The Gospel Coalition Conference: Additional Highlights From Day 1

Day 1 here at the conference not only included some great teaching sessions, but also plenty of time to meet new people and build some new relationships. A few highlights for me:-Meeting and hanging with fellow blogger Erik Raymond.-Chatting with Justin Taylor.  Our conversation included talking about how a version of this biblical theology diagram that I posted a few weeks back will be appearing in the forthcoming ESV Study Bible that Justin is editing.-Talking with Gary Shavey who had a busy day of conducting interviews for Resurgence.-Having dinner with Collin Hansen, Associate Editor for Christianity Today. Over a tasty meal of chicken and cheesecake Collin and I got to know each other and had one long, running conversation about theology. Good times. I've always liked Collin's writing (I especially enjoyed Collin's cover article for the September, 2006 issue of CT). Now I know that I also like Collin..
