René A. López, "IS FAITH A GIFT FROM GOD OR A HUMAN EXERCISE?"

It should be noted that, while this is a learned and helpful article, López seems to have missed one major view on the question of whether faith is a gift of God, which is a more typical Arminian view than that it is not; and that is that faith is a gift in the sense that God must enable us to believe, but that like most gifts, it can be rejected and is not irresistible.

Robert Chisholm's Excellent Article on Hardening in the Old Testament
Submitted by SEA on Mon, 04/27/2009 - 8:51amWe do not always announce in the the blog the addition of specific articles to the site's article database. (We regularly add articles to the site, and upon being added they appear in the "Recent Articles" box on the right side of our home page. After an article is pushed off the recent articles list by newer articles, it can only be found through the topical index or through the site's search function.) But we wanted to draw your attention to a particularly excellent article that we are adding today by Robert Chisholm Jr. on hardening in the Old Testament. I think it includes the best overall single treatment of the hardening of Pharaoh's heart available, though it covers more than just the case of Pharaoh. We want to thank the journal that published the article, Bibliotheca Sacra, for granting us permission to make the article available, as well as a few other articles that have appeared in the journal and are relevant to the Arminian/Calvinist debate.

"God's Righteousness Revealed" by Robert Hamilton.
What does it mean that "the righteousness of God is revealed" in the gospel? Presumably it means that in the gospel of Jesus, we learn something or experience something new of God's righteousness. But what exactly, and how?
