Study

The letter the five points were mined from, read whole — sixteen chapters, each with its key verse, Karl Barth at the desk, discussion questions, and a cloud of witnesses; printable one chapter to a page. A companion within the TULIP study.

A chapter-by-chapter study of Nehemiah — each chapter a printable one-page worksheet with voices from six Christian traditions, discussion questions, and conversation with Magnifica Humanitas. Prepared for the Irvine chapter of the Google Christian Fellowship.

An analysis of the traditional Calvinist doctrine of TULIP, petal by petal — each of the five points stated fairly in its strongest form, its proof-texts gathered, and the passages that strain against it heard with equal care.

A distillation and indexing of everything Jesus himself said — the kingdom announced, the commands, parables, warnings & promises — heard on their own terms, without bringing in Pauline interpretations.

A study of the coming Kingdom of God and what the Bible wants us to know — the prophets’ hope, the already & not-yet, the resurrection of the body, and the renewal of all things.

A study of intercession in Scripture — Christ the one intercessor, the prayers of the righteous, the incense of the saints — and the contested question of whether the saints in heaven pray for the church on earth, and may be asked to.
