The Week-est Link, August 16, 2008: The Death of Death

1. Have you read J. I. Packer’s classic introduction to John Owen’s The Death of Death in the Death of Christ? If not, you should. It’s illuminating and expanding. (HT: Monergism)

2. The Southern Seminary fall chapel calendar is up. Note the Darrell Bock Gheens Lectures in early November. (HT: Blake White)

3. Interesting Mark Driscoll video on the Bible’s use of harsh language. This is a tough issue, particularly on matters of personal application.

4. McCain and Obama are at Saddleback Church, the church that Rick Warren pastors, for a discussion of issues of faith and humanitarian concern. The New York Times has noticed.

–Have a refreshing weekend, all.
