Triablogue has a post today commenting on Craig Blomberg’s “Why I Am A Calminian” which quite nicely dismantles the idea of middle knowledge.

Uh oh. Linking to Triablogue?
“Another reason that godly, Bible-believing Christians can disagree over the five-points of Calvinism is a lack of clear thinking. Indeed, Blomberg will be furnishing some examples.”
Gotta love a flamethrower sometimes, don’tcha?
Very good insight here (with broad implications):
“We need to draw a firm distinction between what the Bible teaches and the impression that makes on some readers. Does the Bible teach a paradoxical relation between God’s sovereignty and human responsibility? Is the (alleged) paradoxicality of that relation part of the Biblical teaching itself? Does Scripture assert that this relationship is paradoxical? Or does it simply strike some readers as paradoxical? The fact that some readers can’t harmonize the two doesn’t mean that Scripture itself is affirming a paradox. This is not a Scriptural claim.”
The discussion with Blomberg in the combox was interesting as well…
