In Predestination in Early Modern Reformed Theology (Reformation Heritage Books, 2024), Dr. Richard A. Muller delves into one of the most controversial doctrines of Reformed Theology: predestination. Muller carefully investigates key incidents that illustrate the doctrine's complexity and development by surveying Reformed thought on predestination in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Along the way, Muller challenges distorted ideas about the placement of predestination in theological systems, naïve readings of Calvin based solely on his Institutes, simplistic representations of supra- and infralapsarian debates, and uncharitable views of Reformed theologians as hyper-dogmatists obsessed with their own tradition.

On Tuesday, April 8, unions, unionized federal workers, and their supporters around the country mobilized for a national “Kill the Cuts” day of action to protest the Trump administration's cuts to life-saving research, healthcare, and education programs. As organizers stated on the Kill The Cuts website,  "By cutting funds to lifesaving research and medical care, the Trump administration is abandoning families who are suffering and costing taxpayers billions of dollars. These cuts are dangerous to our health, and dangerous to our economy. On Tuesday, April 8th, 2025 workers across the country are standing up and demanding NO cuts to education and life-saving research." In this on-the-ground edition of Working People, we take you to the front lines of the Kill the Cuts rally that took place in Washington DC, and we speak with workers and union representatives whose lives and work have already been affected by these cuts.Speakers include: Margaret Cook, Vice President of the Public, Healthcare, and Education Workers sector of the Communications Workers of America (CWA); Matt Brown, Recording Secretary of NIH Fellows United (United Auto Workers Local 2750); Rakshita Balaji, a post-baccalaureate researcher at the National Institutes of Health (NIH); and Amanda Dykema, shop steward for American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Local 1072 at the University of Maryland, College Park.Additional links/info:Kill the Cuts websiteNIH Fellows United websiteMaximillian Alvarez, Working People / The Real News Network, “What's really behind Trump's war on federal unions?”Jocelyn Kaiser, Science, “NIH under orders to cancel $2.6 billion in contracts”Permanent links below…Leave us a voicemail and we might play it on the show!Labor Radio / Podcast Network website, Facebook page, and Twitter pageIn These Times website, Facebook page, and Twitter pageThe Real News Network website, YouTube channel, podcast feeds, Facebook page, and Twitter pageFeatured Music…Jules Taylor, “Working People” Theme SongStudio Production: Maximillian AlvarezPost-Production: Jules TaylorBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.

Your comments are welcome! Send a text my way!There are many topics in Scripture that can lead to controversy and unfortunately separation from true Christians when we should really still be together as one in spite of many of our differences. Certainly, one of the greatest topics of battles through the years has been the issue of election, which was basically defined and codified in John Calvin's famous work "The Institutes of the Christian Religion." This episode of 2Days Denarius focuses on a short devotional by the famous late minister and author A. W. Tozer, in which he, in short and strait order, laid out a small case in favor of God's choosing grace and dependence on Him over a man-made decision process in one's salvation. This podcast graciously covers this topic from some biblical and historical viewpoints. We should never afraid to look at difficult topics in Scripture. They are there for us to study with open heart and mind, through the illuminating power of the Holy Spirit. Let's take a listen together and praise God for his Amazing Grace!Devotional reading for this episode comes from "Mornings with Tozer: Daily Devotional Readings" by A. W. Tozer and Gerald B. Smith, 2008. Chicago: Moody Publishers. Theme songs "Holy Is the Lord" is used by permission of song writer/performer Pastor Steve Hereford of the Changed By Grace Church in Jacksonville, FL.

The Logistic Regression of the AI Safety Institutes, UK/US By David Stephen How do you keep AI safe and how important is AI safety should have been the most important questions of any AI safety institute. The questions are not how to keep the AI model of a company safe by evaluating it before release, or that AI should simply be safe because of awareness or being trendy. If any AI safety institute that meant business paid attention to the news - of misuses of AI for fake images affecting schools, fake AI voices used for impersonation against loved ones, fake videos used against businesses, wrong information from AI used for nefarious purposes, malware generation and so forth - it should have been clear that the approach to making AI safe has to be general, with tens of different methods at any time, in direct and indirect forms. How do you keep AI safe? AI safety should have led AI regulation, such that tools for safety may not need to be enforced for people to use them in a jurisdiction, but that people would adopt those tools because of their necessity. Simply, AI regulation that would work would be AI safety tools, as products, against unsafe and unaligned AI models or outputs. Though tough, there was not even an explored path [known] towards this outcome, making regulations go forward, then it became unpopular because of the vacuum left by innovation. What AI safety institutes should have centered on, also, is that any unsafe AI from any source, is a risk wherever it is accessible. This means that it is important to work on AI model safety, output AI safety, platform AI safety, and jurisdiction AI safety. Model safety would apply to models. Output safety would be against misused AI outputs. Platform safety would be on platforms where AI outputs may appear, or where AI models can be found like social media, search engines, ISPs, company network, and so forth. Jurisdiction AI safety could be a county, a state, a nation, in ways that may not easily be bypassed. The vision for safety and the approach could have been a driver to pursue technical answers, with the likelihood of minor to major success that would have been solid enough to withstand political pressures or a hard pivot. The UK and the US AI safety institutes did not seem to have those, and they both seem to be on the verge of inconsequentiality. Already, the UK AI safety institute has been renamed to the UK AI security institute, changing its mandate since the prior mandate had little direction or anything of magnitude to show. A report on TIME, Inside the U.K.'s Bold Experiment in AI Safety, detailed a humiliating experience for the UK AI safety institute, where AI labs would not allow them access to the weights of the models in evaluation, meanwhile, DeepSeek, a model of a possible adversary, opened their weights to everyone. The UK AISI said it was a mistake to ask for the weights, maybe, but the lack of direction in assuming that evaluating a few models meant AI safety was a total waste, showing of a lack of scope on what their mission was about. The US AI safety institute was an absolute nod off effort given the opportunity to make a major difference. There was the AI safety consortium that nothing ever came out of. Lots of organizations joined. They did not show or explain on the list page what their ongoing projects in AI safety or alignment were, and those that were working on AI safety would have done so, regardless of being a part of the consortium. The US AISI had an agreement to evaluate the models of OpenAI and Anthropic, two companies that for all the misuses of AI, in the last two years, did not provide general or industry-wide answers, just like the rest. This means that even if those models were fairly safe, what would it matter if some families were put through a bad experience in deception of fake AI audio of a loved one or the several other scalable possibilities of misuses? The US AISI did not have regulation staving technical plans, where it...

Today's poem features a simple but satisfying sleight of hand. Happy reading.Richard Henry Horne (1802-1884), poet, was born on 31 December 1802 at Edmonton, near London, the eldest of three sons of James Horne (d.1810), quarter-master in the 61st Regiment; his grandfather was Richard Horne, secretary to Earl St Vincent. Richard was brought up at the home of his rich paternal grandmother and attended John Clarke's School where John Keats was also a pupil. In April 1819 Horne entered Sandhurst Military College but left in December 1820. In 1823 after reading Shelley's Queen Mab, he decided to become a poet.In 1825 Horne sailed as midshipman in the Libertad to fight for Mexican independence. After two years in America he returned to London, where in 1833 he published his first book Exposition of the False Medium and Barriers Excluding Men of Genius from the Public. In the next decade he published three poetic dramas, contributed prolifically to literary magazines, edited the Monthly Repository in 1836-37 and served on the royal commission on child employment in factories in 1841. His most famous year was 1843 when he published his epic Orion at a farthing a copy to show his contempt for public taste. It ran to six editions in a year and made him a celebrity. During the Irish famine he was correspondent for the Daily News. In 1847 he married Catherine, daughter of David Foggo.In 1852 Horne faced a crisis: his marriage was failing; he was impoverished; he was discontented in his work on Charles Dickens's Household Words; and he was torn between the practical and poetic sides of his nature. Tempted by dreams of fortune on the Australian goldfields and a chance to escape, Horne arrived at Melbourne in September. He soon became commander of the private gold escort and in 1853 assistant gold commissioner at Heathcote and Waranga. He was erratic in both posts and was dismissed in November 1854. By 1855 his English ties were severed, his wife having requested a formal separation. In Melbourne he became clerk to (Sir) Archibald Michie, and lived with a Scottish girl; their son, born in 1857, died after seven months. In September 1856 as a radical Horne contested Rodney in the Legislative Assembly but lost. As a commissioner of sewerage and water supply in 1857 when Melbourne's new reservoir was under public attack, he did little to appease the critics. By 1860 he was again unemployed and living at St Kilda with a female companion. He was well known at Captain Kenney's swimming baths, lectured at Mechanics' Institutes on 'The Causes of Success in Life' and failed to win the Belfast (Port Fairy) seat. He helped to found the Tahbilk vineyard on the Goulburn River. In 1862-63 the Royal Literary Fund assisted him.In June 1863 Horne was made warden of the Victorian Blue Mountain goldfield near Trentham: 'my Siberia'. Again he began to write seriously and found tranquillity. On visits to Melbourne he held court at Henry Dwight's bookshop, and became friendly with George Gordon McCrae and Marcus Clarke. In 1864 he published a lyrical drama, Prometheus the Fire-Bringer, and in 1866 for the Melbourne Intercolonial Exhibition a masque, The South Sea Sisters; it contained a rhythmic representation of an Aboriginal corroboree which brought acclaim. In 1867 he celebrated the arrival of the Duke of Edinburgh with a cantata, Galatea Secunda, signing himself Richard Hengist Horne, the name by which he was henceforth known. In Australia he produced no significant poetry but some good prose: Australian Facts and Prospects(London, 1859), and an essay, 'An Election Contest in Australia' in Cornhill, 5 (1862). Disillusioned, he sailed in June 1869 for England where he became a literary doyen, producing many new works all artistically worthless. His poverty was relieved in 1874 by a government pension, and he died at Margate on 13 March 1884.-bio via Australian Dictionary of Biography This is a public episode.

Stewarding Your Talents

Listen to this interview of Isaac da Silva Torres, Postdoctoral Research, TU Delft, Netherlands. We talk about his coauthored paper Guidelines to Derive an e3value Business Model from a BPMN Process Model: An Experiment on Real-world Scenarios (SOSYM 2023). Isaac da Silva Torres : "I'm an industrial engineer, and I've worked in a lot of companies. Then afterwards, I worked for the government, back in Brazil. And then I came to the Netherlands to do my PhD. But, my work experience, as a business analyst, had always positioned me between business and IT somehow — and being this bridge, well, this worked really well for me. Because, being in between, you really can appreciate, for example, the interests of both sides. I mean, people in business departments, when it comes to digital transformation, for example — they're totally focused on the system — but of course, the people from IT are like, 'Okay, but can you give me the requirements. What exactly do you want?' I'm able to see those two sides, and can act." Learn more about your ad choices.

Join Pastor David as we dive deep into Colossians 2:6-15 and explore what it means to truly be "Rooted" in Christ. This week's message focuses on humanity's dual nature: both sacred and sinful. Drawing inspiration from John Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion, we use both the "telescope" to marvel at God's immense power and the "microscope" to examine our intricate design and our desperate need for His grace.

Dear Listeners, In this episode your hosts based their discussion on a 1994n article written by Kenneth Eisold, "The Intolerance of Diversity in Psychoanalytic Institutes". Happy New Year!

Pope Francis has appointed Cardinal Robert McElroy as Archbishop of Washington, D.C., and Sister Simona Brambilla, an Italian Consolata missionary, as prefect of the Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life. Her appointment makes her the first woman to lead a major Vatican department and to have a cardinal as her deputy. On this week's episode of “Inside the Vatican,” hosts Colleen Dulle and Gerard O'Connell discuss the challenges Cardinal McElroy may face in Washington, D.C., due to his views on issues like racism, migration, poverty, and climate change, which may conflict strongly with the incoming administration's proposed policies. They also explore how Sister Brambilla's appointment marks a milestone for the Vatican and consider Pope Francis' ongoing efforts to elevate women to top leadership roles within the Vatican.

On this special bonus episode, I'm joined by two other members of the theology faculty to update our listeners on the Calvin's Institutes project, in which about 60 faculty and staff are spending the academic year reading through The Institutes of Christian Religion. At the midpoint of the journey, we took some time to reflect on our experiences thus far and to encourage readers to keep going. Among the topics we discussed:  What has stood out to us and our groups as we've read Calvin together The most under-appreciated aspects of Calvin's theology Why Calvin is known primarily for the doctrine of predestination even though it hasn't shown up yet in the reading Favorite passages thus far How Calvin's ideas show up concretely in Reformed churches and institutions Encouragement for those who are finding the reading difficult to keep going Additional resources: Our original podcast discussion before starting the Institutes Our reading schedule: https://shorturl.at/Yow8x  Calvin's Institutes (2 volume Battles edition)  Calvin's Institutes (1 volume Beveridge edition) Calvin's Institutes online edition (CCEL/Beveridge)

In this episode, I respond to a recent video made by Gavin Ortlund called, “Are Catholics Christians? Why Protestants Can Say YES”. Gavin argues that early Reformation theologians like Martin Luther and John Calvin both believed that Catholics are saved. He also makes a postmodern argument for church unity.In my response, I cover John Calvin's actual thoughts on whether Catholics can be considered “Christians”. I talk about the problems with elitist “intellectuals” like Gavin Ortlund ripping old theologians out of context to push a postmodern, liberal narrative. I also discuss the dangers of referring to church history and old theologians before referencing the Bible. I give a more detailed breakdown of the Catholic and Protestant doctrines of justification and how they are fundamentally opposed to each other. Finally, I talk about what the Bible has to say about people like Gavin Ortlund who distort doctrine and words for personal gain.
