Teaching Fellow Spotlight: Gregory Soderberg

1M ago
This post has been adapted from a recorded interview with BibleMesh Institute Teaching Fellow Dr. Gregory Soderberg. Tell us about yourself. I have been a teacher my whole career. When I was in high school, I was involved in acting, and taking acting lessons from an older actor who had been in some films. God changed my direction and sidelined those plans. Instead, I ended up getting a degree in the liberal arts. But what I learned was that teaching is a form of acting. Whether it’s 6 am in the morning or you’re tired after a long day—as a teacher you’re always faced with the task of anima ..read more

What is Apologetics?
The BibleMesh Blog

1M ago
This essay is the first in a series considering various aspects of philosophy and apologetics. Shawn Langley is a Research Fellow with the BibleMesh Institute.   The term apologetics is often heard in Christian circles, but what does it really mean? We can gain a clearer sense of what an apologetic should entail by first looking at the biblical context giving rise to the concept. After this we will be able to outline some defining characteristics of how we defend our faith.  One of the most commonly cited passages in connection with apologetics is 1 Peter 3:15. Here Peter tells ..read more

Crawford Gribben, Professor of Early Modern British History at Queen’s University Belfast, is one of the organisers of the International John Owen Convention being hosted by Union Theological College, Belfast, in June 2024.  There aren’t many early modern literary figures – never mind theologians – who are getting as much attention as John Owen. Long regarded as difficult, Owen is the subject of a rapidly growing array of doctoral theses, scholarly articles, popular introductions, monographs, and handbooks. Long regarded as obscure, he is becoming ever more popular as a devotional wr ..read more

Eden is a Temple.

This post is part of an ongoing series exploring Biblical theology. Tim Bertolet is a Research Fellow with the BibleMesh Institute. As a committed evangelical, one thing I find incredibly discouraging is how the debates of the age of the earth and the meaning of “day” in Genesis 1, have become a distraction that have kept us from paying attention to theological elements in the text that would have been far more contentious to the original audience. While we need to take all of God’s Word seriously, I cannot help but find us majoring on the minors and minoring on the major points ..read more

Adam as Prophet, Priest, and King.
The BibleMesh Blog
by agraham
2M ago
This post is part of an ongoing series exploring Biblical theology. Tim Bertolet is a Research Fellow with the BibleMesh Institute. At least since John Calvin, theologians and Bible scholars have identified three offices of Jesus that he carries out in his humanity. They are prophet, priest, and king. These are offices that Jesus exemplifies in the incarnation as part of his mediatorial work between God and his people. While the Son is king according to the divine nature in the way that God is king, his office of kingship in the New Testament is a fulfillment of the messianic ro ..read more

Philosophy and Theological Method

This essay is part of an ongoing series considering various aspects of the relationship between theology and philosophy. Shawn Langley is a Research Fellow with the BibleMesh Institute. Our last discussion looked at one question and two traditions that help us better understand the way theological tools have been and continue to be applied within a distinctively philosophical environment. We saw how the history of philosophy has ultimately been concerned with overcoming the fear of death through the power of human reason. And we introduced two primary traditions that have informed this pur ..read more

Theology and Philosophical Method

This essay is part of an ongoing series considering various aspects of the relationship between theology and philosophy. Shawn Langley is a Research Fellow with the BibleMesh Institute.   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? While our study of biblical teaching often looks much like an attempt to accumulate as many individual doctrines, such as the Trinity or baptism, with as much accuracy and clarity as possible, t ..read more

Christmas and Chalcedon – Part Two
The BibleMesh Blog

BibleMesh is guided by three pillars: the Great Commandment, the Great Commission, and the Great Tradition. Tim Bertolet is a Research Fellow with the BibleMesh Institute. In a previous post, we looked at the importance of Chalcedon for its articulation of the union of the two natures in Jesus Christ. At Christmas, the Son of God became man and was born of the woman. The Definition of Chalcedon helps avoid misinterpretations of the Biblical text by summarizing the whole of the Bible on this issue. It is also a response to misunderstandings and wrong interpretation of the biblical picture ..read more

BibleMesh is guided by three pillars: the Great Commandment, the Great Commission, and the Great Tradition. Tim Bertolet is a Research Fellow with the BibleMesh Institute.   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. This is the Christian confession of the significance of Christmas that many today forget. In this ..read more
