On today's program, I answered a number of listener questions regarding the doctrine of election.

On today's program I answered two listener questions. The first had to do with the idea of prevenient grace in Arminianism and Lutheranism. This led into a discussion of the intuitu fidei approach to election that developed in the scholastic period. I then dealt with some common proof texts for Arminianism.

I was joined by Dr. Curtis Leins to discuss the importance of the liturgy. He discussed his previous studies in liturgics, and we discussed various areas of the liturgy.

I began a discussion on Eastern Orthodoxy, giving some of the history and basic differences between the Eastern and Western church. This is the first part in a series of shows that will deal with the unique teachings of the Eastern Church. 

I was joined by Dr. Joel Biermann, Associate Professor of Systematic Theology at Concordia Theological Seminary in St. Louis. We discussed the controversy surrounding "two kinds of righteousness" and its place in Lutheran theology.

I discussed the extent of the atonement in the history of the church, from the Patristic period, to the middle ages, and into the Reformation.

I gave an overview of the movement known as "the New Perspective on Paul."
