This Week in Housekeeping

The Theological Term of the Week posts continue to be the most popular on this blog. Every week, the terms in alphabetical order page gets more hits than any other single page here. That makes me very happy, but it also means that I need to keep all those posts up-to-date—you know, get rid of dead links and add  links to good content that has come online since the original post was first posted. I’ll be dedicating a little time each week to doing just that, and I’ll let you know which terms I’ve spiffed up and what I’ve done.

This week I’ve updated these:

active obedience of Christ

• found a new source for The Active Obedience of Christ by J. Gresham Machen
• added two links: The Active  Obedience of Christ by Wayne Grudem and The Active Obedience of Christ - No Hope Without It! by John Samson
• added three related terms: passive obedience of Christ, justification, and imputation.

adoption:

• added seven related terms: conversion, glorification, justification,  reconciliation, regeneration, sanctification.

adoptionism:

• added four three related terms: Arianism, docetism, dynamic monarchianism, modalism.

The TTW is an excellent series; one of my favorite parts of the blogosphere. At some point when it has gelled a bit more, you should consider reworking it into a booklet of some sort; it would be a valuable resource.

The dynamic monarchianism links on the list all seem to be broken at present.

A candidate for a term, somewhere down the road when you've finished the housekeeping for the list: Sabellianism. Also, wrt to TULIP, do you have all of them? I only see three on the list (TLP).

Thanks for the heads up on the broken link. Squarespace seems to occasionally change links for reasons I haven't yet figured out.

I think I worked through TULIP, but I may have called some things by different terms. I should go through and make sure, for instance, that the term irresistible grace is there and goes to the post on the effectual call.

You've already covered Sabellianism.

I think I worked through TULIP

Yes.

I should go through and make sure, for instance, that the term irresistible grace is there and goes to the post on the effectual call.

And yes.

Thanks for that, David.

And unconditional election is just election.
