choice of Bible translation is a deeply personal one. For others, it…
The Self-Deception of Solo Christianity
You’ve probably heard someone say it before. Maybe you’ve even said it yourself: “I don’t need the Church to follow Jesus.” For many people, it sounds like freedom. It sounds authentic. Why deal with…
Theories of Atonement
It’s one of the most important questions in Christian theology, and it has inspired centuries of reflection, debate, and worship. Christians throughout history have offered various explanations for…
Against Universalism
Universalism is the belief that, in the end, all people—regardless of faith, repentance, or allegiance to Christ—will ultimately be saved. It appeals to our emotions; what faithful Christian wouldn’t…
The Harrowing of Hell
For millennia, Christians have recited the Apostles’ Creed, affirming that Jesus “was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead.” But what exactly does it mean that Christ…
Soli Deo Gloria
Of all the phrases that emerged from the Reformation, few are as moving or majestic as Soli Deo Gloria—“To God alone be the glory.” Much like Solus Christus, it seems obvious and universal. Who would…
Solas Christus
Among the Five Solas of the Reformation, Solus Christus is the most foundational. Without Him, none of the others hold. To proclaim “Christ alone” is a decisive theological claim: that Jesus Christ…
Sola Gratia
Among all the great themes of the Christian faith, few words are more frequently used than grace. We sing it in our songs, hear it in sermons, and it saturates conversations about salvation.…
