1. Religion, Politics, and the Theology of the Cross: Understanding the Reformation
  2. What follows is a little crash course in how to read Calvin with respect, for our benefit, and with an eye to how we keep Reformation giants at a proper historical arms distance.
  3. When the church has gone astray, it has been the responsible (not slavish) approach to history that has helped correct the course.
  4. This episode of the Thinking Fellows focuses on the second generation of Lutheran reformers.
  5. Between the years 1550 and 1560 the giants of the Reformation are dying. The Fellows discuss the political and theological turmoil that occurred as a result of the Smalcald war.
  6. On this episode, pastor and author Jared Wilson brings his exuberance for life and the gospel to bear on the doctrine of the Holy Spirit. Wilson helps us navigate between some of the craziness associated with the "work of the spirit" and the real Gospel hope we find in this doctrine.
  7. On the very first episode of The Soul of Christianity we have welcomed one of our favorite authors from mbird.com and the vicar of Grace Anglican Mission in Louisville, KY, Nick Lannon. The Rev. Lannon walks us through the very first clause of the Apostles Creed: "I Believe in God The Father..." and helps us think through issues of creation, our Creator and what it means in light of the Gospel.
  8. This is the second installment in our special series on Luther’s, Heidelberg Disputation. Translation of Theses 3 and 4 done by Caleb Keith.
  9. Our subject is Johan Arndt who was a prominent Lutheran Pastor and author who lived between 1555 and 1621.
