Wilson’s article reminded me of last year’s exciting discussion of D.G. Hart’s excellent A Secular Faith. I will not rehash my objections to the book but will restate my deep appreciation for Darryl’s cogent arguments and much needed warnings. At any rate, RP minister Aaron Goerner sent me this Richard Gamble review of A Secular [...]

Response to Darryl Hart: The Gracious Cultural Mandate
Posted in Hart's Secular Faith, Two Kingdoms on July 17, 2007 | 4 Comments »
Andrew Matthews Darryl Hart writes: “by this point in the blog, surely you can see ‘how I get around the fact that the cultural mandate was reaffirmed as part of the redemptive promises…’ I don’t know how I could be clearer. You disagree, of course. But really, you don’t see how I separate the cultural [...]

Andrew Matthews A Non-redemptive Providential Reign of Christ? “The word of the Lord came to me: ‘Take silver and gold from the exiles Heldai, Tobijah and Jedaiah, who have arrived from Babylon. Go the same day to the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah. Take the silver and gold and make a crown, and set [...]

Andrew Matthews O GOD, merciful Father, who despisest not the sighing of a contrite heart, nor the desire of such as are sorrowful; Mercifully assist our prayers which we make before thee in all our troubles and adversities, whensoever they oppress us; and graciously hear us, that those evils which the craft and subtilty of [...]
Response to Darryl Hart: The Radicality of Christian Obedience
Posted in Hart's Secular Faith, Natural Law, Two Kingdoms on July 5, 2007 | 37 Comments »
Andrew Matthews Darryl, you write: “Andrew, I’d be glad to answer these reflections if I weren’t already asking for you to answer them.” What?! I have been providing answers to this (admittedly) difficult question. The “hard sayings” of Jesus are called such because they are not easy for anyone who recognizes the validity of natural [...]
The Ubiquity of Roman Catholicism
Posted in Hart's Secular Faith, Two Kingdoms on July 2, 2007 | 18 Comments »
Andrew Matthews In response to a comment I made about Christianity’s cultural accomplishments, Darryl Hart writes: “Who is this ‘we,’ white Calvinist man (read: Andrew)? Could it be that the we is Roman Catholicism? And could it be that all those good things in Rome came with the cost of missing what was most important [...]
RE: The Problem With Westminster’s Two Kingdoms
Posted in Hart's Secular Faith, Two Kingdoms on May 24, 2007 | 59 Comments »
Andrew Matthews Darryl Hart admits that Christendom was far better then the Roman Empire, but asks whether America did anything significant. How America fits in post-apostolic redemptive history is a good question to consider. (I think a case can be made that redemptive history continued after New Testament times. Think of the A.D. 70 Judgment, [...]
RE: The Spirituality of the Church and 1 Cor. 6:1-11
Posted in Corporate Confession, Hart's Secular Faith, Spirituality of the Church, Two Kingdoms on May 18, 2007 | 4 Comments »
I did not want this comment to be lost in the shuffle. This is interesting. Darryl, what you say makes sense in the context we live. Our churches are like regional centers. People travel from miles around to gather to worship in our conservative Reformed and Presbyterian Churches. But this is a unique, and maybe [...]
Evangelical Liberals?
Posted in Conservatism, Hart's Secular Faith on May 5, 2007 | 36 Comments »
Is it just me or is it 1927 all over again? An interesting article about evangelicals embracing leftish causes. Not that I have any strong opinions about global warming or a problem with adoption but one doubts that these issues will be embraced with a conservative sentiment. More fodder for the Hart theory. When will [...]
Aliens and Exiles
Posted in Hart's Secular Faith on April 27, 2007 | 11 Comments »
We have likely exhausted A Secular Faith so I will make a final post that returns to the theme of my first. I am concerned that Christian involvement in politics distracts believers from their true and ultimate home. When we become so concerned about moral decline or social disorder in the United States that American [...]
