Episode notes

The hosts analyze the interpretation of biblical passages related to culture and baptism, discussing potential misunderstandings and implications on understanding the fulfillment of biblical promises. They explore the conflation of evangelism with foreign politics, the spreading of democracy, and the application of passages on pacifism to nations and individuals.

When it comes to cultural concerns of our day, Bible passages are often used by pastors, politicians, or concerned family members to calm or stoke anxiety and fear in others. In this episode, Michael Horton, Walter Strickland, and Bob Hiller situate these passages in their original context and discuss how they’re often used to address the salient cultural and political issues that occupy so many people’s attention today.
