Great Evangelical Library Lecture Last Monday

It was great to gather with the other zoomers for the most recent Evangelical Library lunch time lecture last Monday. It was a little different to our usual fare which is church history focussed usually. Rather, it was on The Doctrine of God in Contemporary Evangelical Theology although Robert did suggest that a better understanding of the early debates regarding the Trinity might greatly help us. His main focus was on the impassibility of God and question of subordination in the Godhead. If you want to peruse the lecture, it can be found on our new YouTube Channel here.

Another fine lunch time lecture at the Library

We had another excellent lecture in our lunch time series today on Zoom, It was most gratifying to see some 45 screens or so tuned in. The lecture was from Dr Robert Strivens on Stephen Charnock and his massive work on the Doctrine of the Nature and Attributes of God. It was a  very helpful and stimulating survey and we are very thankful to Robert for his good services. This is the second lecture of the current series, the previous one being from Norman Hopkins on the missionary Alfred Saker. Audio copies can be obtained from the Library. We hope to reproduce a text version of today in the next In Writing. The third and final one of the series will be from myself on the fascinating Robert "Troublechurch" Browne on March 22. Do contact the Library nearer the date for the details of how to log on. Apologies to anyone not able to log on for today's one. PS The Library is currently closed.

PS The lecture is also available on DVD at £5 (There are slides, you don't have to look at Robert all the while!)
