Gospel Coalition Statement of Faith
Wow. Now this is a really good statement of faith, put out by the Gospel Coalition. If you only have time to read a little, jump to the end and read pps 7-12 to see how they apply their understanding of the gospel (but it really is worth reading the whole thing). Anyone know who's behind this? (Answer: Tim Keller and D. A. Carson, among others).
What I like about this is that it combines the theological (what we believe) with the contextual (how we see this applying in ministry). And I think that connection is extremely important - because the gospel is ultimately more than just our theology; it's also a function of how we use apply that theology to a given context, and incorporate that theology as part of our identity.
True theology can still be false religion if I am attempting to use it as the basis for my identity.
Addendum #1 - Reformed News has a description of what this thing is here.
Addendum #2 - notes from Tim Keller's talk at the conference.
Addendum #3 - notes from Sandy Wilson's talk
