John Owen - Great English Puritan theologian.

New Directions in John Owen Studies

Great Tradition / January 26, 2024

BibleMesh are delighted to be co-sponsors, alongside Crossway, of the International John Owen Convention.

The Convention sets out to think about what we have already achieved in our study of Owen, and what might be the most fruitful new lines of enquiry. Paying attention to Owen’s status in the academy and in the church, it will create opportunities for new thinking about the formation, contextualisation, and reception of Owen’s ideas. Please come and join the conversation.

Eden is a Temple

BibleMesh, Series: Biblical Theology / January 22, 2024

The tabernacle and the temple were littered with cosmic symbolism. When the Torah was read in their midst, the Israelites would hear of Adam and Eve walking with God, and they would look up and see the curtains and realize that at their present time there is a veil keeping them protected from the glory of God.

Theology and Philosophical Method

Philosophy & Apologetics / December 19, 2023

Philosophy and theology are always intertwined. This is perhaps most clear when it comes to questions of method: how do we interpret what the Bible says or how do we arrive at the doctrines we should believe?

How have the tools of theology been put to work in an environment determined and developed by philosophy? To answer this, let’s look at one question and two traditions.

Christmas & Chalcedon - Theotokos Mary the God-bearer.

Christmas and Chalcedon – Part Two

Great Tradition / December 18, 2023

The words “bearer of God” is the Greek word “theotokos.” It is sometimes translated as “Mother of God.” Protestant evangelicals are skeptical of confessing “Mother of God,” or “theotokos.” But if we rightly understand what the phrase means and why it is important, we should have no problem rejoicing in what Mary is doing as the mother of Jesus. Jesus is the eternal Son of God in the flesh.

Council of Chalcedon

Christmas and Chalcedon – Part One

Great Tradition / December 15, 2023

The Christmas season is when we celebrate the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus is the eternal Son of God who came to dwell with us. We sing and celebrate how, through the Holy Spirit, the Divine Son came to reside in the virgin Mary’s womb so that he could be born a baby in the manager. He is truly God with us.
