Mohler at BYU – Al Mohler was asked to speak at Brigham Young University. Here’s some of what he said: “The presence of the president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary behind the podium at Brigham Young University requires some explanation. I come as an evangelical Christian, committed to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to the trinitarian beliefs of the historic Christian faith…”

Casting Out the Devil – Craig Keener writes about the decision of the people who made Son of God to eliminate the devil from the story.
