	John Piper (theologian) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Stephen Piper (born 1946) is a reformed Baptist minister and author, currently serving as senior pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, MN.
		Piper's reaction to his diagnosis was characteristically humble: "This news has, of course, been good for me. The most dangerous thing in the world is the sin of self-reliance and the stupor of worldliness.
		John Piper's motto in ministry, preaching and teaching is derived from his hero, Jonathan Edwards: "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him." He calls those who live out this motto, Christian Hedonists.

	[No title]
		Piper pointed out that when the Bible says in Psalm 96:3, "Declare his glory among the nations," it is God who inspired the words of the writer and thus God who is speaking.
		Piper pointed to biblical evidence in the life, ministry and death of Jesus that the love of God is not His making much of His children, but rather of enabling them to enjoy making much of God forever.
		Piper asserted that within John 11:1-6, love prompted Jesus to let Lazarus die because it is more loving to display the glory of God than it is to rescue people from death on earth.

	Passion for Piper? Desiring God and 'Christian Hedonism'
		John Piper is the Senior Pastor at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis.
		Piper believes that grace was operative in the 'Covenant of works' from the beginning, in other words that even in his unfallen state Adam related to God by grace not through meritorious works.
		Moreover, given the relatively minor theological debate (in the grand scheme of theological battles!) to move from criticism of Piper's view of grace to a charge of unorthodoxy is not reflective of the scholarly style in which the booklet is couched.

	Book Review: God's Passion for His Glory
		Piper, also a theologian and Bible scholar (neither of which should be unusual for a pastor), writes four chapters to introduce Jonathan Edwards' magnificent essay, "The End for Which God Created the World," for which he also contributes many helpful footnotes.
		Piper recounts the transforming impact Edwards' Biblical vision-that God created the world for the manifestation of His glory in the highest happiness of His creatures (which is one purpose, not two)-has had upon his own life and ministry.
		Piper also includes a brief biography of Edwards and gives plenty of reasons to read this challenging essay by the greatest mind to appear on the American scene.

	Jesus Creed » The Gospel acc. to John (Piper)
		Piper’s take or angle on presenting the gospel is to look at its doxological focus or its aim for a human to become enthralled with the glory of God as what gives humans their greatest joy.
		Piper’s focus is on “union with God” and there is nothing that animates my own view of the gospel more than the perichoretic life of God that pulses within the godhead and, to recall Jonathan Edwards myself, which gave God the impetus to spread that love into Creation.
		John, I don’t anyone who knows the history would think that Calvin personally lit the fires that burned Servetus, but you make it sound as if he was more of an innocent bystander than he was.

		Piper is able to communicate the message of his book and at the same time convey his passion for the subject.

		John Piper is one of the giants of modern Christian writing, and this book is another showcase of his gifts.
		Piper spreads his personal legalistic view of Christianity by using scare tactics to try to convince that any lifestyle other than that of a foreign missionary is a waste of a life.
		Having heard John Piper speak at the NC Evangelism Conference (by the way -- great conference and the messages are available for free download at www.calvarynow.com/evangelism), and knowing that he was preparing for major prostate surgery, I felt compelled to read yet another of the works of this great man of God.

		This has been the historic Protestant understanding of the "imputation of Christ's righteousness," but John Piper warns that we are in danger of losing this doctrine today, because of attacks by scholars within the evangelical camp.
		In response, Piper shows, in careful treatment of passage after passage, that the imputation of Christ's righteousness to believers is clearly the teaching of the Bible, and if we abandon this doctrine we will also lose justification by faith alone.
		Here John Piper passionately demonstrates the relevance of Edwards' ideals for the personal and public life of modern evangelicals through his own book-length introduction to Edwards' incomparable essay, and the inclusion of that original, unabridged work.

		Piper's book "Don't Waste Your Life," is a short but important read that really pushes us all toward how we can and should find ways to, as Bob Burford would say, move to a life of signficance for the kingdom.
		So to say back to Piper that open theists do believe God is sovereign just seems false to me. It's true that open theists believe they believe God to be sovereign, but Piper is not going to consider that a true belief about their belief, and I have to agree.
		John Piper is one of my heroes primarily as a preacher and thinker.

		A Godward Life is the first of three devotional volumes by John Piper, each feature 120 vignettes that focus on the radical difference it makes when we choose to live with God at the center of all that we do.
		John Piper, pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis since 1980, is the author of The Dangerous Duty of Delight, Desiring God, Future Grace, A Godward Life, and The Pleasures of God.
		Piper's main emphasis is (and you'll read this over and over again) "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied (or delighted) in Him." This is a biblical and wonderful proposition that Piper became aware of through the writings of Jonathan Edwards.

	Christian license (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Piper is right to say that we can speak of God's sovereign will in tragic situations, but we are not licensed to do so in lieu of compassion or aid, which is what too many people are apt to do.
		Piper is right that since we are ourselves evil, every time evil hits us it is righteous punishment for our sins.
		But Piper is right to recognize that none of us, and none of the tsunami's victims, are innocent--and that evil, although it is completely despicable and worthless, still fulfills a divine retributive purpose when it blows up in the faces of the guilty.

		Perhaps you are making more of Piper's title and understanding more than what it seems (just like you, I have not read the book), but knowing a bit about Piper's theology, I think it is safe to say that he is within the confines of orthodoxy in the meaning of his words.

	"Free Will and Responsibility" by John Byl
		The evangelical theologian Norman Geisler (1999), for example, contends that human decisions are neither determined nor uncaused but, rather, self-caused.
		My answer to the question about what restrains God’s will to save all people is this: it is God’s supreme commitment to uphold and display the full range of his glory through the sovereign demonstration of all his perfections, including his wrath and mercy, for the enjoyment of his chosen and believing people.

		In the prologue of John (1:1-18) theos is without the article in verses 1, 6, 12, 13 and 18 and in verses 6, 12, 13, and 18 theos is referring to the "Father," whom JWs say is Jehovah.
		In view of John’s theology, along with the grammar and context, the highest semantical possibility for theos is qualitative.
		Example in John 1:18 God theos (Jesus) is the subject and theon (the Father) is the object of the clause.
