Science Corner: 2019 BioLogos Conference Recap

April 3, 2019 by Andy Walsh Leave a Comment

Last week I had the opportunity to attend the BioLogos conference in Baltimore, MD. Although there is a healthy dose of science, their conferences have a different feel than American Scientific Affiliation meetings, or at least the one I attended. ASA is primarily focused on scientists and students in the sciences, while BioLogos positions itself to address a broader audience. As a result, their conference attracts pastors, middle and high school teachers and interested members of the public in addition to an assortment … [Read more...] about Science Corner: 2019 BioLogos Conference Recap

The Legacy of Kuyper

October 10, 2014 by Dan Jesse Leave a Comment

The sixth and concluding post in a series  drawing from and interacting with Richard Mouw's  Abraham Kuyper: A Short and Personal Introduction  (Eerdmans, 2011). Stay tuned for additional series by Dan Jesse applying Kuyper's insights to our context in higher education. We must continue to move forward in the tradition put forth by Luther. The Reformation has a famous saying, Ecclesia reformata, semper reformanda! The church needs to reform, and forever be reforming.   What is not meant in this motto is that we … [Read more...] about The Legacy of Kuyper

Kuyper on The Role of the Church

October 3, 2014 by Dan Jesse Leave a Comment

The fifth post in a series  drawing from and interacting with Richard Mouw's  Abraham Kuyper: A Short and Personal Introduction  (Eerdmans, 2011).   Today there is a fundamental error occurring in the way we think about the Church. We confuse and collapse two concepts into one, leading us down a dangerous path. These concepts are the Church of Christ and the Kingdom of Christ. “Kuyper makes much of the fact that the Kingdom of Christ is much bigger than the institutional church.” (Mouw, 57) When we hold that the … [Read more...] about Kuyper on The Role of the Church

Introducing Kuyper’s “Sphere Sovereignty”

September 26, 2014 by Dan Jesse 5 Comments

The fourth post in a series introducing the thought of Abraham Kuyper. The series draws from and interacts with Richard Mouw's  Abraham Kuyper: A Short and Personal Introduction  (Eerdmans, 2011).   Kuyper's love of multiplicity and unity ran deep. He thought it was the bedrock of creation, as shown previously. We discussed what not to do with diversity and unity and now it falls on us to examine what the proper use of the two realities is. Kuyper's answer lays in a key concept that is not fully developed, that … [Read more...] about Introducing Kuyper’s “Sphere Sovereignty”
