The New Testament in 100 Words (or less!) #2

by Kenny Burchard | Sep 19, 2013 | Biblical Studies, Biblical Theology, Gospel, New Testament, Scripture, Theological Studies

Here it is! Version #2 of my attempt to communicate the central message of the New Testament in 100 words or less. On the advice of a few friends, I did more work with the cross and with Israel, which I hope is more obvious.  I’m still looking for help with an...

The New Testament in 100 Words (or less) #1

by Kenny Burchard | Sep 12, 2013 | Biblical Studies, Biblical Theology, Gospel, New Testament, Scripture

This will be the first of five posts that summarize my personal understanding of the theology and mega-message of the New Testament. I have 100 words or less to get it done, and I really want to hear back from you about what seems to be missing. I promise to engage...
My Biblical Theology Made Me Do It!

My Biblical Theology Made Me Do It!

by Kenny Burchard | Sep 10, 2013 | Biblical Theology, Hermeneutics, Scripture, Systematic Theology, Theological Studies, Theological Training

“How does that fit within the larger story the Bible is telling?” That is often the question I ask myself (and others) when I am contemplating theological conclusions, or various ideas about what a particular text seems to be saying. Why is this? Read...

Introduction to N. T. Wright: Books You Should Read

by Luke Geraty | May 25, 2013 | Apologetics, Biblical Theology, Christology, Ecclesiology, Eschatology, The Kingdom of God, Theological Studies

I’m often asked by pastors which books by Wright they should read and I used to always refer them to the Christian Origins and the Question of God series because, quite frankly, you can’t be into NT studies without having interacted with his works in that...

Correcting the Popular Notion that the Church was Born at Pentecost

by Luke Geraty | May 20, 2013 | Biblical Theology, Charismatic Theology, Ecclesiology, Israel

Scott Lencke has a good post up on why he doesn’t believe we should believe the popular idea that the church was born at Pentecost (Acts 2). Scott lays out some very good reasons why we should see God’s people through the lens of continuity rather than...

A Basic Overview of the Structure for the Book of Acts

by Luke Geraty | Dec 19, 2012 | Biblical Theology, New Testament, Preaching

Once I’ve decided to preach through a book of the Bible, I like to form some sort of a “homiletic outline” that helps me break a book up into sections to preach through. Sometimes chapter markers can be helpful and sometimes they are absolutely...

No! The Old Testament Saints Were Not “Saved” by Works!

by Luke Geraty | Nov 30, 2012 | Biblical Theology, Gospel, Soteriology

It happened again. I was listening to a popular radio preacher and they repeated an idea I have heard many times in my life. He stated that in the Old Testament, people were “saved” by obeying the Law and in the New Testament, people are...

Being Pressed Down Builds Character for Jesus’ Followers

by Luke Geraty | Oct 3, 2012 | Biblical Theology, Devotionals, New Testament, Old Testament

This morning our family started reading the Book of Exodus. I’m excited for us to recall the amazing story of God’s rescuing Israel from slavery in Egypt. What a wonderful picture of the sovereign work of God on behalf of sinners. God’s faithfulness...

Dispensational, Covenant, & New Covenant Theology

by Luke Geraty | Sep 17, 2012 | Baptism, Biblical Theology, Ecclesiology, Reformed Theology, The Kingdom of God

For anyone involved in the theological schools known as Dispensationalism, Covenant Theology, or New Covenant Theology, you may be interested in reading several reviews of Kingdom through Covenant: A Biblical-Theological Understanding of the Covenants, written by...

Good or Bad?: The Lowest Common Denominator in Theology

by Luke Geraty | Aug 13, 2012 | Apologetics, Biblical Theology, Conflict Resolution, Cultural Engagement, Eschatology, Hermeneutics, Israel, The Kingdom of God

This is going to be a little bit longer post than usual. Stick with me and I think it’ll make sense in the end. Well, I certainly hope so. I’ve been teaching on the subject of eschatology for the past couple of weeks in the church I serve. It’s been...

Two Good Books on Healing

by Luke Geraty | Jun 3, 2012 | Biblical Theology, Charismatic Theology, The Kingdom of God, The Vineyard Movement

I thought I’d point out two good books on the subject of healing and miracles, though they also cover a lot more ground (Christology): Jesus the Miracle Worker by Graham H. Twelftree and Israel’s Divine Healer by Michael L. Brown. I’ve been reading...

God is Love, by Gerald Bray

by Luke Geraty | May 13, 2012 | Biblical, Biblical Theology, Reviews, Systematic Theology, Theology

God is Love is subtitled, “A Biblical and Systematic Theology.” Right out the gate I am going to state that I am not sure exactly why the author or publisher provided that subtitle. It actually locked me into expecting something that Bray’s book...

Worship As Presentation

by Luke Geraty | Mar 1, 2012 | Biblical Theology, Pneumatology, Worship

Been having a lot of conversations about “worship” lately. Having grown up in many “charismatic” types of churches, “worship” has often been understood in relation to music, with most “revelation” about...

My List of Top 5 Books on the Kingdom of God

by Luke Geraty | Feb 13, 2012 | Biblical Theology, Charismatic Theology, Ecclesiology, The Kingdom of God, The Vineyard Movement

There are five books that have greatly shaped my understanding of the kingdom of God. These are my top-five and the books that I recommend to pastors, students, and anyone interested in the theology of the kingdom. #5 – The Gospel of the Kingdom: Scriptural...
Inaugurated Eschatology: the “Last Days” of the Kingdom

Inaugurated Eschatology: the “Last Days” of the Kingdom

by Luke Geraty | Jan 2, 2012 | Biblical Theology, Eschatology, Systematic Theology, The Kingdom of God, The Vineyard Movement

Inaugurated who? Inaugurated eschatology. Eschatology is generally understood as the “study of end times,” but when used with reference to inaugurated eschatology, it refers specifically to the kingdom of God and how it relates to Jesus’ first...

The Difference Between Biblical Theology & Systematic Theology

by Luke Geraty | Jan 1, 2012 | Biblical Theology, Systematic Theology

I love how Geerhardus Vos explains the differences between Biblical Theology and Systematic Theology. He writes, “In Biblical Theology the principle is one of historical, in Systematic Theology it is one of logical construction. Biblical Theology draws a line of...

Fusing Theology and Missions Through Biblical Theology

by Luke Geraty | Dec 3, 2011 | Biblical Theology, Missional

According to George W. Peters’ A Biblical Theology of Missions, the apostle Paul gave eight logical reasons for world-wide missionary work: The whole universe is the creation of God. It is manifesting God, is under His sovereign rule, and is therefore...

God’s Glory in Salvation through Judgment, by James M. Hamilton Jr.

by Luke Geraty | Nov 18, 2011 | Biblical, Biblical Theology, Reviews, Theology

Try and summarize the Bible in one sentence. Karl Barth, author of the infamous 14 volume Church Dogmatics, is said to have summarized all that he wrote by saying, “Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so.” Others have focused on a variety...

An even-handed “third way” between Piper and Wright: Michael F. Bird’s JETS contribution

by Luke Geraty | Jul 13, 2011 | Biblical Theology, Church History, Gospel, Reformed Theology, Systematic Theology

Yesterday my copy of the latest JETS came in the mail and I was pleasantly surprised to find an article by Michael J. Bird – “What is There Between Minneapolis and St. Andrews? A Third Way in the Piper-Wright Debate” (pp. 299-309). It is one of the...

Quotable Theology

Afflictions are light when compared with what we really deserve. They are light when compared with the sufferings of the Lord Jesus. But perhaps their real lightness is best seen by comparing them with the weight of glory which is awaiting us.
