Ask Professor Olson about Theology<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

One of my favorite channels on Youtube is one where people write in questions for \u201cPastor John [Piper]\u201d I decided to invite you, anyone, to ask me a question about Christian theology. Please keep it brief and specific and know that I may or may not be able to answer. I\u2019m sure \u201cPastor Piper\u201d doesn\u2019t answer every questions submitted. I\u2019ll select ones that I am especially interested in answering.<\/p>\n

As always, I will not post comments or questions here that are hostile or argumentative or that contain pictures or links.<\/p>\n

If you doubt my competence to answer questions about Christian theology (broadly defined), please read my Wikipedia page which is mostly correct. (I didn\u2019t write it and don\u2019t know who did.)<\/p>\n

I look forward to your questions! Question away!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
