Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/editorialtpv El día de hoy hablaremos sobre la tercera parte del libro "The Need for Creeds Today", de John V. Fesko. Páginas: 77-118. Ver aquí: https://bakeracademic.com/p/the-need-for-creeds-today-j-v-fesko/41712. En el programa de hoy Fesko, defiende la importancia continua de los credos y confesiones en la iglesia moderna. Fesko destaca tres beneficios clave: distinguir la ortodoxia de la heterodoxia, fomentar la ortodoxia diversificada dentro de límites definidos y codificar el testimonio histórico de la iglesia. Utiliza la Confesión de Fe de Westminster como ejemplo principal, ilustrando cómo su cuidadosa redacción equilibra declaraciones doctrinales precisas con la posibilidad de diversas interpretaciones. Por último, el programa explora la relación entre el confesionalismo y la piedad, utilizando un cuasi duelo en el Sínodo de Dort como estudio de caso para mostrar la importancia de basar la conducta de la iglesia en la unión con Cristo, en lugar de sucumbir a las influencias mundanas.

Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/editorialtpv El día de hoy hablaremos sobre la segunda parte del libro "The Need for Creeds Today", de John V. Fesko. Páginas: 19-76. Ver aquí: https://bakeracademic.com/p/the-need-for-creeds-today-j-v-fesko/41712. Fesko examina la historia de las confesiones reformadas de 1500 a 1700, argumentando que las confesiones posteriores representan un desarrollo de la teología de la Reforma, no una desviación de ella. Analiza documentos confesionales clave, explorando su contexto histórico y matices doctrinales, para demostrar la unidad orgánica a través de diferentes períodos. El programa luego explora las causas de la decadencia del confesionalismo, rastreando la influencia del escepticismo, la guerra, el racionalismo de la Ilustración y el surgimiento del individualismo. Finalmente, Fesko argumenta que los credos y confesiones siguen siendo beneficiosos para la iglesia al aclarar la ortodoxia, fomentar la diversidad dentro de la ortodoxia y preservar el testimonio histórico.

Ver aquí: https://bakeracademic.com/p/the-need-for-creeds-today-j-v-fesko/41712. Fesko defiende la necesidad de las confesiones de fe para la salud de la iglesia. Fesko sostiene que las confesiones son un mandato bíblico, y se basa en ejemplos del Antiguo y Nuevo Testamento para respaldar su afirmación. Traza la historia de las confesiones reformadas, destacando su desarrollo y relevancia actual, a pesar de los desafíos de las tendencias individualistas en la religión estadounidense. El programa aborda además las críticas a las confesiones, haciendo hincapié en sus beneficios para mantener la claridad doctrinal y fomentar una conexión con el testimonio histórico de la Iglesia. En última instancia, Fesko aboga por una renovada aceptación de las confesiones, equilibrando la tradición histórica con la fidelidad a las Escrituras.

In this episode we are listening in to the third session from the 2024 Pactum Conference, God's Good Law. This session is titled “The Law's Three Uses” from conference speaker, J.V. Fesko
Hosts Jonathan Master and James Dolezal welcome back J.V. Fesko, the Harriet Barber Professor of Systematic and Historical Theology at Reformed Theological Seminary, to discuss his new book, The Giver of Life: The Biblical Doctrine of the Holy Spirit and Salvation, in which John reflects on the person and work of the Holy Spirit and his role in salvation. With many other historic texts available which address this topic, why did John want to write about the Holy Spirit? Every generation has to own the teaching of Scripture in order to pass it on to future generations. We can't just assume it. We have to own it. – J.V. Fesko Through a combination of biblical, historical, and theological study, Fesko illuminates the blessing of God's presence with his people. This episode is a rich discussion for anyone interested in deepening their understanding of the Holy Spirit's work in salvation. Thanks to the generosity of Lexham Press, we are pleased to offer two copies of The Giver of Life: The Biblical Doctrine of the Holy Spirit and Salvation, by J.V. Fesko. Enter here.
