MARSCAST

Our Manager of Marketing, Jared Luttjeboer, sat down with Rev. Andrew Compton to talk about the pros of the relationship between the church and technology and media. No doubt your church’s media presence has grown, or even begun, in the era of COVID-19, whether it’s your church's website, live-streaming capabilities, or video production. How do we handle that media presence in a stewardly and God-glorifying way?

Dr. Beach and Rev. Compton have been talking about important books to read before Seminary. In this final episode, they round out this discussion on books by talking about various volumes of systematic theology and hermeneutics, or, biblical interpretation.

In this brief episode, Dr. Beach continues the discussion on important books to read before seminary, this time directing prospective theology students to books on philosophy, modern theology, and the history of doctrine

This week we begin a new trilogy of episodes about books. We’re a seminary ... you knew this was bound to happen. Dr. Beach and Rev. Compton sat down and traded their thoughts on books that prospective students - or students currently enrolled in seminary - should read.

In the last part of Warfield’s essay, he offers his thoughts on some remedies and solutions to counter the hidden dangers of theological studies, such as a communal life of worship and prayer in a seminary community. Dr. Beach and Dr. Venema take this up right here, on Round Table.   

Dr. J. Mark Beach and Dr. Cornelis Venema continue their discussion on B.B. Warfield’s essay on "The Religious Life of Theological Students," this time addressing the lurking dangers nearby that attend theological studies. 

Dr. Beach and Dr. Venema sit down to analyze B.B. Warfield's address on "The Religious Life of Theological Students," keeping this first question in mind: Is the academic study of the Bible or theology a spiritually enriching experience? Is it a spiritual wasteland, or a spiritual oasis, which requires hard traveling but offers wonderful refreshment?

In this Round Table episode, you'll get to hear a conversation between Jared Luttjeboer and Dr. Alan Strange on his book, "Imputation of the Active Obedience of Christ in the Westminster Standards."  Dr. Strange discusses the process of writing the book, the importance of the doctrine for seminary students, and believe it or not, how the imputation of the active obedience of Christ has anything to do with our current pandemic circumstances surrounding COVID-19.

One thing we find in the New Testament is that there is an appeal to understanding the work of Christ through the Old Testament. In this Round Table, our professors will speak to this question of Christ in the Old Testament and how it is that they as pastors, preachers, seek to preach Christ in all of Scripture.

In this episode of Round Table, our faculty discuss amongst each other the continuity of the gospel in the Old Testament, particularly thinking of the question: Is the God of the Old Testament truly the God of the New Testament?
