This week, Chris and Lee are taking a week off. But we still want to bring you high quality biblical-theological content. So we’ve selected this lecture by Meredith G. Kline from his Pentateuch class at Westminster Seminary California because it was one of the few lectures we could think of where he specifically mentioned the incarnation. And that seems appropriate at this time of year. We hope you enjoy hearing directly from Meredith G. Kline!

In this episode, Chris Caughey talks with Lutheran pastor Jordan Cooper about the influence Meredith Kline’s books had on him while he was still Reformed – and how they continue to influence him today. Part of what makes this conversation so interesting is the “language barrier” that exists in the way that different theological traditions use theological language. But Chris and Jordan handle the communication and translation respectfully.

In episode 17, Lee and Chris interview Rev. Michael Brown and Rev. Zach Keele about the book they co-authored, entitled Sacred Bond: Covenant Theology Explored. They have some very helpful ways of explaining the covenants that God made, how we fit into God’s covenant drama, and how the covenants relate to justification for our assurance.
