Here's my final paper from Dr. D.A. Carson's Intro to Biblical Theology course here at TEDS. We were instructed to write a twelve page paper on a biblical-theological theme. While a full biblical theology of wisdom would be massive, I was confined- so give me a break. Biblical theology, for those who don't know, is... Continue Reading →
Here's my summary of the Trinitarian theology of Gregory of Nyssa which I accidentally prepared for a PhD course I'm in at TEDS taught by Dr. Thomas McCall called Trinity and Atonement.
