Thoughts on Biblical Theology
December 13, 2009 | Posted by Wayne Haston
Here are some key quotations from an 1894 essay by Dr. Geerhardus Vos (1862-1949), the leading evangelical theologian in the early development and popularization of the discipline of Biblical Theology. The entire essay is available in the Resources section of this site--The Idea of Biblical Theology as a Science and as a Theological Discipline (his inaugural address as Professor of Biblical Theology at Princeton Theological Seminary in 1894).
Good Soil E&D in a Local Church
December 12, 2009 | Posted by Wayne Haston
In our training and promotions, we have resisted the term “program” because it often connotes a firmly fixed set of steps that, if followed, will automatically produce good results. However, that does not mean that local churches cannot implement this Good Soil approach with its associated resources in the form of a ministry program. But the key is that local churches need to determine how Good Soil E&D will work best in their church, in their local setting with their people.

December 4, 2009 | Posted by Wayne Haston

- People today are interested in narratives.
- Jesus discipled his followers by telling stories.
- In some non-literate cultures, people are not able to understand propositional concepts, such as those in The Way to Joy.
