Thanks to the heads up of our friend Jeff Downs of Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary and Alpha and Omega Ministries, I am pleased to direct our readers’ attention to some new items by K. Scott Oliphint, professor of apologetics and systematic theology at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. The first item is actually two new papers that Dr. Oliphint has posted at his website which can be found here. The first paper is entitled “Bavinck’s Realism, the Logos Principle, and Sola Scriptura” and the other is “Using Reason by Faith.” Both of these will eventually appear in the pages of the Westminster Theological Journal. The second item is a lecture given by Dr. Oliphint at the 2007 GPTS Spring Theology Conference on “The Reformed Worldview.” You can find the Sermon Audio lecture here. You can be assured that this material is well worth your time reading, hearing, and digesting.
I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naïve. (Romans 16:17-18)
