Wright and Piper: McLaughlin’s Final Installment

December 3, 2007

It was a good weekend all around for Brian McLaughlin - - the Buckeyes did complete their back into the title game.  Because we are an encouraging people, we here at “A Brick in the Valley,” refrain from making any comments about last year’s title game(s) with Florida.

More important than the turn of events for the Buckeyes, Brian completed his series reviewing N.T. Wright and John Piper’s interaction.  It is very helpful.

 Brian even persuaded me to entertain the possibility of purchasing N.T. Wright’s commentary on Romans - - I already have Moo & plan to get Schreiner.


McLaughlin Reviews Piper

December 2, 2007

It’s been a big weekend for Brian McLaughlin - - the Buckeyes managed to back into the National Championship game and Brian has posted a review of Piper’s book, The Future of Justification.

 Brian raises some very good questions. . .


N.T. Wright and Piper

November 30, 2007

Brian (he’s dreaming if he thinks Ohio State can win the Nat’l Championship) McLaughlin continues his helpful interaction with Wright and Piper.

First, he summarizes Piper’s, The Future of Justification

He then outlines areas where Piper and Wright agree. 

 We anxiously await the next stage of the review.

Brian’s commitment to being careful and fair in this evaluation is commendable, and speaks well for a senior pastor who would help recruit him to a particular church.
