N. Gray Sutanto offers a fresh reading of Herman Bavinck's theological epistemology and argues that his Trinitarian and organic worldview utilizes an extensive range of sources. Sutanto unfolds Bavinck's understanding of what he considered to be the two most important aspects of epistemology: the character of the sciences and the correspondence between subjects and objects. Writing at the heels of the European debates in the 19th and 20th centuries concerning theology's place in the academy, and rooted in historic Christian teachings, Sutanto demonstrates how Bavinck's argument remains fresh and provocative. God and Knowledge: Herman Bavinck's Theological Epistemology (T&T Clark, 2021) explores archival material and peripheral works translated for the first time in English. The author re-reads several key concepts, ranging from Organicism to the Absolute, and relates Bavinck's work to Thomas Aquinas, Eduard von Hartmann, and other thinkers. Sutanto applies this reading to current debates on the relationship between theology and philosophy, nature and grace, and the nature of knowing; and in doing so provides students and scholars with fresh methods of considering Orthodox and modern forms of thought, and their connection with each other. Dr. Sutanto serves as the Associate Professor of Systematic Theology at Reformed Theological Seminary, Washington D.C. and an associate editor of the Journal of Reformed Theology. He has received visiting fellowships at the Theological University of Kampen-Utrecht and Princeton Theological Seminary. He is a member of the Evangelical Theological Society and is on the steering committee for the Reformed Theology and History Unit of the American Academy of Religion. Along with the theologian Herman Bavinck, Dr. Sutanto's research interests are broad, ranging from modern Protestant theology, prolegomena, humanity and sin, the relationship between philosophy and theology, analytic theology, and Christianity and culture. For previous NBN conversations on similar topics, see these interviews on Herman Bavinck's Christology and academic addresses or an introduction on Neo-Calvinism or the T&T Clark handbook on the global movement.

Saving Elephants | Millennials defending & expressing conservative values
What does it mean to love your country? Is that nationalism? And isn't nationalism—you know—bad? And how should our allegiance and love of country be weighed against our duties and affections to family and faith? Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis is joined by John Wilsey to discuss his latest book, God and Country: Upholding Faith, History, and National Identity, the origins of nationalism and how it differs from patriotism, the link between history and love of ones country, the battles between the Romantics and Rationalists, and that great public servant, the freak show John Quincy Adams.

The Book of Revelation is one of the most debated, most misunderstood, and most avoided books in the entire Bible. But what if the key to unlocking it has been sitting in your Bible the whole time? In this episode of The Dig In Podcast, Johnny Ova sits down with Dr. Greg Beale, one of the most influential New Testament scholars in the world and the author of the legendary 1,300-page NIGTC commentary that many consider the greatest ever written on the Book of Revelation. Dr. Beale holds a PhD from Cambridge, has taught at Westminster Theological Seminary, Wheaton, and Gordon-Conwell, served as President of the Evangelical Theological Society, and currently serves as Professor of New Testament at Reformed Theological Seminary in Dallas.What unfolds is a masterclass in how to read Revelation the way it was meant to be read. Dr. Beale reveals how nearly every verse in the Apocalypse is saturated with Old Testament allusions, from Daniel to Exodus to Ezekiel, and how those connections completely reshape the way we understand the most debated symbols in the book. He walks us through how Daniel serves as the structural backbone of Revelation, how Babylon is far bigger than one ancient city, how the number 666 is not what most people think it is, and how the entire biblical story has been building toward a temple that covers all of creation. This is not theory. This is Scripture interpreting Scripture. And once you see it, the Book of Revelation will never look the same.In this episode you will learn:- Why nearly every verse in Revelation echoes something from the Old Testament and why that changes everything- How Daniel bookends the entire Book of Revelation and sets up its central theme- What John was actually doing with the Old Testament when he wrote the Apocalypse- How the Exodus story frames God's work through Christ and the church in Revelation- Why Babylon represents something far larger than an ancient empire- What the number 666 actually means and why it's probably not what you've been told- How the Garden of Eden was the first temple and Adam was the first priest- Why the Bible's story is building toward a temple that covers the entire earth- What recapitulation is and why it matters for understanding the seals, trumpets, and bowls- Dr. Beale's top commentary recommendations for every perspective on RevelationGuest: Dr. Greg BealeWebsite: gkbeale.comHandbook on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament: Exegesis And Interpretation- https://a.co/d/0cFNsl1K Stay Connected:Website: Johnnyova.comSubscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@thejohnnyovaThe Revelation Reset by Johnny Ova: https://a.co/d/0bWpTiPJ

What should Christians do with the hardest laws in the Bible—texts about slavery, sexual violence, capital punishment, and social inequality? Should they be explained away… or even crossed out? In this episode of the Thinking Christian Podcast, Dr. James Spencer is joined by Dr. Gary Edward Schnittjer, Distinguished Professor of Old Testament at Cairn University, to discuss Schnicker’s recent article in the Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society examining a provocative proposal by biblical scholar James W. Watts: that “immoral” commands in Scripture—especially in the Torah—should be struck through or repealed. Watts argues that certain biblical laws are morally indefensible by modern standards and that retaining them enables abuse, violence, and injustice. Schnicker agrees that these texts deeply trouble modern readers—but strongly disagrees with the solution. In this wide-ranging and careful conversation, James and Gary explore why removing or canceling difficult passages creates dangerous “collateral damage”, both theologically and pastorally. At the heart of the discussion is a crucial claim: many of the biblical laws that offend modern sensibilities are not endorsements of evil, but divine constraints on evil—laws designed to protect the most vulnerable people in the ancient world: slaves, women, the poor, and victims of violence. When these laws are removed or ignored, the Bible is reshaped into something that actually empowers the strong and exposes the weak. Gary explains how Old Testament law often functions not to establish an ideal society, but to curtail injustice in deeply broken social realities. Drawing on ancient Near Eastern context, Jesus’ own teaching on the law, and long-neglected biblical scholarship, he argues that God meets people where they are—without endorsing the world as it is. The conversation also addresses: Why bad interpretation is not the same as biblical meaning How “reception history” can be misused as a moral veto on Scripture Why Christians are often embarrassed by parts of the Old Testament The danger of modern “neo-Marcionism” and un-hitching the Old Testament Why apologetics answers often fall flat for younger Christians How ignoring these texts creates faith crises rather than resolving them James and Gary reflect candidly on the church’s failure to teach these passages well—and how that failure has contributed to widespread biblical confusion, especially in a digital age where moral objections to Scripture circulate constantly but context rarely follows. Rather than advocating pulpit shock tactics, Schnicker calls pastors, teachers, and church leaders to patient, informed engagement—to stop brushing difficult texts under the carpet and instead learn how they reveal God’s concern for justice, restraint of violence, and care for the vulnerable. Resources mentioned: Gary Edward Schnittjer,JETS article (available free at com) com(Gary’s Substack) If you’ve ever struggled with parts of the Old Testament—or wondered why Christians seem embarrassed by their own Scriptures—this episode offers a careful, honest, and deeply pastoral way forward that refuses to cancel the Bible while taking moral questions seriously.

What should Christians do with the hardest laws in the Bible—texts about slavery, sexual violence, capital punishment, and social inequality? Should they be explained away… or even crossed out? In this episode of the Thinking Christian Podcast, Dr. James Spencer is joined by Dr. Gary Edward Schnicker, Distinguished Professor of Old Testament at Cairn University, to discuss Schnicker’s recent article in the Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society examining a provocative proposal by biblical scholar James W. Watts: that “immoral” commands in Scripture—especially in the Torah—should be struck through or repealed. Watts argues that certain biblical laws are morally indefensible by modern standards and that retaining them enables abuse, violence, and injustice. Schnicker agrees that these texts deeply trouble modern readers—but strongly disagrees with the solution. In this wide-ranging and careful conversation, James and Gary explore why removing or canceling difficult passages creates dangerous “collateral damage”, both theologically and pastorally. At the heart of the discussion is a crucial claim: many of the biblical laws that offend modern sensibilities are not endorsements of evil, but divine constraints on evil—laws designed to protect the most vulnerable people in the ancient world: slaves, women, the poor, and victims of violence. When these laws are removed or ignored, the Bible is reshaped into something that actually empowers the strong and exposes the weak. Gary explains how Old Testament law often functions not to establish an ideal society, but to curtail injustice in deeply broken social realities. Drawing on ancient Near Eastern context, Jesus’ own teaching on the law, and long-neglected biblical scholarship, he argues that God meets people where they are—without endorsing the world as it is. The conversation also addresses: Why bad interpretation is not the same as biblical meaning How “reception history” can be misused as a moral veto on Scripture Why Christians are often embarrassed by parts of the Old Testament The danger of modern “neo-Marcionism” and un-hitching the Old Testament Why apologetics answers often fall flat for younger Christians How ignoring these texts creates faith crises rather than resolving them James and Gary reflect candidly on the church’s failure to teach these passages well—and how that failure has contributed to widespread biblical confusion, especially in a digital age where moral objections to Scripture circulate constantly but context rarely follows. Rather than advocating pulpit shock tactics, Schnicker calls pastors, teachers, and church leaders to patient, informed engagement—to stop brushing difficult texts under the carpet and instead learn how they reveal God’s concern for justice, restraint of violence, and care for the vulnerable. Resources mentioned: Gary Edward Schnicker, JETS article (available free at carpentersstudent.com) CarpentersStudent.com (Gary’s Substack) If you’ve ever struggled with parts of the Old Testament—or wondered why Christians seem embarrassed by their own Scriptures—this episode offers a careful, honest, and deeply pastoral way forward that refuses to cancel the Bible while taking moral questions seriously.

Do you ever wonder if Jesus really claimed to be God? Maybe you've heard people say, "Jesus never said he was God," or you've been asked, "Why believe Jesus is divine if he never claimed it?" These questions don't just come from skeptics outside the church—they show up in church, too. Even if you're not coming from a place of doubt, you might still wonder how well what we're taught about Jesus matches up with what he actually said. So, did the historical Jesus really claim to be divine? That's what today's discussion is all about. Today we're honored to have on Dr. Mikel Del Rosario. Mikel is a professor of Bible and theology at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. He has coauthored 31 journal articles on apologetics and cultural engagement in Bibliotheca Sacra alongside his mentor, Darrell L. Bock. A member of the Evangelical Theological Society, Del Rosario hosts The Apologetics Guy Show, a podcast on YouTube and the Christianity Today Network, and previously hosted Dallas Theological Seminary's cultural engagement podcast, The Table. He lives in Chicago with his wife, where he enjoys teaching, writing, and engaging with culture. Please send us your feedback and questions to: podcast@summit.org
Fool: Identifying and Overcoming Character Deficiency Syndrome by Garry D. Nation Seriouschristian.org https://www.amazon.com/Fool-Identifying-Overcoming-Character-Deficiency/dp/1629024627 Practical wisdom…in today’s less than ethical business climate-deep, thought-provoking, and entertaining. Phil Eubanks Corporate Ethics Compliance Professional Garry is a pastor and scholar with a passion for Christ, an innovative spirit, and an open heart. I have read his work with spiritual profit. Now it’s your turn to benefit: the Bible tells us that ‘wisdom is too high for fools’ (Prov 24:7). Find out for yourself and read this book. Professor Andrew Walker King’s College, London The question of ethical character (and its deficiency) has become a matter of lively public discussion in recent years and promises to be so for a long time to come-in private life, in politics, in business, in society. While the world tries to figure out how to restore character, it will not find better guidance than we already have in the Bible. Fool: Identifying and Overcoming Character Deficiency Syndrome is a forensic, worldview-conscious study of the fool and folly as depicted in the Bible, especially in the Book of Proverbs. The message of author Garry D. Nation is that character deficiency (folly) is a vicious, predictable, downward spiral of destructive personal choices. Moral upbringing and ethics training may interrupt and temper it, but God’s grace alone can cure it. Sometimes humorous, sometimes exasperating, sometimes tragic, but always engaging, Fool uncovers surprising insights into what makes us all tick. About the author Garry D. Nation is an author, minister, scholar, educator, and speaker. He holds the B.A. magna cum laude from Oklahoma Baptist University(1975), the M.Div. (1978), and the Ph.D. (1990) from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He is a Fellow of the Oxford Society of Scholars and is a full member of the Evangelical Theological Society. His articles have been published in Christianity Today, the Mid-America Theological Journal, and the Journal for the American Academy of Ministry. Garry is also a versatile actor, singer, and perfomer. He has appeared onstage, often playing biblical characters ranging from Mordecai (Esther: For Such a Time as This) to Simon Peter (The Promise). More recently he has played lead roles in independent films such as Polycarp, Indescribable, and My Grandpa Detective.

What do charges of blasphemy against Jesus teach us about who Jesus really is? Clearly the Jews, Scribes, Pharisees, and even Caiaphas the High Priest thought Jesus claimed to be God through what He said and what He did (see Mark 2; Matthew 26; Mark 2; Luke 5; and John 10). Many skeptics, as well as Jehovah's Witnesses and Latter-day Saints have tried explaining away passages like Mark 2, where the Scribes thought Jesus was blaspheming. They believe Jesus only had the authority to forgive sins, not that He was God, the Son, incarnate. This week on the Profile, we will tackle this objection as well as delve into Matthew's account of Caiaphas tearing his robes in Matthew 26:65. Both passages (Mark 2:1-12 and Matthew 26:57-68) are solid evidence that Jesus, the Son of Man, is in fact God the Son, incarnate.

Did Jesus really say He was God? The Scribes, Pharisees, and the High Priest Caiaphas sure understood Jesus to be making that claim. They accused Jesus of blasphemy (see Mark 2; Matthew 26; Mark 2; Luke 5; and John 10). This week and next on the Profile, we will be examining two specific passages where Jesus is accused of blasphemy with apologist, author, and Professor of Bible and theology at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago Dr. Mikel Del Rosario. We will be discussing his new book Did Jesus Really Say He Was God? and exploring why the Bible gives us an accurate historical account of Jesus's life and ministry.

Eerdmans; Inter-Varsity Press. - "By casting out demons outside Israel, Jesus shows that his authority is not limited by geography, ethnicity, or ritual purity. Evil spirits recognize and submit to him even in foreign soil — implying that God's reign is breaking into all creation, not just within the covenant land.This anticipates the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18–20), where the resurrected Christ claims, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me” and sends his disciples “to all nations.” The Gerasene exorcism is an early foreshadowing of that global mission."

"… in his discussion of a passage in which Jesus heals a paralyzed man and announces that the man's sins are forgiven (Mark 2, Matthew 9, Luke 5), Dunn argues that the passive form of the verb (ἀψἰδνται) shows that Jesus was not usurping a prerogative that belonged only to God, but was simply announcing forgiveness the way a modern priest would declare a penitent sinner forgiven. According to Dunn, the subsequent protest by the religious leadership occurred simply because Jesus exceeded his authority by pronouncing forgiveness outside of the Temple cult."Show Music:Intro/Outro - "Growth" by Armani Delos SantosTransition Music - produced by Jacob A.

In this episode, I share two presentations on Stephen Dempster's recent book, Return of the Kingdom: A Biblical Theology of God's Reign (IVP, 2024). In the first part, Dempster discusses how and why he wrote this book on the theme of the Kingdom of God. In the second part, I reflect upon the significance of Dempster's work for teaching and understanding the discipline of biblical theology. Both of these papers were originally delivered as part of a panel discussion of Dempster's book at the annual meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society in 2024. See also my previous discussion with Dempster on canon studies, biblical theology, and the book of Genesis. This podcast is hosted by Ched Spellman (https://linktr.ee/chedspellman).

Today, on Karl and Crew, we kicked off our weekly theme of “Back to School” with some of the professors from the Moody Bible Institute (MBI). We had Dr. Jim Coakley join us to talk about Hermeneutics, the study of interpreting the Bible. Dr. Coakley is a professor of Bible at MBI and a current elder with the 180 Chicago church. He is also a member of the Evangelical Theological Society. He has several publications and books, including “14 Fresh Ways to Enjoy the Bible.” We also had Dr. Sanjay Merchant join us to break down the divinity of the Trinity. Dr. Merchant is a former atheist turned believer and professor of Theology at MBI. He also teaches Apologetics and Philosophy and has three Master’s degrees in Apologetics, Philosophy, and Theology, and a doctorate that focuses on the Trinity. We then turned to the phone lines to ask the question, "What did God help you to see most clearly, that you couldn't see before?" We then had a conversation about how turning to the Lord brings clarity and understanding and “removes the veil”. We see this in 2 Corinthians 3:12-17, where it talks about the veil being a covering over the mind of those who are without Christ and how it is only removed when we turn to Him. We then had Sydney Swenson join us to share about the upcoming admissions event, “Experience Moody.” Sydney is the Admissions Operations Manager for MBI in Chicago. She organizes all of the campus visits and “Experience Moody” events, and the next one is September 26, 2025. You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly “Transformational Tools” theme by discussing the importance of gospel compassion for the laborers of God’s kingdom. As followers of Christ, we know this walk isn’t easy, and when our brothers and sisters are down, we must encourage and minister to each other. We turned to Matthew Chapter 9, where we saw how Jesus ministered and showed compassion to the lame, blind, sick, and those who sought Him. We also had Dr. Jim Coakley join us to discuss the significance of repetition and word choice in scripture, and how it can convey the compassionate traits of the characters involved. Dr. Jim Coakley is a professor at Moody Bible Institute and a current elder at 180 Chicago. He is also a member of the Evangelical Theological Society.
