November



In July in Helm's Deep , 'Romans 2 and 3: One Step at a Time, Dear Jesus' ventured some remarks on parts of Romans 2 and 3. I showed these to my friend Simon Gathercole, whose views I had ventured to criticize. He has very kindly responded to them. And I republish those parts of what I wrote that Simon has commented on, together with his comments, as the first post in November. I remain unconvinced on the main issue, whether those referred to in Chapter 2 are Gentile Christians. But let each one be persuaded in his own mind!


Thanks, Simon.


Later in the month I shall put out something more typical of the posts on Helm’s Deep, a short discussion of Calvin’s views on necessity and contingency as these affect the liberty of God’s action. These have been prompted by some views of Antonie Vos, recently published.
