Earlier this week Andy Naselli interviewed me about my dissertation. I was glad to find someone other than my committee read it and thought it had some wider value 🙂 Check out the interview over at andynaselli.com.

I like what you are saying. Having studied William Strong (d. 1654) in depth, I’ve found a great synthesis of exegetical theology and systematic theology in him. I find Puritans like him to be far more well-integrated than moderns. They exegete texts, synthesize data from all over the Bible, organize information into theological models, choose hermeneutical standpoints, and they do it all with a educated eye on what their predecessors said. So a blend of exegetical, systematic, and historical theology. Reading Strong scratched all the right itches.

And thank you to Forward Design for that cover!

Yes, it was reading the Reformation and Post-Reformation commentators that raised my interest in my topic. Sadly, these were not the men that most TIS proponents were looking to as models.
And, Mark, thank you indeed for designing the cover 🙂
