Episode 627: Q&A Session (The Spirit, Sacramental Admin, Sursum Corda, Domestic Abuse)

A Q&A episode with Peter Leithart, James Bejon, Alastair Roberts, and Jeff Meyers. Here, they address the following questions: 1. What is the significance/purpose of the spirit of God hovering over the waters at the beginning of creation? What waters is the spirit hovering over? What does ramifications does it have on Trinitarian theology? Is this the Holy Spirit hovering over the waters? And lastly WHY is the spirit of God hovering over the waters? 2. How would you describe and defend the boundaries of sacramental administration? Practically, can a group outside the institutional church celebrate the Lord’s supper? In the absence of a faithful paedobaptist Church can a father take his child to the lake and baptize her? 3. What arguments for and against for having the sursum corda before the readings instead of before the Eucharist. 4. Please discuss the thesis that the story of the Levite’s Concubine, the subsequent civil war and then kidnap of women into forced marriage is a case study in the dynamics of domestic abuse and how abusers manipulate society in order to get away with their crimes. _____ Upcoming Events Regional Course: How to Sing the Psalms (West Monroe, LA) https://theopolisinstitute.com/gatherings/regional-course-how-to-sing-the-psalms-west-monroe-la/ Regional Course: How to Sing the Psalms (Chicago) https://theopolisinstitute.com/gatherings/regional-course-how-to-sing-the-psalms-unity-me-copy/ Theopolis Workshop: Numberology https://theopolisinstitute.com/courses/theopolis-workshop-numberology/ Regional Course: The Death and Resurrection of David (Birmingham) https://theopolisinstitute.com/gatherings/regional-course-the-death-and-resurrection-of-david-birmingham/ Theopolitan Ministry Conference: Love https://theopolisinstitute.com/gatherings/theopolitan-ministry-conference-love/ Trinity Feast: The Joy and Freedom of Being God's Creature https://theopolisinstitute.com/gatherings/trinity-feast/ ______________________ Give to Theopolis and become a partner! theopolisinstitute.com/give/ ______________________ Sign up for In Medias Res mailchi.mp/0b01d726f2fe/inmediasres How to Chant the Psalms www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCdbOL5taVo Give to our work and become a partner. theopolisinstitute.com/give/ ________ Theopolis on Youtube www.youtube.com/c/Theopolisinstitute New audio project, the Theopolis Blogcast!
