In this case, it is the science of Biblical interpretation, specifically. How do Bible readers derive meaning from the text?

But in light of a broader reading, is this a tenable interpretation?2022-02-0814 minThe Baptist BroadcastThe Baptist BroadcastThe Covenant of Redemption & the Doctrine of the TrinityHow are we to understand an eternal covenant of redemption in God in light of a single essence in three relations—Father, Son, and Spirit?

But is it true?2022-01-1134 minThe Baptist BroadcastThe Baptist BroadcastJohn Calvin's Use of Natural TheologySome have recently utilized both Dr. Richard Muller and John Calvin to downplay any place for natural theology.

In this podcast I try to wrestle with these questions in a meaningful way.2021-11-2132 minThe Baptist BroadcastThe Baptist BroadcastAll About HeresyAnother discussion is currently rising out from under the already tumultuous waters of current discussion concerning what heresy is.

What is it?2021-11-1529 minThe Baptist BroadcastThe Baptist BroadcastOwen Strachan, Subordination, God and His WorksIn a recent podcast, Dr. Owen Strachan unloaded a volley of texts in favor of eternal subordination of the Son (to the Father).

But such a fad is leading many not to differ with Thomas so much as it's leading them to deny Augustinian theology proper, which has always been understood to be nothing short of apostolic doctrine.2021-10-1115 minThe Baptist BroadcastThe Baptist BroadcastHow Denying Pure Actuality in God Kicks Open the Door for CRTWhy must we maintain strong theology proper in terms of immutability and simplicity? Because the rejection of it is also the rejection of all objective meaning.2021-10-0717 minThe Baptist BroadcastThe Baptist BroadcastAristotle & the Infallibility of ScriptureJettisoning truth because of its association with a person is a fatal mistake for any theologian to make, as is hopefully made obvious here.2021-10-0614 minThe Baptist BroadcastThe Baptist BroadcastShould We Compromise on the Doctrine of God for the Sake of a Conference?Why does it seem like the doctrine of God is being relegated to a secondary or even tertiary issue?2021-10-0525 minThe Baptist BroadcastThe Baptist BroadcastWilliam Lane Craig on the Historical AdamWilliam Lane Craig's article on the historical Adam is set to make a splash, even before his book on the matter publishes.

These shots over the bow have been quite embarrassing from a scholarly perspective, to say the least. In this video, I will once more labor to demonstrate the natural theology of the Reformers and the post-Reformed, much of which is in continuity with Thomas and other medieval thinkers.2021-09-0132 minThe Baptist BroadcastThe Baptist BroadcastThe Orthodoxy of Natural Theology: Savoy Independents & Particular BaptistsIn this last part of my two-part mini series on natural theology, I will look at natural theology as it appears in the Savoy Declaration, the 2nd London Baptist Confession & Keach's Catechism.2021-09-0113 minThe Baptist BroadcastThe Baptist BroadcastThe Orthodoxy of Natural Theology: The ReformedIn this first installment of a two-part special, I will look at natural theology as it appears in confessional Reformed orthodoxy.
