“The Weight of History”

In his recent address to the various branches of the American government, our King, Charles III (1948–), spoke of feeling “the weight of history.” Speaking especially about the semiquincentennial—one might also call it by more obscure terms, such as the bisesquicentennial or the sestercentennial—of the founding of the American republic, he was calling to mind all of the momentous aspects of that event in the mid-1770s as well as historical details of the “special relationship” that has evolved since then between the United States and the United Kingdom. He was also reaching back, though, to such seminal documents as the...

“A theologian in service of the Church”

Michael A. G. Haykin

Central Baptist Seminary (CBS) in Toronto, where I began my academic career as a church historian, experienced a deep financial crisis between 1989 and 1991. A three-man management team was put in place to lead the school instead of a president. One of the three men serving on this management team was Roy Lawson, in every way a larger-than-life figure in the Fellowship of Evangelical Baptist Churches in Canada. And to be honest, he frightened me! But not my academic colleague, Stanley K. Fowler. In fact, once when Roy was complaining about hyper-Calvinists within our Fellowship (Calvinism was a controversial...

Grace to You, John MacArthur

Wyatt Graham

I grew up around John MacArthur. My brother and brother-in-law attended schools associated with him. We read his books, listened to his sermons, and used his Study Bible. Eventually, I even served on staff as a pastoral intern at Grace Community Church. With the death of Pastor MacArthur, I find myself reflecting on his life and influence—especially his influence on my own life. Reading John MacArthur As a teenager, I remember being unable to sleep one hot night. I moved to a cooler room, but still couldn’t rest. Then I had a curious thought: doesn’t the Bible have something about...

A Response to N.T. Wright on Abortion

Wyatt Graham

Recently, N.T. Wright argued that in some circumstances, Christians may terminate a pregnancy. While he did not argue for unrestricted abortion, he believed that in certain situations, terminating a pregnancy could be “the best thing to do.” Wright explains: “There are many, many cases where it is about the mother’s health versus the health of the child or whatever. And particularly that, as you cited, in cases of rape or in cases of incest, there may be a very, very strong argument for saying this ought never to have happened. And with sorrow, because we do not want to do...

Kay Arthur: The Godmother of Bible Literacy

Angie Velasquez Thornton

On May 20, 2025, Kay Arthur went home to be with the Lord. She was 91. I had just met representatives from Precepts Canada at a recent SOLA conference. They spoke with affection of their founder, who was still alive. They told me of her son David, who had co-written some of her later works with her and was now at the helm of the ministry. Just four days later, this faithful servant and spiritual mother met her Saviour face to face. Kay Arthur was the co-founder of Precept Ministries International, a global ministry dedicated to equipping people to study...
