Interview with D.A. Carson
2 comments | Permalink
The following is Adrian Warnock's video interview with Don Carson:
Adrian summarizes: "We spoke about his reasons for coming to the UK, about how he chose to leave the field of chemistry to become a pastor and then left pastoral ministry to train ministers in a seminary, the crucial importance of the local church, and his relationship with his father." "In the second part of my interview with Don Carson we spoke about how to prepare people to serve as leaders and preachers in the Church. We spoke about the place of seminary, and about those who, like Martyn Lloyd-Jones, serve without spending time there. We also spoke about conferences, and the importance of recognizing that most of us are just going to be ordinary Christians."

Thanks for posting this interesting interview! As a college student at the Moody Bible Institute, I am often thinking about where God is going to put me in a few years. The temptation is to dream of a big, high profile position, complete with numerous book deals with Crossway! But, that is not reality...and that's OK. And it's not really what's important.
Thanks for putting on an excellent blog. If you are ever in Chicago sometime, you should stop by Moody and maybe we could grab a lunch... :)
I don't know if "numerous book deals with Crossway" counts as dreaming big. Maybe numerous book deals with Eerdmans...or TT Clark or Brill. But Crossway? Even IVP & Baker beat Crossway. They need to actually start binding their books rather than gluing them before they get a second thought about what "big" means.
