We’ve been told that we have won the Battle for the Bible. And while this may true with respect to many of the issues that arose in our church body in the 1970s, it appears that it isn’t completely a closed case. We still are fighting for the meaning of words. Thus, the Battle for the Bible rages on under a new flag with new colors. In this episode, Adam Koontz helps us look at what fighting remains in the Battle for the Bible.

The Psalter was once central to the life of the Christian. It served as the basis for much of the sermons of the New Testament and the arguments put forward by St. Paul and the Book of Hebrews. In this episode, Ryan Loeslie makes the case for reclaiming the Psalter to make it part of your regular study. He demonstrates that they serve as a compendium and summary of the whole Bible. He gives practical steps on how to make this a daily practice and even on how to begin to learn them by heart.

In the first episode of The Gods of Our Age, Mark Preus walked us through an introduction. That the people of Rome, Galatia, Corinth, and Ephesus could hardly not know that they were idolaters when Paul preached to them. They had idols of stone and wood and precious metals. They had temples with statues devoted to their gods. We know from Luther’s Catechisms that an idol is anything that you fear, love, and trust in above all things. We have idols too. They are not statues of stone or wood or precious metals. But they look exactly like the idols of the ancient world. 

In this episode, He narrows our focus on the God of Information, Hermes/Mercury.
