Theology on the Web presents the Worldview Outline Series This is a rough outline of a Christian Worldview with loads of Scripture references. Tell me what you think.
Olivet Discourse (The Discourse our Lord gave from the Mount of Olives) as recorded in the Book of Matthew. Unfortunately, there is very little in regards to this kind of approach to interpreting Matthew 24 (though the numbers are increasing), so, I ended up spending most of my time teaching on the chapters that precede Matthew 24. It is just as well, as I can add very little to the excellent writings of those who have gone before me in unlocking this perplexing chapter. I have added a Bibliography for those interested in reading more.
A special thanks to Lawrence Helm who has provided these essays/book review on Herman Witsius' Commentary on the Apostle's Creed.
Essays by and about Arnold Van Ruler
I have entered an essay that I consider to be of great value. The title of the essay is The Evolution of Dogma by Arnold A. Van Ruler. This is a speech that Van Ruler gave in 1959 at a conference in commemoration of the first one hundred years of Darwin's Origin of the Species. The essay, however, speaks volumes concerning a Biblical pneumatology, and was key in bringing me out of the charismatic pneumatology. This article also addresses some key points regarding dialogue between the Protestant and Catholic Churches. I hope readers will find the article as fullfilling as I have. Please, try to keep in mind while reading this article that Van Ruler had adhered to the inerrancy and authority of the Scriptures until his death in 1970. The Evolution of Dogma by Arnold A. Van Ruler.
There is a related article at Theologia site, called German Theology & The Church Question by Philip Schaff.
Garth Hodnett's Master Thesis. If you have not taken the time to read this thesis, you should. It is called: A.A. Van Ruler's Doctrine of the Messianic Intermezzo, and it's implications for understanding the Old Testament. This makes for good theological discussion even if you are not familiar with Van Ruler (most people are not).
