Wayne Grudem’s Thoughts on Bible Translation

March 2, 2010

This is a classic quote from Grudem about why he prefers essentially literal translations (sometimes called word-for-word)  over the so-called dynamic equivalent (sometimes called idea for idea) For more about Bible translation see my interview with the ESV Bible translators:
“I cannot teach theology or ethics from a dynamic equivalent Bible. I tried the NIV for [...]

Stealing From Wayne Grudem

June 24, 2008

In connection with a post I wrote last week entitled—Has Wayne Grudem Been the Victim of Internet Pirates?—I can now confirm that the website offering a free electronic copy of his Systematic Theology is indeed theft.
Many bloggers were taken in by this scam. Although I was always suspicious of the site because of its numbers-only [...]

Has Wayne Grudem Been the Victim of Internet Pirates?

June 17, 2008

A number of bloggers have been mentioning that Wayne Grudem’s Systematic Theology is online for free. I felt it was a bit suspicious, however, because of the web address that was being shared—it contained only numbers, i.e. in this type of format—202.202.202.202. That is generally not a good sign in a web address. [...]

5th Most Read Post – Steve Chalke and "The Lost Message of Jesus"

February 12, 2008

No. 5 on the list of most-read posts on this blog appeared on November 21, 2004. I felt like a lonely figure back in 2004 with my strong criticism of Steve Chalke’s views on the atonement. I argued that his words were close to blasphemy at the time. John Piper would subsequently accuse Chalke directly [...]

Rediscovering Theopedia

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 [...]

August 23, 2007

Lig Duncan has promised us he will write more on the reasons why this debate is not an easy one to resolve. His statement got me thinking, and while I’m still resisting the temptation to state who I agree with, it has rattled around in my brain long enough for me to want to have [...]
