Were the Church Fathers all Premillennial?

Last updated on: June 1, 2018 at 9:45 am   By Jordan Cooper

On a recent Q&A program, I was told by a listener that all of the fathers of the church held to a chiliast view of the end times. This is a response to that question, wherein I note that there are several different eschatological views in the early church. Here is the video. Read more

Last updated on: May 26, 2018 at 1:06 pm   By Jordan Cooper

Do Lutherans Believe in Covenant Theology?

Last updated on: May 23, 2018 at 1:10 pm   By Jordan Cooper

In this video, I address the relationship between Lutheranism and covenant theology. Nearly every time I ask for questions to be addressed on the podcast, this subject comes up. I address the difference between dispensational and covenantal theology and the place of Lutheran thought within these debates.   Here is the video Read more

Men Matter: Expanding on The Most Memorable Post on Patheos I’ve Read

Last updated on: May 3, 2018 at 7:29 am   By nathanrinne

Post by Nathan Rinne (This will be my last post here for several months. Taking a break for a while.) +++   In my last post, I spoke about Christian marriage as the real “antidote to chaos”. It is now time to talk about fatherhood as a corollary “antidote” to chaos (and men in general should take note as well). Are men increasingly irrelevant? Men are only irrelevant if you don’t think we need God. The most memorable post that... Read more

The Roots of Modern Gender Theory

Last updated on: April 25, 2018 at 8:40 am   By Jordan Cooper

The contemporary world, and the church in particular, has been challenged by ever-shifting views on the nature of gender, leading to the modern notion that gender is not essential, but a social construct. In this first of a series of videos, I address the beginnings of this ideological shift with an explanation of Simone de Beauvoir’s book The Second Sex. Read more

Christian Marriage, the Real “Antidote to Chaos”

Last updated on: April 20, 2018 at 6:30 am   By nathanrinne

+++ Post by Nathan Rinne Did the 16th century church reformer Martin Luther believe that there was a “War of the Sexes”? One can certainly make that case. He writes: There are many pagan books which treat of nothing but the depravity of womankind and the unhappiness of the estate of marriage, such that some have thought that even if Wisdom itself were a woman one should not marry. A Roman official was once supposed to encourage young men to... Read more
