FATHERS & BROTHERS: "I Don't Have a Whip & a Hat...Yet" - Dr. Jonathan Master talks to Jim McCarthy
Dr. Jonathan. L. Master serves as President of Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary. Dr. Master served in pastoral ministry in several congregations in Maryland and Pennsylvania, and subsequently as Dean and Professor of Theology at Cairn University near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He has taught for numerous other institutions, including Westminster Seminary (UK) and Edinburgh Theological Seminary. Dr. Master is the author and editor of books including A Question of Consensus: The Doctrine of Assurance After the Westminster Confession (Fortress Press, 2015), The God We Worship (P&R, 2016), On Reforming Worship (Covenant Publications, 2018), Growing in Grace (Banner of Truth, 2020), and Reformed Theology (P&R, 2023).

He is also the host of Greenville Seminary's new podcast, "The Dead Presbyterian Society." Check out some of his excellent sermons here. Greenville Seminary is pleased to announce Season 2 of the Dead Presbyterians Society Podcast. This podcast is built on a very simple conviction: to be faithful in the present, we must be rooted in the past. The old paths of Presbyterianism in the 18th and 19th centuries have much to teach us about the path we walk today. In weekly 30 minute episodes, we will reflect on the lives and works of figures such as Samuel Miller, James Henley Thornwell, and B.B. Warfield. We will consider enduring themes—prayer, Christian experience, and the church—matters of eternal significance for the people of God until Christ returns. Available everywhere you listen to podcasts. gpts.edu/dead-presbyterians-society. Special thanks to Nathan Clark George for our opening and closing instrumental. Nathan serves as the Pastor of Worship alongside Kevin DeYoung at Christ Covenant Church in Matthews, NC. You can access Nathan's fantastic catalog here.
