How would you describe yourself theologically?
I would consider myself a traditional Anglican. I believe that true Anglicanism (not the silliness expressed in much of the Episcopal Church) expresses a richness in its theological and liturgical traditions that is the equal of anything within the churches of the Reformation.
Who is the greatest theologian in the last 2000 years? (Besides Biblical People!)
St. Athanasius

Sola Scriptura in the 21st Century

Ask any Protestant from where they derive their doctrine and the answer will be some variant of "scripture alone." This doctrine, known by the Latin phrase sola scriptura, is one of the core principles of the Protestant Reformation and states that only Holy Scripture can be considered to be an infalible doctrinal authority. Yet there remains the obvious problem that Protestants cannot agree on what exactly Scripture is saying. Ask Baptists, Anglicans, Lutherans, Presbyterians, Methodists,… Continue

Conspiracy Theories for the Christian Blogger

Recently on my website, I published a review of Gail A. Riplinger's New Age Bible Versions - a paranoid rant against the use of any translation other than the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible. Riplinger, who is demonstrably unqualified to make any such judgement, argued that the newer translations such as the NASB, NIV, RSV, NRSV, etc. are part of some satanic plot to deny Christians the true Word of God. The whol… Continue

Jack,

I have seen the usage of "type" and "antitype" but it is somwhat confused and probably due to misudnerstandings. The prefix "anti-" means against and does not really convey the meaning described.

Types are something that points to something else by conveying part of the other's essence in some symbolic or actual sense. Types are often temporally prior but this is not necessary. For example, in Catholic theology the priest is seen as a type of Christ but obviously follows Christ temporally. When something is meant to be understood as a type foreshadowing the thing it points to then it is called an "antetype". The prefix "ante-" means before and hence, for example, the Church Fathers prior to the Council of Nicea are called the "Ante-Nicene Fathers".

Albert; your use of the word "antetype" confuses me.
I am familiar with the terms used like this: Adam was the TYPE, and Christ was the ANTITYPE. (Rom 5:14)
Can you refer me to an explanation of "antetype" as you have used it? I hope you won't feel that I'm being PIKKY. Jack, the Geezer

Welcome. I was baptised Anglican. However, I would consider myself Evangelical. However, I value my Anglican and Catholic roots to a certian level. Even my Lutheran roots on my great great grandfather's side (a Lutheran minister from Denmark).

Michael,

Thank you for the welcome and the compliment. I would consider myself Evangelical in the sense of sharing the Gospel but not in the sense of the current state of Evangelicalism. I would consider myself Catholic in the sense of sharing the faith of what has been believed in all times and places by all orthodox Christians but not in the sense of what is promulgated by Rome. I guess that makes me an Evangelicatholic Anglican.

Albert, welcome to the site. Great website you have there. I can't believe all the books you have reviewed. I read through a few of them...great job.

Would you describe yourself as an evangelical anglican?
