Evening Prayer
I bought myself a new recording microphone for my birthday and decided to record the evening office for today. I backed it with Gregorian chant. I really like the result! I plan to do more of this and also scripture. If interested, you can download the mp3 here. Greg Jeffers · Evening Prayer Continue reading

The Divine Council and The Communion of Saints
In this post I defend the doctrine of the Communion of Saints using Mike Heiser’s work on the Divine Council. * * * Dr. Mike Heiser in his book The Unseen Realm synthesizes what scholarship has known for some time about the way that Ancient Israelites, Second Temple Jews, and First Century Christians would have Continue reading

Penal Substitutionary Atonement: A Sub-biblical Distortion of the Gospel
As we approach passion week and the end of the Lenten season, I wanted to write about a topic that has long been important to me but which I have never systematically addressed: the doctrine of the atonement. The atonement is the doctrine that says that since Christ was crucified, died, was buried, descended to Continue reading

Why I am an (Anglo) Catholic.
I have a post published several years ago about why I am not a Roman Catholic. I largely concluded that I wasn’t a Roman Catholic (despite my affinity for RC liturgical practices and historic beauty) because I just could not assent to the necessary development of the monarchical episcopate. What I meant was that at Continue reading

Luke 22: A Lenten Reflection
I was listening to an episode of the Naked Bible Podcast the other day and they had on the show a guest who spent some time explaining the very enigmatic passage in Luke 22 when Jesus orders his disciples to purchase two swords and then, just a few verses later, orders them to put the Continue reading

My Personal Theology (updated February 2025)
It should surprise absolutely no one who knows me well that I spend way too much time putting myself and others in boxes. In fact, I once wrote a post in which I confessed the sin that is sometimes present in doing just that. In any case, since my return to historically orthodox Christian theology Continue reading

Independence Day
What a strange independence day. Unlike most of the bbq and firework and card game filled memories of previous July 4ths, this time America is under threat in a way it hasn’t been since 1918. Of course, in addition to the pandemic currently raging, we are in the midst of a societal reckoning around racism, Continue reading

Why Grammar?
Perhaps you’ve seen the meme floating around with a terrified grandma quaking beneath a sign that reads “let’s eat Grandma!” followed by a sign that reads “let’s eat, Grandma!” At the very bottom of the image we have the punch line: punctuation saves lives! With the single insertion of a comma, we are told, cannibalizing Continue reading

The Epistle of Paul to the Ephesians
Amanda got me the box set of the ESV Reader’s Bible for my birthday. They are the regular ESV translation but the typeset, the page thickness, and the binding all make the experience more like reading a normal book. And there are no chapter or verse divisions! Anyhow, rather than stopping to parse every verse, Continue reading

Servant of the Servants of God: Toward a Mutualist Ecclesiology
The article below is something I wrote recently defending my position that women are called to all offices in the church. I hope it proves edifying. Continue reading

A Meaningless Pandemic
And behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him (Revelation 6:8). Since the onslaught of COVID-19 began, and since dramatic actions unseen in living memory (the closure of schools and businesses as well as the edicts of local and regional governing authorities, backed by the Continue reading

Never Forget
I was 11 years old and in the sixth grade. I heard the news at school but didn’t really understand. Kids kept being picked up by worried parents; rumors flew that Houston would be next. I got home that afternoon and sat in front of CNN until my parents got home while watching the planes–the footage Continue reading

Fall and the Coming Renewal (5)
Every year around this time I move from hating (but tolerating) the summer sun and heat to actively hating it. The reason for this (I surmise) is that this is the time of the year when school restarts, and it seems monstrous to me to have school starting while it is summer outside! In any Continue reading

Christian Marriage: Difference and Mutual Submission
Introduction I am writing this article to put forward an argument for mutual submission in marriage. I affirm that men and women are ontologically different from one another in complementary ways, but their differences do not justify a hierarchy in marriage. Before I dive in, I want to be clear about the following things: I Continue reading

Theodicy
The heart that beats against the prison bars of guilt and soured love and apathy must fail in pain before the cold that mars all teeming life, love, and harmony. For hearts are flesh and blood and soul divine, while cold metal is but the bones of earth and unyielding in its rigid design, stoic Continue reading
