Episode notes
Pastors as Interpreters
- Pastors should read complex theological works and translate them into accessible language for their congregations.
- This bridges the gap between scholarly theology and practical application for church members.
Modern Areopagus
- Modern society increasingly resembles the Areopagus, requiring Christians to engage philosophically with those lacking scriptural understanding.
- Matthew Barrett suggests Christians should use philosophical arguments to establish pre-commitments before discussing Christ.
Preaching Classical Theology
- Connect classical theology to a bigger view of God to make it relevant for congregations.
- Kevin DeYoung suggests explaining complex doctrines like the Son of God's nature can deepen worship.
