The Moscow Mood for DeYoung, Restless, and Reformed | Reformation And Revival

Every now and then the Lord tees one up for you. And this He has done in Kevin DeYoung’s critique of the Moscow mood. You have certainly heard of this piece by now, in which DeYoung exemplifies his careful analysis and honest assessment, which really boils down to, “Yes, the Moscow thing has done some good, but I’m very concerned about the long term spiritual effects of the Moscow mood, a mood which pretty much doesn’t comport with Christian virtue.” I say that the Lord has teed this one up, because DeYoung’s critique is both quite plausible to a good portion of the Reformed and Evangelical world, and it is at the same time a critique that has significantly missed the mark and exposed problems in that slice of the Reformed and Evangelical world that appreciates his critique. When something like that happens, we really do need to discuss it. But first let me point you to some key responses.
