A reading of edited excerpts from the article “On The General Relation Of Religion, Metaphysics, and Science” by Dr Roy A. Clouser, presenting the Neo-Calvinist view of what has been called The Myth Of Religious Neutrality. The predominant Scholastic view of the general relation is summarized, followed by a summary of the Neo-Calvinist, or Reformational view. According to the Neo-Calvinist view, the way in which religious belief guides theories is then summarized, the view of religious belief is further explained, how religious belief within a given metaphysics affects science is further explained, and a prominent objection is answered. https://reformedlibertarians.com/019Main Points of Discussion00:00 Introduction00:32 Episode description03:29 The Scholastic View07:46 The Neo-Calvinist (Reformational) View13:34 Scientific theories guided by a basic view of reality17:47 A basic view of reality guided by a religious belief19:02 More about religious belief27:11 How religious belief within a metaphysics affects science37:03 Example of atomic theory40:13 An objection answeredAdditional ResourcesAbout Dr. Roy A.

Join and Support us on Substack: https://themessyreformation.com/  Check out the Abide Project:  https://www.abideproject.org We love the Christian Reformed Church; we want to see reformation in our denomination; and we recognize that reformation is typically messy. So, we're having conversations with pastors throughout the CRC about what reformation might look like. Intro Music by Matt Krotzer 

On this episode of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Doctors Joe Boot and Michael Thiessen address whether or not democracy is compatible with a biblical worldview.

In this fourth episode, P Nate and Elder P are joined by Pastor/ Author C.R. Wiley of the Theology Pugcast to discuss how Christians can reclaim productive, anti-fragile, biblical households.

On this episode of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Dr. Michael Thiessen and Pastor Nate Wright address the accusation that the God of the Old Testament is cruel and, accordingly, Christians should "unhitch" themselves for the Old Testament. 

In this third episode, the Rebels are joined by pastor and author Toby Sumpter to talk about the intentional cultivation of Christian community. How can we build the kind of communities that will be necessary to win the world? TUNE IN TO FIND OUT.

On this Podcast for Cultural Reformation episode, Dr. Michael Thiessen and Pastor Nate Wright address the Pagan high holy month of Pride. Not only do they expose the 2SLGBTQIA+ cult for the false religion it is, but they also provide a positive biblical vision for sex and sexuality.

In this episode, P Nate and Pootie invite Doug Wilson onto the show to discuss an unlikely place for world-conquering to start... with corporate worship. Wilson lays out a vision of worship that extends from the corporate gathering of local churches to the private practices of every Christian behind closed doors. If we want to win the world, we need to start with proper worship... because, in the Christian worldview, worship is warfare!

It's that time of the month again where Pastor Nate Wright and Dr. Joe Boot answer your questions on. Tune in as they discuss church leadership and accountability, the intermediate state and where Christians go after they die, and Christian's response to the pagan high, holy month of perversion and debauchery, Pride Month.

The Ezra Institute brings you a new series with the Rebels when P Nate and Pootie are joined by a variety of guests talking about several key practical outworkings of theological concepts that will help Christians expand the Kingdom of God, see the dark pushed back, and slowly (like leaven working through the loaf) win the world. This episode P Nate is joined by pastor/ author Dr. Josh Howard, who hosts the Eschatology Matters podcast, to discuss step one to saving the world... believing this world can actually be won!

Work is a central aspect of life. On today's show, we continue our series, Conversations & Presuppositions, by examining a Christian view of work, wealth, and capital and investing our time, talents, and treasures to advance the Kingdom of God.

Continuing our series Conversations & Presuppositions, Drs. Boot and Thiessen are joined this week by Ezra Fellow for Public Policy Tim Dieppe to discuss the steady Islamization of the West.

Canon Phil reports to you from Wittenberg, Germany, at the Wittenberg Center for Reformational Theology. This week, the Anderson Trane Fellows are participating in a cohort at the Center to delve deeper into Luther's Reformation and how it affected English reformational thought. Canon Phil talks this week to the Rev. Cn. Dr. Jonathan Bailes on the Fellows program, Luther, and the future of Anglicanism.

Our series, Conversations & Presuppositions, has generated a lot of questions. On this week's Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Dr. Joe Boot and Pastor Nate Wright answer some of those questions.

Continuing our series Conversations & Presuppositions, Dr. Michael Thiessen and Pastor Nate Wright unpack the worldview convergence of the conflicted Red-Green Alliance between Leftist communists (red) and Islam (green). It turns out that what unites them is a common enemy, namely, Christ and His Church, and anything built upon that sure foundation.

In the fifth episode of our series, Conversations & Presuppositions, thanks to the recent controversy in the UK, Dr. Michael Thiessen and Dr. Joe Boot wade into the current cultural conversation on euthanasia (lit. "the good death"), or as it is euphemistically called assisted suicide, join the discussion as they unpack what lies beneath the culture of death as it spreads throughout the world, and why Christians need to cultivate a thoroughgoing Christian view of the sanctity of life.

In the fourth episode of our series, Conversations & Presuppositions, Dr. Michael Thiessen and Pastor Nate Wright examine a SHOCKING evolution in the abortion debate. Since pro-aborts have lost the scientific argument concerning when life begins, they're now admitting that abortion is murder and arguing for their right to murder innocent, living children inside the womb.

In this third episode of our new series, Conversations & Presuppositions, Doctors Boot and Thiessen revisit their conversation on slavery and the Bible by examining why Christianity is the only worldview that can consistently lead to liberty and how a culture's rejection of Christ naturally leads to slavery. Choose ye this day, dear listener, freedom in Christ or slavery to sin and death?

In this, the second episode in our new series Conversations & Presuppositions, Doctors Boot and Thiessen discuss a common objection to Christianity, namely, that Christianity condones slavery. But does it? You're not going to want to miss part one of this fascinating discussion.

In this episode, Dr. Joe Boot and pastor Nate Wright talk about the world-changing implication of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, its evidence, and its explanation. REJOICE FOR HE IS RISEN!

In this episode, Dr. Michael Thiessen and Dr. Joe Boot respond to the recent controversial interview by Chancellor of Reformed Theological Seminary, Ligon Duncan, on the Room for Nuance podcast where he answers questions on theonomy, postmillennialism, and faithful cultural contextualization all while throwing barbs at unnamed parties and mixing up Scripture. YOU’RE NOT GOING…

In this episode, Pastor Nate Wright is joined by Ezra Fellow of Medicine and Public Christianity, Dr. Ted Fenske to discuss how to slay the dragon of pornography.

In this episode, the latest of our series on the family, Dr. Joe Boot and Pastor Nate Wright discuss the relationship between parents and children, how it mirrors the Triune nature of God, and how family is, indeed, the nucleus of civilization.

In this episode, Dr. Michael Thiessen and Pastor Nate Wright recap last weekend's Right Response Ministries Conference, "Blueprints for Christendom 2.0," by unpacking the seven doctrines presented at the conference for Christians to rule the world righteously under the Lordship of King Jesus.

We live in a world that says you can be anything you want, anything at all – the more bizarre and perverse the better, just don't be an ordinary, faithful man who marries an ordinary faithful woman, and have a pile of happy, ordinary kids and love and serve the Lord together. Anything but that. And the mischievous Tom Sawyer inside you should grin and say, “Well, now I'm going to normal even harder.”A significant part of the Protestant Reformation was a recovering of the Bible's teaching concerning the goodness and power of marriage, children, and family. Celibacy had come to be seen as the “higher calling,” and the duties and responsibilities of family as therefore lower and menial. The devil has always sought to lure people away from the glory of marriage and family precisely because when God's blessing is upon it, it is such potent goodness. 

In this episode, Michael and Joe are joined by Ezra Fellow for International Law, Comparative Politics, and International Relations, Daniel Ogden J.D., to talk about the disturbing rise of antisemitism and how to think about it biblically.

In this episode, Michael and Nate are joined by Harvest Windsor's Women's Life Director, Susie Rock, to continue the discussion on the family by discussing what it means to be a woman made in the Image of God, their role in the Kingdom, and how to fulfill it for the good of others and the glory of God Almighty.

In this episode, Joe, Michael, and Nate continue their discussion on the family by discussing what the archetypal fatherhood of God means for our ectypal familial relationships. Simply put, they discuss what God's fatherhood means for us and our realtionships. Oh, how sweet it is to be part of the household of God through Christ our Lord.

In this episode, Joe, Michael, and Nate continue their discussion around Allistair Begg's recent controversial advice to a grandmother about attending a queer wedding and his recent sermon defending his advice.

Bob Hiller is joined by Dan van Voorhis to discuss a theology of the arts and how Reformational theology, and Lutheran theology specifically, instructs Christians on the place of art as we live coram deo (in the presence of God). They discuss if art can be “redeemed,” cultivating good taste in art, differences in Lutheran and Reformed traditions, and more. After receiving his Ph.D. in History from the University of St. Andrews, Dr. van Voorhis spent 11 years teaching history and political thought at Concordia University, Irvine. He is now the 1517 Academy Dean. He also spends his time writing for 1517 and hosting the Soul of Christianity and the Christian History Almanac podcasts.

In this episode, Joe and Michael continue to discuss the big compromise of Big Eva and the need for strong fathers leading well--leading biblically. Allistair Begg's Comments: https://youtu.be/rXDYYPLwgYE?si=B0XrmelFb6BH6VC9&t=1726.

James and Andrew dive into the Reformational distinction of Law and Gospel followed by a discussion on the 'uses' of the Law as they appear in Calvin's Institutes and in Luther's thought. Shownotes: The quotations on the three uses of the Law from Calvin are from Ford Lewis Battle's translation of Institutes of the Christian Religion Book 2, Chapter 7  Andrew brought up Luther's disputes with the Antinomians and quoted Luther from the book Only the Decalogue is Eternal: Martin Luther's Complete Antinomian Theses and Disputations from Lutheran press (translated by Holger Sonntag) For further reading on the early development of the concept of a 'third use' in Lutheranism, Andrew mentioned the book Law and Gospel: Philip Melanchthon's Debate with John Agricola of Eisleben over Poenitentia by Timothy Wengert.    

In this episode, Joe, Nate and Michael respond to yet more bad advice from Big Eva. How can we remain faithful fathers in a world full of compromise? Tune in to find out.

In this episode, Joe, Nate and Michael discuss the centrality of the family in God's redemptive story, and consider how to disciple families and churches in an age where we have imbibed an individualistic idea of the gospel.

A bittersweet start to 2024, as we announce some changes to the hosting of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, but we are also excited to see the founding of a new Christian school in the Niagara region, and the work of cultural reform being implemented in concrete ways. We also take this occasion to look…

In the first episode of 2024, we consider the tradition of New Year's resolutions, look ahead at some of the newsmaking trends that we anticipate, and conclude with a prayer for a new year.

In this Christmas replay, we discuss several opposing pairs of virtues and vices that shape our Christian character. If you’re considering how you can grow in godliness and holiness this coming year, here are some timeless biblical concepts to consider. Would you help support the work of the Ezra Institute before the year ends? Click…

There is a certain type of attitude or personality that creeps up this time of year that tries to suppress the joy of other believers in celebrating the birth of Christ. It alleges that Christmas was originally pagan, and that we are participating in idolatry. In today's episode we discuss how there is good evidence that this is not the case, and that even if it were, the kingdom of God overcomes all opposition, and that all holidays ultimately belong to Christ.

We live in an age where we are told to define and live our own truth, including the most fundamental truths about our human identity. Over against such self-determination, Scripture gives us a vision for life based on the identity of God as the transcendent Creator, of human beings as image-bearing creatures, and the fundamental givenness of the world.

Jonathan Wellum joins us once more on the podcast to reflect on the economic year 2023, and to discuss ESG, ethical investing, and the worldview difference between a godly and ungodly approach to economics.

Ezra Institute Fellow Dan Ogden makes his podcast debut to discuss the difference between international law, which is based on common consent, and supranational law, a coercive and unaccountable system. He explains some of the strategic and economic benefits of a globally connected world, as well as the complications that arise from it, and how to think in a principled, Christian way about a tangled and high-stakes context.

We interact with a classic interview with Yuri Bezmenov, a KGB agent who defected from the USSR in the 1980s. He explains the strategy of cultural infiltration that has been active since the 1950s, and the work of demoralization that has been accomplished in the West. As we approach election seasons in the USA, Canada and Britain, we must be diligent to also pursue personal sanctification and not compromise on principles for the sake of temporary fixes.

Ezra Institute Fellow Andrew Sandlin joins us to discuss the strange bedfellows of Marxism and Nationalism that have been keeping company lately, as well as antisemitism and the recent rise of nationalism of several stripes, including Christian nationalism, and how a reformational perspective guards against the excesses and reactionism of both progressive and conservative ideologies that are not based in Christ Jesus.

As governments and law enforcement deal with planned demonstrations for this upcoming Remembrance Day, Joe Boot considers the Islamic worldview commitments that are fundamentally at odds with Christian religious worldview commitments, and discuss the true and lasting peace that was accomplished through the cross of Christ. All month of November, save on the family advent…

On this Reformation Day, Tobias Riemenschneider joins us from Germany to discuss the West's death-loving culture, expressed in the horror of abortion. He explains how the wide-scale support for state-sponsored abortion is upstream from so many other forms of murder, euthanasia, the harm that it causes to women, and the folly of referring to abortion as a human right.
