5 Reasons Why You Need To Come Hear Graeme Goldsworthy

I am making plans to be on campus as much as possible next week (March 18-20) for the Gheens Lectures with Dr. Graeme Goldsworthy.

His book According to Plan may be the most over assigned book in the Southern Seminary curriculum. All the same it’s a great book and not a bad one to read 4 times.

  1. Hearing his Austrian Australian accent will make his books easier to read

    You mean Australian accent? Like “Gday, mate?” Not Austrian as in “Adolf?”

    I will not be able to attend the Q&A on Tuesday nor the lecture on Wednesday, but I do plan on attending and blogging the Tuesday/Thursday chapels. So…Tony, if you want to knock some rust off your fingers, then feel free to blog the others.

    Weds is no good for me and my one live blog was torture! Maybe one of our other guys can step up.

    But maybe we can sit together on the other days (Lord willing) and try to act normal.

    If I acted normal, people might begin to question what is going on. We’d probably get tackled by security ‘for precautionary measures.’ Anyway, I usually sit right next to the camera that is located in the pews to the right of the chapel as you are looking at the pulpit. I get there pretty early–usually one of the first in the chapel that is not singing.

    Right. On second thought I might just sit in the balcony with the chosen frozen.

    Do everything you can to get there! He lectured me at Moore College Sydney, and he is a humble, lovely man, who loves the Lord greatly, and communicates this truth of the Bible beautifully.
    He will clearly show that the whole Bible is about Jesus, from cover to cover.
    Cancel everything!!!!
