Once for All Delivered

Andrew and Caleb continue in chapter 5. What are examples and characteristics of special revelation? What is the relationship between special revelation and the composition of Scripture? Are prophecy and miracles for today?

The guys embark on a discussion of a fascinating topic--the conscience. Where does it come from and why do we have it? How has the conscience been understood through history? What does the Bible tell us about the conscience, and how has modern philosophy twisted this?

Caleb and Andrew continue their discussion with Rudy Manrique on worship. They talk about Bavinck's doctrine of the means of grace and the Word in worship. Has contemporary worship tried to make music another sacrament? Why do churches use the music they do, and how should they decide which music to use? What should one do if he finds himself at odds with his church about its approach to worship?

Andrew and Caleb return to WWG and open chapter 4 looking at the value of general revelation. How have general and specialrevelation related to each other throughout redemptive history? What distinguishes the city of God from the city of man? What about the blessing and the curse? What hath Bavinck to do with Hegel? How does this help us navigate present discussions of history, oppression, and injustice?

Caleb and Andrew launch a new series, Bavinck On: by taking a leisurely stroll through Bavinck's doctrine of the church. What is the church? What are its marks? What does it mean that the church is "one," "holy," "catholic," and "apostolic" as we confess in the Nicene Creed?
