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.

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.
