RTS Washington Faculty Podcast

Episode 201. God and Humanity: The Book! (ft. Gray Sutanto)

It's that time of the year again: Dr. Sutanto has just released a new book! With theological anthropology all the rage right now (and rightly so), we discuss Gray's contributions to the nature of humanity, the impact of the fall, and the corporate character humans as God's image.

Episode 201: An Introduction to Ezekiel

Our main course for the podcast this season will be an exegetical and theological "tour" of Ezekiel. Today we introduced the book and the author. What is unique about Ezekiel? How does it fit in the rest of Scripture? What are its key themes and how is it structured?

Also this week, we introduce (or re-introduce) a new segment: Professorial Plugs, were we talk about the things we're reading, watching, or listening to. Stay till the end!

Episode 200: "Our 30th Year (and our 200th Episode)

This year at RTS Washington we are celebrating 30 years of serving the church in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC. As one does when one turns 30, we reminisce a bit, and what better episode to do so than this, our 200th. Join us for a bit or oral history and future hopes!

Episode 199. Denominational Diversity

RTS Washington is entering our 30th year, and to celebrate we are reflection on the history and tradition of the denominations we serve. In this episode the faculty reflect on the distinctives of their own denominational affiliations

Drs. Peter Lee and Tommy Keene are finally getting to co-teach a class. In preparation for Covenant Theology, they sit down to talk about the nature of covenant in Scripture and why it's important.

Episode 198. The Public Theology of Abraham Kuyper (ft. Vincent Bacote)

We are pleased to share this recent lecture with you! Dr. Vincent Bacote, Professor of Theology and Director of the Center for Applied Christian Ethics at Wheaton College, recently taught a class for us and delivered this public lecture, analyzing the life and influence of Abraham Kuyper.

Episode 197. What was Paul's Thorn in the Flesh?

This week we dive into the RTS mailbag. In 2 Cor. 12 Paul talks about a "revelation" that he received from Jesus: "my grace is sufficient for you." It's a challenging text for a number of reasons, not the least of which is identifying the "thorn" in question. How did Paul's conversation take place? Why three times? Join our discussion!

Episode 196: Pentecost: A Discussion with Dick Gaffin and Nancy Guthrie

This week we have a crossover episode with Conversations on the Bible with Nancy Guthrie. In this discussion with Nancy and Dr. Richard Gaffin and Tommy Keene, we discuss the significance of Pentecost within the narrative of Acts, in Redemptive History, and in the life of the church.

You can find other interviews on the book of Acts, and also an abridged version of this interview, on Nancy's podcast: https://www.crossway.org/articles/conversations-on-the-bible-with-nancy-guthrie/

Nancy's book *Saved* is an excellent resource for Acts. Check it out on Crossway's website, or wherever you get your books. https://www.amazon.com/Saved-Experiencing-Promise-Book-Acts/dp/143359286X/ref=sr_1_1?sr=8-1

In this Summer shoRTS episode, Gray Sutanto sits down to talk to us about his two contributions to the recently published *Ruined Sinners to Reclaim,* edited by David and Jonathan Gibson. It's a fascinating expansion of the traditional doctrine of the noetic effects of sin and the corresponding grace that we find in Christ Jesus.

Episode 195. Was Acts 15 the first presbytery meeting? (Tough Texts! Episode 13)

The work of the church doesn't always feel glamorous. Our culture values individualism, freedom of conscience, and authenticity; it's also suspicious of institutions and matters of polity and order. Is there wisdom to be found in committees and councils? In this episode, we take a look at Acts 15 to tease out some principles central to how the early church "does business."
