Dr. Reluctant's New Blog and New Book

Dr. Paul Henebury (aka Dr. Reluctant) has a new blog HERE. You'll notice on the right side of my blog that there are currently two versions. The older version will eventually drop away once the feeds stop. I won't remove it unless it ceases to exist.. 

But the other important news is that Paul's new book "The Words of the Covenant" Volume 2 (New Testament Commentary) is now available. Read about it HERE

Check out Rev Reads' review...

Michael Svigel and the Fathers

I want to highlight Michael Svigel's work on the eschatology of the early church fathers. You can find my post on that topic at Zeteo 3:16 HERE. Aside from his book, Dr. Svigel is offering valuable "Deeper Excurses" data free on his website, Fathers on the Future

One caveat when looking at this material is to understand that the early church fathers embraced forms of Replacement Theology soon after the Apostle John died. So, while some were premillennial, the blurring of Israel and the church affected their eschatology. For more on this, see Larry Pettegrew's "Forsaking Israel," as discussed HERE.

Worshiping Man

Worth a watch...

...Carl Teichrib continues with the study through his book, The Temple of Man in the Age of Re-Enchantment and is playing The Game of Gods. In the section “Worshiping Man, in chapter four, Carl points out: “For all the talk of rationalism and naturalism and the end of Christianity, Modernity revealed the inescapability of religion. Reject the transcendent God who created the universe, and humanity worships itself. We fashion a ‘God substitute’ formed in the image of what we think is best.” The Apostle Paul points this out in Romans chapter one as well.
