Learning from Dr Poythress
by rosclarke @ 2007-03-29 - 16:24:51

A few jottings I made in last week's class that I forgot to blog about at the time. These may give a flavour of Dr Poythress' style...

I don't think any of us really know where most of our ideas come from...

Grammatical-historical exegesis, in order to be scientific and rigorous, is also superficial.

I once heard a Puritan preacher...

I didn't think he was quite that old!

We could almost think of land as a sacrament - as a means of experiencing God's presence and blessing.

I wonder if he's ever said that about the land being sacramental in print? If so he might even get a footnote in the PhD. Perhaps you could ask him to shove it in next time he's writing somewhere impressively erudite? WTJ would be ideal for showing what a sound reformed idea it is.

Yes, I thought you'd like that, and no, I don't know if he's written it anyway. Perhaps you could cite 'pers. comm.' or something?
