They are generally shaped by many factors in diverse and mutually influencing ways. When it... Continue Reading

They say that “God created a new human nature for His Son” that “merely passed…through Mary.” Instead, MLJ states that is a true human, the seed of Abraham and the seed of David: “Now if a special human nature had been created for Him, He would not have been the son of David nor the...

By the age of ten, they should... Continue Reading

Today, having taken the unlikely course from prisoner to Bible professor, Yuan emphasizes the need to rethink along the lines of what Scripture teaches. For example, something most Christians know by experience: Conversion doesn’t end temptation. The battle with what the Apostle Paul calls “the flesh,” remains, including when it comes to our sexual desires.... Continue Reading

Daniel Doriani is known as a preacher, a seminary professor, and an author of several excellent commentaries.
