There’s Humor in Theology

As Calvinism becomes more mainstream in evangelicalism, inevitably it will be communicated by some rather [interesting] bizzarre characters (for anecdotal evidence of Calvinism’s mainstream status, see this article in CT by Collin Hansen, or a fuller account by the same author, see Young, Restless, Reformed).

A little scared? Well, you’re not alone. Hansen shares the story of one young woman who understands how you feel: “Nothing in her evangelical upbringing prepared Laura Watkins for John Piper. ‘I was used to a very conversational preaching style,’ said Watkins, 21. ‘And having someone wave his arms and talk really loudly made me a little scared.’ Watkins shouldn’t be embarrassed. Piper does scare some people.”
