4 comments | Permalink

This past weekend there was an alumni symposium held at Wheaton College regarding the evangelical church of the past 40 years; it consisted of a conversation between Nathan Hatch, Mark Noll, and John Piper (all of whom graduated from Wheaton in 1968).

If you click the link below you can hear the audio from their conversation (10-minute open statements, interactions, and Q&A).

1968, A Year in Crisis: Evangelical Churches Then and Now
A Conversation with Dr. Nathan Hatch '68, Dr. Mark Noll '68, and Dr. John Piper '68

Nathan Hatch Nathan Hatch is in his second year as president of Wake Forest University. A nationally respected historian, Nat was provost of the University of Notre Dame when he was selected as Wake Forest’s 13th president. He received his master’s and doctoral degrees from Washington University in St. Louis and held post-doctoral fellowships at Harvard and Johns Hopkins Universities.
Mark Noll Mark Noll is the Francis A. McAnaney Professor of History at the University of Notre Dame. Before going to Notre Dame he was privileged to teach for over a quarter century in Wheaton’s history and theological studies departments. His books include The Civil War as a Theological Crisis (2006) and The Rise of Evangelicalism: The Age of Edwards, Whitefield, and the Wesleys (2004).

As a student of both Wake Forest and Wheaton, I want to say that this was a dream come true, that all three scholars agreed to do this. Do yourself a favor, and check it out. High quality people.

As far as I know, according to the community's desire, Hatch won the popular vote for Wheaton's president several years ago. Many wonder how Wheaton would look different today, rather than through the Litfin presidency, which was supported by the board of trustees.

Regardless, listen carefully and prepare to bubble over with glee!

Justin,
I just wanted to send a note to say I'm enjoying your blog and recommend it to others.

You said in an interview:
Well-known New Testament scholars like Ben Witherington and Scot McKnight have started blogs and gained quite a following. Both are to the left of me theologically and politically, but they almost always have something interesting to say.

I am probably closer theologically to McKnight and Witherington but regularly enjoy the posts you highlight. I grew up in Wheaton, went to Taylor University, MDiv at Regent College and now am doing my Th.D. at Duke. Thanks for your work.

grace and peace,
andy

Putting the Conservative Reformed Theology movement (Piper, MacArthur, and Dever) in perspective


Basically, I just say I appreciate the Conservative Reformed Theology movement but I think there are other good things going on theologically as well.

grace and peace,
