Hey Ed --
Thanks for making all of this available to us. This is all great info. I know this is an issue all of my college students ask about regularly. Almost to the point of me being tired of talking about it! This helps me be more informed.
I look forward to seeing you when you get back into Hendersonville
Blessings, bro. Keep up the good work. We sure do appreciate you here at FBC.

Thanks for providing all the info and links. I really wish I were at the conference.
Any papers you can link are appreciated because, as a hearing-impaired person, I have difficulty listening to podcasts.

Hello, David Nelson's preaching on the atonement kind of goes silent in the middle of it. Do you know what happened to this audio?

Hello Ed,
it seems to get cut off around 18:00 of the mp3 and then silence. Then seems to presume around 27:00 and then silence again sometime later on. It's ashame because David Nelson gets cut off in during his key points. :o( I hope this is just a corrupted version and that the whole sermon was correctly recorded. Thanks for your help though Ed. Will now have to listen to Dr. Waldron's sermon. :o) Really wanted to hear both sides of the argument....

Ed,
Sorry I missed the gathering, but thanks for helping us be a part of it from a distance. I'm evaluating a new angle on this debate. It's far better than Amyrault's categories. I think it could be called "Stetzerian." I'll pass it by you when I have the finished product :).
Still praying for you and your family on Tuesdays at 9:30am.
Peace brother!
Eric

All, thanks for letting us know about the Nelson file. Sorry about that. I just sent a new version to our IT and the very capable guy there will get it corrected. Look for it later today.

Ed, were the messages by Al Mohler and James Merritt recorded? They don't show up anywhere.

Bill, good to hear from you. I don't know if they were recorded but I will check.

Bill (and a host of others), regarding the Monday night sermons: We do not have Drs. Mohler or Merritt sermons. The worship services were not originally planned to be part of the recorded material and unfortunately we did not capture that audio. Very sorry. an oversight on our part.
SEBTS does have versions of the audio captured by a student using a handheld recorder. It is pretty rough.
