J.C. Ryle on the Power of the Bible: Its reliability and impact
There has been no other book in the world’s history that has transformed lives and civilized society more than the Christian Bible.

Christians do not find the popularity of the Scriptures surprising because traditional practice…

The Priestess Question, and other Evils of “Christological Subversion”
Witt Responds Witt responded to my first essay in this series. In response to earlier criticisms of his book, Witt announced that there were “key chapters” untouched by those criticisms. Now, in response to my first essay, he has announced I didn’t address his “key point.” A recent reviewer claims to have read this essay:…

Confronting William G. Witt’s “Icons of Christ”
In his tome Icons of Christ, William G Witt compiles a great list of arguments against Christian priestesses and sets out to refute them all.

The Baptist Sacrament
I read Mere Orthodoxy’s “The Case for Baptist Anglicans” with great interest as an Anglican pastor in North Texas where the Baptist faith is the dominant religion. Accompanying Christians who have been catechized as Baptist is a core part of the job which I consider a privilege, having grown up Southern Baptist myself. The ecumenical…
