Mark Dever

Mark Dever is definitely one of the most friendly people I have ever interviewed. Within moments of my first meeting I felt at ease and as though I was speaking to an old friend. He was equally kind the second time when we chatted over an Italian meal in London. Dever has become a leader with a far broader informal circle of influence than his formal responsibilities would suggest.

Some Crossway Books and Their Blog

September 20, 2008

My friends at Crossway continue to outdo themselves in the area of excellence. I sometimes think I should just issue a blanket recommendation—buy ANYTHING they print. But for some specifics, I thought I’d post some mini-reviews today. They have also recently started a book blog which has already had some great posts, so I’ve decided [...]

Book Both "Together" Conferences NOW

February 28, 2008

I can’t offer two conferences for the price of one, but I can—in one post—discuss two conferences which, for all the similarities of their names, do have some important differences. For a start, they are on opposite sides of the Atlantic, so booking into the wrong one would be a significant logistical headache! I am [...]

Review of the Blog – September to December 2007: John Owen and John Piper

December 22, 2007

During the months of September and October, I spent a lot of time quoting from a book Justin Taylor produced—a lightly edited John Owen. These can all be read on the category page for posts labeled “John Owen.” In November, I gave John Piper on N. T. Wright the same treatment. I also wrote a [...]

Mark Dever on the Centrality of Complementarianism

October 8, 2007

Mark Dever is not a man who is shy of controversy. For example, during my recent interview with him, he stated concerning the book, Pierced For Our Transgressions, “If you don’t like that book, you don’t like Christianity!” Strong stuff! Before we leave Mark for awhile, I want to share with you once again some [...]

Theology for All – Lessons for the Future by Mark Dever

October 5, 2007

For the final session, Mark took us to the vital subject of the future. We cannot see what will happen. There are some difficulties we face currently. There are threats to the freedom of religion. Entrenched secularism dismisses the value of Christianity. Our ideas are marginalized. There is a new phenomenon of legal intolerance towards [...]

Theology for All – Lessons for the Present by Mark Dever

October 4, 2007

Mark began the second session of his day conference in London by taking us to 1 Corinthians 9. He briefly overviewed 1 Corinthians as a whole, and said that he felt one of the key themes was considering each other. Paul teaches the Corinthians what the Church is like and how it is supposed to [...]

Theology for All – Lessons From the Past by Mark Dever

October 3, 2007

To be quite honest, when reading the publicity, this talk was the one that most inspired me to attend the Theology for All conference. Mark is somewhat of an expert on Church history, and in particular the Puritans. As a pastor, he is concerned not merely with transferring knowledge to his congregation, but also in [...]

Theology for All – Mark Dever in the UK

October 2, 2007

Last month Mark Dever was on tour. In the middle of central London, somewhere off Picadilly in a large church—complete with organ—I sat with a gathering of church leaders and others eager to hear Mark speak. (OK, so it’s been a long time since I sang a hymn to an organ!) Anyway, Mark began the [...]

Theology For All – An Interview with Mark Dever

October 1, 2007

On Saturday, September 22nd I attended the Theology For All Conference in central London at which Mark Dever spoke. To be honest, I was a bit apprehensive about attending as I wondered if I would be the only charismatic in attendance.

Rediscovering Theopedia

August 31, 2007

I have spent a bit of time over the last few days rediscovering Theopedia. It is not quite so frenetic and unstructured as Wikkipedia. This is probably due to its requirement that you acknowledge a statement of faith and be registered before editing items. They are keen for more contributors and if you have good [...]

"Lig Duncan Baptized as a Believer," Reveals Justin Taylor

August 21, 2007

In news that will shake the blogosphere, Justin Taylor has not only shown that he is with Sam Storms on these issues, he has exclusively revealed that Lig Duncan was not baptized as an infant! Anyone questioning his commitment to the Presbyterian cause would no doubt be told “It wasn’t my fault my parents didn’t [...]

Sam Storms Feels Mark Dever is Confusing on the Lord’s Supper

August 21, 2007

In the comments section of Sam Storms’ contribution to the baptism debate is a comment that is too good to leave there. Here is what the commentator said: Adrian, I think Sam might be misunderstanding Mark’s position. He keeps referring to the idea that Mark would deny a [paedobaptist] (visiting his church, maybe even speaking [...]

Baptist and PCA Agreements About Baptism

August 19, 2007

Justin Taylor has shared a number of statements on which Mark Dever agreed with David Coffin from the PCA about baptism. The following extracts stood out to me (hence the odd numbering), but they are all worth reading. Do any of you, my readers, disagree with any of these? You will note that, for once, [...]
