RTS and the Current State of Theological Education

Some of you may have seen this important article over at The Gospel Coalition about the decline and relocation of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (TEDS) by Collin Hansen, who is a graduate of the school. Reformed Theological Seminary has been friends with TEDS for many years. Over the years, a number of our faculty have done their studies there before coming to RTS, and a number of our graduates have gone on to do doctoral work there. We wish TEDS all the best in this new stage of their institutional life. The last twenty years have been tough for accredited graduate theological education…

Balaam’s Ass

The Lord’s Day Evening November 11, 2007 Numbers 22:22-40 “Balaam’s Ass” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. Please be seated. We began our study in the story of Balak and Balaam and Israel last Lord’s Day evening. It is a dramatic story. It is the story of God’s sovereign care over His people. Even as their enemies seek to avail themselves of supernatural powers to bring down curse and destruction on the people of God, God manifests His sovereignty. What’s the message of the part of this story that we studied last week? We really only focused on one of at least four great lessons that are found in Numbers 22:1-21, so allow me…indulge me…allow me to give you those four messages — at least four messages — that we find in that passage. The first lesson…

The last time we were together in this glorious letter, we were looking at Philippians 2:5-11, “The Song of Christ,” and what we outlined it.
