New and Old Calvinism, Enchantment, and AI: Article Up at Mere Orthodoxy
I have an article on New Calvinism up at Mere Orthodoxy. Here’s an excerpt:
Yet in confessional Reformed theology the sacraments are not incidentals to gospel ministry, but central to gospel ministry. The sacraments are more than “visible words” which proclaim the gospel. With the sacraments, God not only speaks, but God acts. The sacraments are not just reminders or challenges related to the content of the gospel message, but a divinely established avenue by which the gospel is applied to the heart of the partaker so as to conform them by the Holy Spirit into the image of Christ.
Presbyterians in the gospel-centered coalition should press for a re-centering and prioritization of Reformed sacramentology as part of a recalibrated New Calvinist-evangelical collaboration — not as something annexed to gospel-centered ministry, but as part of its core identity.
