How should we talk of Jesus? In one sense, talking about Jesus is easy. He’s our Savior and our redeemer. He’s the atoning sacrifice for sinners. He’s the Son of God who has demonstrated his great love for us by satisfying God’s righteous wrath in...
Alisa Childers is the author of the bestselling book, Another Gospel? A Lifelong Christian Seeks Truth in Response to Progressive Christianity. In this book, she describes the years-long journey she took as she wrestled with questions that struck at...
Logos is the only software tool I use to study the original languages of Scripture, and I use it practically every day. I use Logos because it is fast, reliable, and beautiful. And I use the original languages because in my (Protestant) view of...
Orthodox Christianity makes the bold claim of being the original Christian Church and the original Christian faith. How does this shape how Orthodox approach Bible study? Orthodox Bible study sees itself as part of a flowing stream of Holy Tradition...
My vocation is systematic theology. My vision of theology is that of a catholic Wesleyanism. I want to promote and pursue—and indeed to produce—theology that is fundamentally creedal and confessional; straightforwardly Protestant and evangelical;...
Is Christmas a Christian holiday? Yes. Yes, it is. I’m being definitive up front because so many today are committed to the public and often gleeful discrediting of Christmas. Some such naysayers are devoutly Christian and seeking earnestly to...
Why limit theological training to just pastors? Theology (theo, God; logia, study of) is the study of who God is and what he is like. With a subject that vast, those who plan to lead churches often spend large amounts of time and money pursuing...
Evangelicals have long contributed highly-respected works to biblical scholarship. Evangelicals have also earned considerable respect in the philosophical guild. Much of this labor has been spent on apologetics, which has raised the bar on Christian...
The author of Hebrews presents us with vivid imagery of Old Covenant worship in the tabernacle and temple, its priests, and the sacrifices they offered. But what, if anything, does this have to do with my worship as a Christian? Do we still worship...
1. Isaiah 9:6–7 For a child has been born for us; a son has been given to us. And the dominion will be on his shoulder, and his name is called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His dominion will grow continually...
From Thanksgiving to Christmas Day, you won’t need to look—or listen?—far to run into a Christmas song or two. They’re playing in the background of grocery stores and coffee shops aplenty. But when we let Christmas songs sit in the background they...
Have you ever been in a worship service and looked at the faces around you? What about a worship service where you know for a fact that the Lord was moving? Souls are singing loudly and connecting with God in ways that only unity could bring about...
Although the new Logos released just a few weeks ago, we’re already making it even better. We’re obsessed with making the best, easiest-to-use, and most in-depth Bible study platform for pastors, scholars, and serious students of the Bible. Read...
Christian feast days—what are they? Far from being a strange and sour corruption from the late middle ages, the feast days of the church—or what is called the liturgical calendar—offer Christians a gospel-centered way of walking through the year...
When God established the feasts in the Old Testament, he set milestones to remind his people about who he was and how he had rescued them (over and over). While many Christians no longer celebrate the feasts, there are still plenty of places on our...
Christmas is upon us, and it’s a vital time for solid, gospel-focused preaching. Below we offer some unexpected Christmas texts worth using—plus some tips for how Logos can help you discover new Christmas sermon ideas. Plus, we’ll share why...
Anglican? Is that like Episcopalian? What's the difference? On one level, there is a general confusion as to what these words mean in their historical and grammatical sense. On another level, there is confusion surrounding how the meanings of these...
This article was originally published in December of 2022. “Advent is for the few.” That’s one of the first things Rev. Fleming Rutledge said to me in our recent interview about the Advent season. This time of year, it’s easy to let our imaginations...
Did you attend church on Sunday? If so, you’re part of an increasingly rare minority. In fact, fewer people regularly attend church now than at any time in American history. Why is this? What follows is a testimony—a confession—of my five decades...
With the advent of the internet, we parents deal with a constant flow of parenting tips and tricks. Fresh data comes every week. Influencers tell us about new studies that should supposedly change how we parent. The ground beneath our feet feels...

What is Advent? Advent is a season in the church calendar that spans the four weeks leading up to Christmas and ends on December 24. Each Sunday coincides with the lighting of one of four candles—a purple one on the first, second, and fourth Sunday...
G. K. Chesterton claimed he never discussed anything except politics and religion stating there was nothing else to discuss. By this, he meant these two topics compass the whole of human activity and thought. I believed that valuing religion and...
From the window of graduate student housing at Emory University, my mother recalls watching an older man carrying a heavy sack and placing a book at the doorstep of each of the apartments, one after the other. And then this St. Nicholas-like man...
When I first read about a large language model called ChatGPT from OpenAI, I knew that my life as the dean of the School of Theology at Colorado Christian University had forever changed. I understood that this would be yet another reason for...
Imagine yourself in a courtroom where God himself is the prosecutor. The heavens and earth are called as witnesses, and the lawsuit is against none other than his own people. The charge? Rebellion—despite all the love and care God had shown them...
Editor’s note: The articles in our political theology series are the opinions of the authors, not those of Logos. We are publishing a breadth of voices to reflect varying perspectives within the church. With the upcoming presidential election...
To profess the Christian faith is to make a profound theological and political claim. If God raised Jesus from the dead, that necessitates we confess him as Lord. But to declare Jesus is Lord in a world of many lords is a dangerous thing to do. Over...
