Number 1: Why Study Theology? with James & Jonathan
From our audio archives: Theology on the Go starts the new year with an exciting announcement. Jonathan Master is pleased to introduce his new regular co-host Dr. James Dolezal. James is not only Jonathan’s friend but also a colleague at Cairn University where he teaches trinitarian theology, church history, and philosophy. Sometimes, new beginnings call for a reflection on why we do the things we do, so James and Jonathan go back to basics and want to discuss why we should study theology. James uses Psalm 46 to help us think through how theology is a mixed discipline of theory and practice, and taking God at His word requires us to know who He is and our relation to Him. So, if you think that the study of theology is a leisure activity for people with a lot of time on their hands, our hosts want to dismiss such idea. Theology is for every child of God in whatever capacity they may find themselves, in times of peace, or times of trouble! Enjoy this great episode!

Number 2: Ezra-Nehemiah...At Last! with Gary Schnittjer
In this episode of Theology on the Go, hosts Jonathan and James sit down with their friend and frequent guest, Gary Schnittjer, Distinguished Professor of Old Testament at Cairn University. Today they discuss Gary’s forthcoming commentary on Ezra and Nehemiah which has been many years in the making. Gary shares his journey of teaching and writing about this often-overlooked biblical text, uncovering the complexities and challenges of its narrative. I mean, it's a really important book because it puts on display something we don't always put enough time into. And that is God's great work of redemption. – Gary Schnittjer The conversation explores themes of God's faithfulness, human rebellion, and the often misunderstood ending of the book. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that promises to change the way you view Ezra and Nehemiah! For an opportunity to win a copy of Gary’s book, Ezra-Nehemiah, published by Baker Academic, enter here. The winner will be selected in early November when the book is released.

Number 3: What is Chalcedonian Christology?
If you enjoy thinking deeply about Christian theology, today’s episode is for you! Jonathan and James discuss the historic Council of Chalcedon, an ecumenical gathering convened for the principal purpose of reasserting the teachings of the ecumenical Council of Ephesus against the teachings of Eutyches and Nestorius. They explore the significance of the Chalcedonian definition which describes Christ as one person with two distinct natures—divine and human—united without confusion or separation. The conversation navigates through historical heresies while examining the legitimacy and implications of referring to Christ as a "composite person." Join them as they unpack these theological complexities and their relevance to a modern understanding of the Incarnation. Thanks to the generosity of Banner of Truth Publishing, we are pleased to award two copies of The Glory of Christ by John Owen to our listeners. Congratulations to John F. from York, PA and Hull F. from Spring Hill, FL!
