Once for All Delivered

Caleb and Andrew speak more on God’s incommunicable and communicable attributes. What are these attributes? How do these attributes relate to each other? How are the communicable attributes shared with us, and how are they different?

Caleb and Andrew continue their look at Chapter 9 in The Wonderful Works of God. What is analogical or ectypal knowledge? How does the knowledge of God differ from other kinds of knowledge we have? What is the difference between incommunicable and communicable attributes, and what are some of these attributes?

After a looooong time away, Andrew and Caleb dive back into The Wonderful Works of God, looking at the Being of God. Can God be known by man? What does it mean that God is immanent and transcendent? What kind of language does God uses to reveal himself to man? What happens when immanence or transcendence are neglected?

Caleb and Andrew wrap up their discussion of the Mosaic Covenant by looking at an issue closely related to the republication debate--the law/gospel distinction. How has Reformed theology historically understood this distinction? What are the three uses of the law, and how do they help us understand these issues? Plus, some final notes on republication on typology.

Caleb and Andrew return from a long hiatus to continue discussing the Mosaic Covenant--specifically, the republication debate. Does Galatians teach republication? What can Calvin tell us about these issues?

Andrew and Caleb take up the Mosaic Covenant. Why is this a covenant of grace? What is the role of the law in this covenant? What about the republication thesis - is the covenant in some sense a covenant of works? How does redemption occur under this covenant? What role do merit and reward play?

This one is all about baptism. Caleb and Andrew tackle the connection between the covenant sign given to Abraham in Genesis 17 and baptism as explained in other biblical texts and explain why this supports infant baptism.

Andrew and Caleb repeatedly confuse Abraham/Abram and Sarah/Sarai. They also continue their discussion of the Covenant of Grace, looking at the promise to Abraham. How does this relate to what came before in the garden and with Noah? What do the key passages in Genesis 12, 15, and 17 teach us about this covenant?

Caleb and Andrew discuss the unfolding of the Covenant of Grace after Genesis 3. What do we see in the two lines of Adam's descendants? What in the world is going on in Genesis 6:1-4? Why is the earth destroyed in flood, and Noah and his family spared?

Where does the Covenant of Grace begin? What is its relationship to the Covenant of Works? What role does the law have in the Covenant of Grace? What is the goal of the Covenant of Grace?
