We cover Chapter 2 of Structure of Biblical Authority this week.  For Reformed Christians, the idea that all of Scripture is covenantal should not be revolutionary – but it should be exciting!  Tune in and learn how each genre of the Bible contributes to God’s covenants.   Show Notes:   Give us a 5-star rating on iTunes!  (Click “View in iTunes” and “Ratings and Reviews”) 2 Corinthians 3:14 The Use of the Treaty Format in the Mosaic Covenant Exodus 20:22 – 23:33 Structure of Biblical Authority, p. 49 Genesis 1 – Exodus 18 Malachi 4:4 Structure of Biblical Authority, p. 59 Proverbs 1:8 Jeremiah 36 2 Corinthians 3 Structure of Biblical Authority, p. 71 Revelation 22:18 Deuteronomy 4:2 Deuteronomy 12:32

This week Lee and Chris begin their next series going through Kline’s book titled The Structure of Biblical Authority.  Whereas By Oath Consigned focused on the sacrament of baptism, The Structure of Biblical Authority focuses on the nature and character of the Scriptures.  Kline’s analysis by way of the ancient near eastern treaties makes for some exciting connections!   Show Notes:   Give us a 5-star rating on iTunes!  (Click “View in iTunes” and “Ratings and Reviews”) Galatians 3:15 Deuteronomy 4:2 Deuteronomy 27:2ff.

So we covered Kline’s case for baptism in his book By Oath Consigned.  But what does baptism actually do?  And what did Kline believe about that?  That’s what’s on tap this week.  Tune in and find out!   Show Notes:   Give us a 5-star rating on iTunes!

This is a bit of a lesson in hermeneutics (or, how to read the Bible).  We wanted to make it practical, so we chose a topic (immigration) that is filling the headlines and provoking comment from Christians and church bodies across the theological spectrum.  However, almost no one who is chiming in is considering carefully enough the context of the biblical passages they are using.  Lee and Chris want to use this as an opportunity to talk about the point of the Bible, how we should read it, and the consequences of misreading it.   Show Notes:   Give us a 5-star rating on iTunes!

Have you ever heard someone describe Israel’s conquest of the Canaanites as genocide or some other form of completely unjust war?  Meredith Kline understood what Israel did in a very unique way.  Lee and Chris think that Kline’s understanding of the Canaanite Conquest has helpful implications for defending the Christian faith against attacks regarding this particular episode in covenant history.   Show Notes:   Give us a 5-start rating on iTunes!
