Faculty shoRTS: Has the Definitive Dogmatic Theology Written (ft. Cameron Clausing)

With the theological conferences well under way, Dr. Tommy Keene sits down with Dr. Carmeron Clausing to discuss Bavinck's view of the relationship between history and theology. Theology, Cam tells us, is absolute and true, but also constrained and contextualized by the historical moment.

Faculty shoRTS: Job and Redemptive History (ft. Stephen Coleman)
Job (along with other OT wisdom literature) is often seen as a challenge for those committed to a redemptive-historical approach to Scripture. Can we read Job in its own original context while also seeing it as a part of God's progressive revelation of His kingdom, fulfilled in Christ? Dr. Stephen Coleman argues we can.

Episode 177: Is there an Unforgivable Sin (Mark 3:28-29)? 
What does Jesus mean when he says that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven? Is he speaking hyperbolically? What is the sin against the Spirit? Drs. Redd, Lee, Jeon, and Keene talk about this and related texts alongside the doctrines of perseverance and assurance.

Faculty shoRTS: Adamic Christology in Hebrews (ft. Tim Bertolet)
Adam is never mentioned in Hebrews and yet the argument of the book makes copious use of an Adamic Christology (similar to that of Paul). Where do we see that emphases and how does it help us better understand the book? Tommy talks with Hebrews scholar Tim Bertolet about about the subject and his new book.

Episode 178: Can We (and Should we) Harmonize Synoptic Texts (John 2)?

Does Jesus cleanse the temple twice? How do we navigate seemingly conflicting accounts of the same event in the Bible? While harmonization may be a necessary step in understanding how the Bible provides "a window" into history, it can also distract us from seeing "the portrait" painted by each particular text. The faculty discuss the tension involved in this dynamic and how these issues ultimately reinforce the trustworthiness of God's word.

Episode 201: An Introduction to Ezekiel

Our main course for the podcast this season will be an exegetical and theological "tour" of Ezekiel. Today we introduced the book and the author. What is unique about Ezekiel? How does it fit in the rest of Scripture? What are its key themes and how is it structured?

Also this week, we introduce (or re-introduce) a new segment: Professorial Plugs, were we talk about the things we're reading, watching, or listening to. Stay till the end!

An Introduction to Ezekiel

Episode 204. "Election Reflections"
"Look to the rock from which you were hewn" (Isa. 51:1). We were all a bit surprised this morning by the discovery that the results of yesterday's election had, in fact, been called. Whether you are elated and discouraged by the news, there's no denying that emotions are high and that there is division even in the body of Christ. We take a break from our regularly scheduled programming to discuss the unifying and peacemaking perspective provided by the Kingdom of God.
