Brain Drain

Imagine you’re a sharp young NT scholar of Reformed conviction, who wants to engage the latest NT scholarship fairly, critically, and appreciatively where appropriate.

Imagine you’re a theologian of Reformed inclinations who’s looking for a place to do creative theological work.

Imagine you’re a Reformed Old Testament scholar who wants his OT scholarship to inform his understanding of systematic theology in a vigorous manner.

Imagine you’re a theologian who thinks that there are still things to be discovered in Scripture even about settled Reformed convictions like justification by faith and election.

Imagine you’re a theologian who loves Luther and Calvin and the Puritans, and the Westminster Confession and Three Forms, and yet doesn’t believe they said everything or said everything that might be said.

If you were one of these, and you were looking for an ecclesiastical place to raise your flag, where would you go? What Reformed denomination would be attractive to you? What Reformed denomination would leave you room to serve the church in freedom?
