Episode 162 Apologetics in Strasbourg France
Episode 162 Apologetics in Strasbourg, France with Craig Parton A few years ago David Fleming, the executive director of the Lanier Foundation, and Mark Lanier signed an agreement to host annually the John Warwick Montgomery Lecture in Evidential Apologetics. Along the way we have become acquainted with the International Academy of Apologetics, Evangelism, and Human Rights. One of the instructors for that summer academy is Craig Parton. Who Is Craig Parton? Craig Parton lives in California. He became a Christian in college and developed interest early in apologetics. He is now a trial lawyer, but he spends a lot of time as the US Director for the International Academy of Apologetics. What Is the Apologetics Academy? Twenty-six years ago Craig Parton and John W. Montgomery (JWM) started the Apologetics Academy in Strasbourg, France. Every year they train around twenty men and women in apologetics, situated in one of the most historic and beautiful European cities. The academy lasts about two weeks. It is intentionally small to in order to facilitate conversation, discussion, questions, and community. To learn more about the academy: www.apologeticsacademy.eu The cost for the experience and learning is very reasonable. Accommodations are included. Some scholarships are available as well. Look for the brochure on the website for details and registration.

Dr. Bacote is interested in rehabilitating the evangelical movement when it comes to how racial minorities fit into its life. For too long the good news, while central to evangelical theology and life, has not always been good for minorities. The polarization now in the west is due in large part because majorities and minorities are speaking past each another rather than finding a place at the table for one another.

Without understanding Israel's mission, we may miss our own. Particularly, she makes a convincing case for what it means "to take the Lord's name in vain."

TSC 046 Kyle Hughes, How the Spirit Became God
The Stone Chapel Podcasts Hosted by David Capes Kyle Hughes <- Back to Episodes Kyle Hughes, How the Spirit Became God Kyle Hughes has written an important book, and he joins David Capes on “The Stone Chapel” to discuss it. The book is How the Spirit Became God: The Mosaic of Early Christian Pneumatology (Cascade Books, 2020). In this book Hughes tells a compelling story of how the church came to recognize the Spirit as divine and person. With a firm grasp on relevant primary and second literature he makes the case for an early and consistent divine pneumatology arising out of how Christians over several centuries read their Scriptures, the Old and New Testaments.

He is the author of several books and hosts a popular podcast along with Matt Lynch and others entitled “OnScript.” Dr. Bates joins David Capes to talk about his recent book, Gospel Allegiance: What Faith in Jesus Misses for Salvation in Christ (BrazosPress, 2019). Often the word pistis, translated most often “faith” in the New Testament, is misunderstood because our understanding of the gospel is deficient. So, what is the gospel? “Jesus is the saving king.” So, what is our response? Allegiance to the king. The post TSC 043 Matthew Bates, Gospel Allegiance first appeared on Lanier Theological Library.

His particular focus is to survey and understand the royal messianism associated with the Davidic dynasty. He makes the point that there is no standardized, pre-existing view of the messiah at the time of Jesus; instead, there has been a robust “messianic discourse” that has been going on for hundreds of years centered on King David and his legacy.

He is an Associate Professor of Old Testament at Wheaton College and Degree Coordinator for the Master of Arts in Biblical Exegesis. He is author of many articles, but the focus of this podcast is a book he wrote along with Dr. Gregory Goswell of Christ College in Sydney, Australia. It is entitled God’s Messiah in the Old Testament: Expectations of a Coming King (Baker Academic, 2020). While some scholars find precious little “messianism” in the Old Testament, others find it in nearly every verse. So, what is the truth? Abernethy and Goswell take a book by book approach to work through those passages that look forward to a coming messianic king.

The Stone Chapel Podcasts Hosted by David Capes Anne Clements former Minister West Kingsdown Baptist Church, Kent , UK <- Back to Episodes Anne Clements, Mothers on the Margin? Anne Clements, PhD Spurgeon College (2012), has written an interesting book called Mothers on the Margin? The Significance of the Women in Matthew’s Genealogy (Pickwick Publications, 2014). At one time she was struggling with her call to ministry: some endorsed her call, others said she was violating Scripture. This launched on her an investigation of the women in the annotations of Matthew’s Genealogy: Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, the wife of Uriah (Bathsheba), and Mary, the mother of Jesus. In this podcast she talks with me from her home in Kent, UK to show how Matthew introduces these women and recalls their stories to show how the Messiah comes to include the marginalized and to make insiders out of outsiders.

<- Back to Episodes Ben Blackwell and Randy Hatchett-Engaging Theology Ben Blackwell, Associate Professor of New Testament and Christian Origins at HBU, and Randy Hatchett, Professor of Theology and Philosophy, also of HBU, have written a new book: Engaging Theology: A Biblical, Historical, and Practical Introduction (Zondervan, 2019). The book demonstrates the relevance of “engaging” theology rather than just thinking about God, the world and humanity. The authors, while seasoned, do a great job of making theology understandable. They focus on the story of scripture, doctrinal exposition, theological relevance (and reflection), and finally spiritual relevance. Recently, a film crew from Zondervan Academic filmed Ben and Randy talking about their new book in the scholar’s cottage. Look for those videos in spring or fall 2021.

Clark, 2019). Scholars have a growing interest in the artifacts of early Christianity, particularly the book culture and the scribes who produced them. We discuss an Egyptian papyrus, a pre-Christian letter written by a husband to his pregnant wife announcing he will be coming home late, after she gives birth. He urges her: “If it is a boy, keep it; if it is a girl, throw it out.” Early Christians, aware of the practice, wrote against it and sought to rescue exposed children. Dr. Evans discusses his essay that deals with the longevity of ancient books. Some evidence suggests that in the book culture of early Christianity some Christian books lasted…

This is what Michael Bird of Ridley College (Melbourne, AUS) said about the book: “Nijay Gupta presents here the best contemporary exploration of the meaning of ‘faith’ and ‘believing’ in the Christian Bible. He leaves no stone unturned as he covers topics like faith as doctrine, virtue, allegiance, trust, obedience, and fidelity, among other things. Along the way Gupta cracks open a few hoary chestnuts like the ‘faithfulness of Christ’ and faith as a social boundary marker, always with clarity and acumen. All in all, a wonderful exposition of the meaning of faith in the biblical world.” The post TSC_031 Nijay Gupta-Paul and the Language of Faith first appeared on Lanier Theological Library.
