Reformed Forum

The guys from Reformed Forum posted their recent interview with Richard Gamble, Professor of Systematic Theology at Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary and author of the recently released The Whole Counsel Of God, vol. 1. Their conversation ranged from the relationship of biblical theology to systematics to the massive task of compiling a biblical, systematic, and historical theology to the way in which Gamble’s new volume– 1 of 3– depends upon and compares with other biblical and systematic theologies. In addition to considering Gamble’s opus, here is the bibliography of books they discussed:

Edwards, Jonathan. A History of the Work of Redemption. New Haven: Yale University Press, 1989.
Gamble, Richard C. The Whole Counsel Of God, vol. 1. Presbyterian & Reformed Pub Co, 2008.

One more thing, they gave an introductory plug for Greg Wills new book on the history of Southern Seminary (Gregory Wills, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, 1859-2009. New York: Oxford University Press, 2009).

The guys at the Reformed Forum (including Carl Truman) recently interviewed Gregory Beale about his book, The Erosion of Inerrancy in Evangelicalism. Here is how they describe the conversation:

Dr. Beale discusses the significance of Biblical inerrancy, its Scriptural basis, and the problems with jettisoning the doctrine. In addition to a proper concern for inerrancy, Beale explains how scholars can rightly approach the use of Ancient Near Eastern and 2nd Temple Jewish literature without undermining the authority and perspicuity of Scripture. Along the way the panel considers the influence of postmodernism on Biblical studies.

This interview with Beale is the 54th in a series of interviews with some of today’s foremost “Reformed” scholars, pastors, and church leaders. Other interviewees include Russell Moore, JV Fesko, Vern Poythress, and Phil Ryken, to name a few. I only stumbled upon this site today, but it looks full of great resources. I encourage you to check it out, especially the Beale interview, in light of its current relevance.

Sola Deo Gloria, dss
