Join Michal and Mark in exploring Christian theology and piety through John Calvin’s “Institutes of the Christian Religionâ€.
We're back after a long break and kickstart our return with looking at sections 1-10 of Ch 5 of Book 1, where we discuss the two great classes of God's providential works as His self-revelation. This is Part 1 of Institutes 1.5.
We speak about how everyone stifles the knowledge of God and how this leads to false and superstitious worship. We also talk about Lent and Ravi Zacharias. Finally, we realise that four episodes in, we're still technically inept and thus seek pardon for the poorer audio quality this time around.
We talk about how every person created in the image of God has the knowledge of God implanted in their mind and what this means for those who deny God.
Continuing Calvin's exposition on the knowledge of God, we look at what it really means to know the true God truly.
We talk about how the knowledge of God and of ourselves are connected and why proper theology gives rise to correct self-awareness.
The first ever episode looks at the life of John Calvin, why he wrote the Institutes of the Christian Religion and his continued relevance for today.
