Podcasts about protestant theology

Today, we're discussing the recent passing of Pope Francis. As a Protestant, I don't hold to Catholic doctrine, and I've had some serious theological issues with the papacy—but that doesn't mean I won't stop to reflect when someone steps into eternity.In this episode, I'm praying for Pope Francis' soul and hoping he had a deathbed conversion—because no one is beyond God's reach. I also hope Catholics choose a biblical pope next time, not one more interested in pleasing the world than honoring the Word.We'll talk about the things he did right—his care for the poor and moments of humility. But we'll also look at the dangerous things he got wrong:Promoting open borders that have devastated countries and erased traditionSaying all religions worship the same God (they don't)Claiming the human heart is good (the Bible says it's deceitful above all things)Ignoring original sin and the fallen nature of manThis is a respectful but honest take on a figure who meant a lot to many—but who, like all of us, needed Christ above all.--https://noblegoldinvestments.com/

On Classical Reformed Theology with Christian Wagner (Scholastic Answers) Outline of the showTwo brief notes on the topic1. Don't be jerks2. Be careful1. The Reformers     1. First Generation     2. Second Generation     3. Polemical Context         1. Formed an early iteration of scholasticism that was chiefly polemical (although, its full flowering doesn't come until the 1580's in replying to Bellarmine)     4. Pre-Tridentine2. Early Orthodoxy (1565-1620)     1. Needed to build structure     2. Thus          1. First, needed confessions               1. Protestant Magisterium               2. Second, needed didactic theology     3. These are the guys that Bellarmine and Suarez were responding to3. High Orthodoxy (1620-1700)     1. "during the period of early orthodoxy (ca. 1560– 1620), theology was developed and worked out primarily from the basis of the Reformed confessions. The period of high orthodoxy (ca. 1620–1700), however, saw comprehensive dogmatic works in which the results of exegesis, dogmatic formulations, polemical elements, and expositions of the practical implications of doctrine were combined into an imposing whole. The scholasticism of high orthodoxy was thus characterized by increasing precision in its theological apparatus. This allowed dogmatic materialto be worked out further and caused the number of polemical topics to increase. High orthodoxy was not a time for developing new systems but rather for building up what had been inherited from the theology of early orthodoxy"      2. Catholic Resourcement          1. Hermeneutic of Reformed Catholicity     3. Synod of Dort     4. Westminster Assembly     5. Puritans vs. Anglicans4. Late Orthodoxy (1700-1790)     1. Dissolution of Reformed Theology5.

Colin recently wrote a provocative piece on the future of the university as an institution, and so he and Onsi have gone public with their longstanding personal debate about the topic. What is the university meant to be? What has it been seen as historically? Is it really in crisis, or just parts of it? Do we still need it today? And where does Davenant fit in?NOTE: most books below are linked via Bookshop.org.

In this Lutheran Ladies' Book Club recap episode, Rachel leads Sarah, Erin, and Bri in a lively and wide-ranging discussion of John Kleinig's Wonderfully Made: A Protestant Theology of the Body. What kinds of things can go amiss in our lives when we have an improper or incomplete theological understanding of the body? How does a solidly biblical theology of the body help us better think through what it means to be a human being—and a woman of God? And where do we go from there? Touching on issues including chastity, birth control, marriage and singleness, Christian friendship, virtual church, sacramental worship, life after death, and more, this conversation will challenge and inspire you to a new and deeper gratitude for God's gift of embodied life.

We discuss Barth's time as a pastor in Safenwil and his siding with factory workers in a local labour dispute, and I ask how this event influenced (or was shaped by) his understanding of the kingdom of God and whether she feels this commitment to the vision of heaven come to us as an impetus to support socialism lasts throughout Barth's life or was more of a youthful passion. We then discuss Barth's relationship with Charlotte von Kirschbaum, the tensions between Karl and Nelly, and the various pulls and pushes that led to all three under one roof. In particular I ask what responsibility did she feel in approaching this material. Finally, we talk about Barth's feelings toward the CD toward the end of his days, and, (perhaps relatedly) how he might have felt about the modest publishing industry the CD still sustains.Buy the Book Christiane Tietz studied Mathematics and Protestant Theology in Frankfurt/Main and Tübingen. She worked as assistant of Eberhard Jüngel and did her PhD with him on Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Her PostDoc thesis was on a Christian concept of self-acceptance. She was awarded a Heisenberg Stipend by the German Research Foundation. From 2008 until 2013 she worked as Full Professor for Systematic Theology and Social Ethics at the University of Mainz/Germany. Since 2013 she has been Full Professor for Systematic Theology at the Institute of Hermeneutics and Philosophy of Religion at the University of Zurich/Switzerland. She has been a visiting lecturer or research scholar in Cambridge, Chicago, Heidelberg, Jerusalem, New York, and Princeton. She is a member of the editorial board of numerous journals and book series, and a judge for the Karl Barth-Prize and a member of the Advisory Board of the Karl Barth-Foundation, Basel.

Should evangelicals be scared of the Book of Mormon? Pentecostal scholar Dr. Christopher Thomas says most of the theology in the Book of Mormon is thoroughly protestant! Does that surprise you? Chris:  Well, aside from the fall, and aside from Jesus appearing so often so early, the Book of Mormon is pretty, kind of, Protestant. […] The post Protestant Theology in Book of Mormon? (Part 5 of 8) appeared first on Gospel Tangents.

Pastor Baker discusses theological distinctions between Law & Gospel with guest Pastor Wes Reimnitz. Today's rumination topic is the difference between Roman Catholic and Protestant Theology

This is an Apologetics AMA (Ask Me Anything) Joel Settecase recently did on the Politics Server on Discord. Questions answered in this AMA: How can Unconditional Election be biblical, when John 3:16 says “whosoever?” I'm scared—what if I'm predestined to be damned no matter what? What does the Bible say about free will? If the historicity of the Old Testament were invalidated, would that invalidate the New Testament by proxy? Where should Protestants start reading theology? What books should they start with? How should men and women conduct themselves in marriage today? If the King James Version mistranslated Deuteronomy 23:17, does that mean we shouldn't condemn homosexuality today? How do you reconcile the differences between the Christian and the Jewish interpretations of the Old Testament? Does Jesus meet the requirements of the prophecies about the Messiah?

Jon M. Ruthven, Ph.D., spent his entire adult life in ministry, starting with David Wilkerson's Teen Challenge centers in Boston and New York City in the mid-‘60s. After spending a dozen years pastoring, a couple a years as a missionary in Africa as the head of Bible school, he ended up teaching theology at Regent University Divinity School for 18 years. Ruthven later developed a DMin track in power evangelism and healing at United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio for 4 years, with over a hundred graduates, including Randy Clark and Rolland Baker. Always interested in training and discipleship, Jon is developing a radically biblical approach to ministry training that seeks to replicate the discipling mission of Jesus in both content and method. This is the subject of his latest book, How Jesus Defined Christianity: His 7 Foundational Mandates, now in its final editing stages. Jon has written numerous scholarly papers and books including On the Cessation of the Charismata: The Protestant Polemic on Postbiblical Miracles (1993 and 2009) and What's Wrong with Protestant Theology? Tradition vs. Biblical Emphasis (2013). He continues to emphasize the biblical grounding for a practical ministry of healing, signs and wonders in the power of the Spirit. At present he is the Director of the online professional PhD program at the new Iris University in Mozambique, founded by Heidi and Rolland Baker. Facebook.

In this video, I'm joined by Dr. Phillip Cary, author of the fantastic book, The Meaning of Protestant Theology: Luther, Augustine, and the Gospel that Gives Us Christ. In it he dives deeply into the theology of Martin Luther, St. Augustine, and their philosophical influences. In doing so, he shows how the heart of Protestant theology, for Luther at least, is union with Christ. Personally, union with Christ is one of my favorite theological topics, so I'm delighted to be sharing this with you.

Does this podcast have a hidden meaning? Probably not. But plenty of history's great writings have hidden meanings (well, maybe they do). This week, Rhys and Colin discuss esoteric writing, where the author's real meaning is veiled, and apparent only to a small inner group with the right knowledge (often to prevent themselves getting killed). Springing off of Leo Strauss' Persecution and the Art of Writing they talk about the benefits and dangers of esotericisim in philosophy and literature, and then wonder whether Scripture is esoteric in some way.

John Donne is one of history's great poets. He taught us that "no man is an island" and to not ask "for whom the bell tolls". Yet he is often overlooked by Protestants as a Protestant.

Listen as we talk with RSLN faculty member, Rachel Ciano, about the significance and importance of Augustine of Hippo. Why should evangelicals know and study the works of Augustine, and how should they approach the man who is claimed by both Roman Catholics and Protestants?About Rachel Ciano:Rachel moved to England in 2005, where she and her husband ministered at an evangelical anglican church in Hove, East Sussex. They returned to Sydney in 2009, where they began a church plant in Marrickville.

Join Dr. Daniel Stein Kokin as he presents his “Tefillat ha-Monsoon,” and explores the halakhic, literary, and identity issues raised by this new prayer. ABOUT THIS SPEAKER: Dr. Daniel Stein Kokin is an academic wanderer, in senses both geographic and disciplinary. He has taught at Yale, UCLA, and the University of Greifswald in Germany, and been hosted by departments or programs for Italian, Israel Studies, Protestant Theology, and Near Eastern Languages and Cultures, to name just a few.

This week we come to you direct from Davenant House! Recorded during our Annual Convivium Irenicum (and so apologies for slightly subpar audio quality), Onsi and Colin talk with Michael Lynch about classical education. Or rather, how much of what calls itself classical education isn't that classical at all. How can we remedy that? What should a real Christian classical education look like? Surprisingly, it may involve fart jokes.NOTE: most books below are linked via Bookshop.org.

Did you know you're already a philosopher? Sorry to break it to you. This week Onsi, Colin, and Rhys discuss the role of philosophy in the Christian life, but not how you might think. Springing off of "Philosophy As A Way of Life", a Davenant essay by Peter Escalante and Joseph Minich, they lay out the current divide between analytic and continental philosophy, and explore how true philosophy is a different thing altogether: a search for truth, wherever it is found, in God's world.NOTE: most books below are linked via Bookshop.org.

Something's changed when it comes to evangelicals and evolution. One of the hottest and most divisive topics in the early 2000s doesn't cause the arguments it used to - and it's not because everyone now believes in evolution. This week Onsi, Colin, and Rhys consider why these debates have cooled, and whether that gives us a chance to consider what a "mere Christian" position on evolution, creation, and Adam and Eve might be when we look a historic Christian sources.NOTE: most books below are linked via Bookshop.org.

That's right - aliens. Belief in extra-terrestrial lifeforms no longer belongs to society's fringes, but is widespread in academia and the scientific community. NASA are returning to the moon, and Elon Musk has made space great again. Does the Christian tradition have the resources to offer counsel in a world turning again to the stars? And what does this spreading belief tell us about modernity? This week Onsi, Colin, and Rhys were joined by Davenant Teaching Fellow Joe Minich to think through these questions. NOTE: most books below are linked via Bookshop.org.

Do the Bible, the church, and philosophers agree on what the soul is? Far from it.

Are reason and Scripture at odds with tradition? Can the Emperor tell church leaders to work out their differences? And is Martin Luther really "the Disney princess of the Reformation?"Onsi, Colin, and Rhys dig into all these questions and more this week as they talk about the Diet of Worms, where in 1521 Martin Luther was famously excommunicated. On its 500th anniversary, Worms still encapsulates many key questions and ideas which would animate the Reformation and Protestant theology - notably the relationship between Scripture, reason, and tradition, as well as that between civil and spiritual authorities.Davenant Product SpotlightProtestantism and Christian Mysticism: Martin Luther and the Renewal of Medieval Spirituality (Davenant Hall Spring 2021 Course - $149 - register by March 29th!)Currently ReadingColin: Discourse on Method and Meditations on First Philosophy by Rene DescartesOnsi: Principles of Philosophy by Rene DescartesRhys: The Meaning of Protestant Theology by Phillip CaryTexts DiscussedExsurge Domine by Pope Leo XLuther's Speech at Worms by Martin Luther Edict of Worms by Holy Roman Emperor Charles V Natural Theology (Comprising "Nature and Grace" by Emil Brunner and "Nein!" by Karl Barth)Theme Music"Midnight Stroll" by Ghostrifter.

My guest is Phillip Cary. His newest book is The Meaning of Protestant Theology: Luther, Augustin, and the Gospel That Gives Us Christ (https://www.amazon.com/Meaning-Protestant-Theology-Luther-Augustine/dp/0801039452). This book offers a creative and illuminating discussion of Protestant theology. Veteran teacher Phillip Cary explains how Luther's theology arose from the Christian tradition, particularly from the spirituality of Augustine. Luther departed from the Augustinian tradition and inaugurated distinctively Protestant theology when he identified the gospel that gives us Christ as its key concept. More than any other theologian, Luther succeeds in carrying out the Protestant intention of putting faith in the gospel of Christ alone. Cary also explores the consequences of Luther's teachings as they unfold in the history of Protestantism. This creative and illuminating discussion of Protestant theology helps readers rethink their own theology and its place in the larger story of Christian thought.

Last week, Steve argued that “saved by faith alone” is possibly a “doctrine of straw.” This week, he continues to argue, in line with the message of his upcoming book “The Lost Message of Paul,” that this doctrine of straw is responsible for so much of Protestant Theology. And thus, how we’ve misunderstood Paul.

Fr. Seraphim Holland delivers a homily about his life, to illustrate the power of the simple prayer, "Lord have mercy". We leave behind the Pharisee, who did not think he needed mercy, and therefore prayed not to God, but to himself only, and wend our way through my seeking college days, Protestant Theology and the group "Campus Crusade for Christ", and end up in the church, which understands mercy, and experiences mercy, and therefore, says the prayer "Lord have mercy", and variations thereof, more than any other prayer.

A chat with Dr. Michael Waltemathe, co-editor of the book "Touching the Face of the Cosmos: On the Intersection of Space Travel and Religion.” Michael is a Senior Lecturer in Religious Education, in the Department of Protestant Theology at Ruhr-University in Bochum, Germany. He is the author of Computer Worlds and Religion, articles about science, religion, and outer space. Our discussion was recorded at the SETI Institute.From Amazon: "Military advantage, scientific knowledge, and commerce have thus far been the main motives for human exploration of outer space. Touching the Face of the Cosmos explores what may be the best motive of all, largely untapped: the desire of every human being, essentially spiritual, to understand more about our place in the universe, how our lives on Earth are inextricably part of that bigger picture. Drawing on leading scientists, religious thinkers, and science fiction writers--including a new interview with John Glenn, and an essay by Director of the Vatican Observatory Guy Consolmagno, SJ--Paul Levinson and Michael Waltemathe have assembled a volume that puts space travel and religion on the map for anyone interested in outer space, theology, and philosophy."You will find the book at Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Touching-Face-Cosmos-Intersection-Religion-ebook/dp/B019HF7H5YMore about the SETI Institute here: http://www.seti.orghttp://www.explorers.institute/podcast/M1.mp3

In a continuing series on great historical thinkers, we turn this week to Jacob Burckhardt. In a previous episode, Marco Cabrera-Geserick referred to Burckhardt as the founder of the discipline of cultural history. But who was Burckhardt? And how did he "found" a historical discipline? Burckhardt was born in and died in the Swiss city of Basel, and spent nearly half a century as a professor at that city’s ancient university. A student of Leopold von Ranke, a man generally regarded as the progenitor of the modern discipline of history, Burckhardt chose his own path. As a proud Swiss, he in time rejected the spirit of German nationalism that characterized his lifetime; as a professional, he chose to remain in the now sleepy city of Basel rather than take a prestigious position in one of the great German universities; as a scholar he chose to develop his own way of seeing the past. (That's him in the photo above, walking by the Basel cathedral on the way to class.) Helping us to understand this remarkable man is Dr. Thomas Albert Howard. Tal Howard is the recently appointed Professor of History and the Humanities, and holder of the Phyllis and Richard Duesenberg Chair in Ethics at Valparaiso University, Indiana. He has authored and edited numerous books, including Religion and the Rise of Historicism: W.M.L. de Wette, Jacob Burckhardt, and the Theological Origins of Nineteenth Century Historical Consciousness (Cambridge, 2000) and Protestant Theology and the Making of the Modern German University (Oxford, 2006).

Dr. Jon Ruthven is Professor Emeritus, Theology, from Regent University School of Divinity. He is the author of What's Wrong with Protestant Theology, published by Word & Spirit Press late last year. As Jon shares foundational truth about what the Bible says about hearing from God today and moving in the Spirit's power, the Spirit breaks in on us. I encourage you listen to what the Spirit is saying to the Church worldwide.
