David Van Biema interviewed Al Mohler for Time magazine regarding Dr. Mohler’s recent hospitalization and near death. Dr. Mohler’s words are a fine example of the practicality of serious theology. Those who dismiss the importance of doctrine in Christian discipleship should read this interview very carefully and be challenged to rethink their views. His words are also very helpful in showing how Calvinism is not simply is not in any sense a detraction from biblical Christianity, it is a humble and imminently practical submission to what the Bible teaches about the nature of the Christian faith.
