So I know I haven't been around much lately. I've gotten so lazy with this blog. I've been promising at least one blog on Catholicism for a while now. That posting is sitting in the draft box, still incomplete. But I've been taking some time out to study the Word more and I hope to have that blog completed and available for you guys to read by no later than Thursday. So please check back. I'd also like to warn you guys- I doubt I'm taking the direction you expected me to take with the Catholic post I'm working on.
Now for the real reason why I'm posting right now- I learned last night that in 2010 "Amazing Grace 2: The Foundations Of Reformed Theology" will be released on DVD. This is such awesomeness!! The first DVD, "Amazing Grace: History and Theology of Calvinism" was so great. It served as an excellent introduction into the world of soteriology and covered the basics from a Calvinist perspective. I highly recommend this DVD for anyone who is seriously trying to examine Calvinism.
As for the second film it will cover the 5 Solas and why the Reformers insisted on them. But the brief preview I read says that they will cover some of what has plagued the Church and it mentions "emotional experientialism". While I haven't seen this DVD yet, I'm pretty sure that section is going to be about the Charismatic movement or Pentecostal Churches and the emphasis they place on emotion. So I probably won't be super fond of that section since I do come from a Pentecostal background. I think there is plenty of room for the Pentecostal faith within the realm of Calvinism, but I seem to be one of the rare few that holds this belief. But other than that, I'm super excited to see this DVD.
I know this is kind of geeky of us, but my friend Daniel and I are eagerly awaiting the release of this DVD. Daniel and his wife Becky are both Calvinists. While I'm not yet a Calvinist, I appreciate Calvinism and view it as a consistent system of soteriology that will effect your entire system of theology. But Reformed theology is more than just Calvinism and I'm happy to see another resource explaining this. I only wish 2010 was closer so I could start counting down the days til I watch this.
