In this video I engage Suan Sonna's typological argument for the papacy in Matthew 16 and Isaiah 22. At 43:57 I meant Matthew 16, not Matthew 18.

People involved in ecumenical study and dialogue between Protestant, Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and other Christian traditions often experience "ecclesial anxiety" -- the worry and dread that comes from the fear of being in the wrong church. In this video I offer a way to arrive upon assurance and peace from a broadly Reformed perspective.

In this video I point out that the concern that typology should not be used to establish doctrine is a historic instinct in the Christian church, not just a contemporary Protestant view.
