This week Pastor Wilson talks about how we should think about tariffs. He also talks about Peter Leithart’s wonderful book, “From Silence to Song”, calling this small book a “treasure trove”. Pastor Wilson finishes things off with a look at the word apaideutos. Happy plodding!

 

Show Notes:

 

So What Do We Think About Tariffs:

• President Trump thinks tariffs are great and something we should be doing more of
• Trump is not levying tariffs, he is threatening to levy tariffs in order to get concessions
• Threatening tariffs can lead to an increase in free trade

 

From Silence to Song:

• Wonderful book written by Peter J. Leithart
• This book is about the tabernacle of David
• In the tabernacle of the wilderness there is no record of music being a part of worship
• But David introduces music into the equation
• Leithart also shows that the tabernacle of David was very attractive to Gentiles
• For those who love Biblical theology, this small book is a treasure trove

 

Apaideutos:

• Rendered as unlearned
• Found in 2 Tim. 2:23
• In Prufrock, T.S. Eliot warns us against “tedious arguments”
• The apostle Paul was aware of them also
• The servant of the Lord must not get dragged into stupid and unprofitable quarrels
