Down Under Theology

Welcome to Season 3 of Down Under Theology, a podcast equipping and encouraging Australian Christians to get down and under the theology impacting the life and mission of the church.

In Episode 3, we continue our introduction to the 10 Commandments. We discuss the connection between the greatest commands that Jesus spoke of and the Old Testament law. Do we need the law if we can just love God and love others? We also chat about the three uses of the law and how this helps to frame our living of the law as Christians today.

Welcome to Season 3 of Down Under Theology, a podcast equipping and encouraging Australian Christians to get down and under the theology impacting the life and mission of the church.

In Episode 2, we continue our introduction to the 10 Commandments. We look at the question of whether Christians should keep the law today, unpacking the idea of the threefold division of the law. Is it a biblical idea? How does it help us work out how to live out the law as Christians today?

Welcome to Season 3 of Down Under Theology, a podcast equipping and encouraging Australian Christians to get down and under the theology impacting the life and mission of the church.

In Episode 1, we give an introduction to Season 3 and our plan to go through the 10 Commandments and the Lord's Prayer. We give an introduction to the law - what do we mean when we talk about the 'law'? How is it used throughout Scripture? Why do we struggle to delight in the law and what would it look like for us to delight in it?

Welcome to a special bonus episode of Down Under Theology, a podcast equipping and encouraging Australian Christians to get down and under the theology impacting the life and mission of the church.

In this special episode, we're joined by Dr Todd R. Hains to talk about all things Luther. We discuss Luther the man, his works, and his significance to our theology. We also discuss Todd's book, "Martin Luther and the Rule of Faith" launched in October 2022. What is the rule of faith? How does it help us to read Scripture?

This episode forms a bit of a teaser on what to expect in DUT Season 3 due out later in 2023. We'll be doing some historical theology, discussing key points in church history that undergird the theology impacting the life and mission of the church.

Dr Todd R. Hains is an academic editor at Lexham Press. He is the author of several books, including a few children's books, and the recently released "Martin Luther and the Rule of Faith"

Welcome to season 2 of Down Under Theology, a podcast equipping and encouraging Australian Christians to get down and under the theology impacting the life and mission of the church.

In the final episode of Season 2, we're joined by special guest, Nancy Guthrie, to unpack the book of Revelation. We chat about reading and teaching Revelation well, including a discussion on why we find it hard to read, and some tools to help interpret the book. Nancy provides a helpful structure for the book based around the number 7. We also discuss the major biblical-theological themes of the book including Kingdom, Worship, and the Consummation. Perhaps most importantly, we think about how we "hear and keep" the book of Revelation in order to experience the promises within.

Nancy Guthrie is a popular author of several books including the recently released Blessed: Experiencing the Promise of the Book of Revelation. She also hosts the podcast, Blessed: Conversations on the Book of Revelation, produced by Crossway.
