Just and Sinner Podcast

I did a Q&A program today, where I answered questions mostly related to the recent FLAME EP Extra Nos where he discusses differences between Reformed and Lutheran thought on justification and sanctification. I discussed assurance, the relationship between justification and sanctification, and Scriptural texts which challenge us to test our faith.

Today's podcast is a discussion of the future of Just and Sinner as an organization and what some of our goals are as we move ahead.

On the program today, I was joined by Dr. Nathan Greeley to discuss the doctrine of divine simplicity in light of his recent publication on the subject in the book The Lord is One.

Today's program is a talk I gave at a recent conference on the loss of the authority of Scripture in the church. I discuss the background and impacts today.

I was joined by Rev. Matthew Fenn to discuss a recent dialogue which occurred between Doug Wilson and James White in which they talked about Federal Vision. We showed what some of the primary differences between the Lutheran and Reformed traditions are on these points.

Today's program is a lecture I delivered at to students at Cornell University on the cosmic nature of redemption. I speak about common misconceptions about salvation, such as the idea that the telos is the departure of the soul from the body. I talk about the physical nature of redemption, and how this includes both people and the earth.

Today's podcast is a Q&A program, following up on the questions I addressed two programs prior. I discussed recent comments from R. Scott Clark regarding Luther on baptismal regeneration and the perseverance of the saints, and also touched on some similar comments from J.V. Fesko. I also answered a question about covenant theology, and specifically republication.

Today's podcast is a lecture a delivered at a Reformation Celebration in NY on a topic the local LCMS pastors requested that I speak on: Lutheran Piety. I discuss the meaning of the term "piety," the distinctive aspects of Lutheran spirituality, and many other related questions.

On today's podcast, I answered three listener questions.

1. Is David Bentley Hart a Marcionite?

2. Do Lutherans believe in consubstantiation?

3. Is there really a difference between Calvin and Zwingli on the Lord's Supper?

This is the first of a two-part Q&A series this month.

Today's program is a lecture I gave at Trinity Lutheran Church in Ithaca, NY on the Reformed tradition. I discussed both Zwingli and Calvin, and then some of the key theological differences between the Reformed and Lutheran traditions.
