In this episode, we speak with an editor of Particular Baptist Press, Doug Holcomb. Particular Baptist Press is a Missouri non-profit organization established in 1995 for the purpose of reviving the doctrine and history of Particular/Regular Baptists of old, both British and American. The names and works of persons who were well known a hundred or more years ago have been all but forgotten by today’s Baptists. We have far too rich a heritage in the Baptist faith to let it fall by the wayside of apathy and ignorance. We have as our goal the opening again of those wells of spiritual soundness and beauty that characterized the mainstream of the Particular Baptist witness of former days. By providing instructive and edifying literature in a quality, collectible format which we trust will appeal to the earnest, sincere Christian, we desire to make known again the lives and works of those who went before us in the faith, and from whom we can learn much.

In this episode, we speak with Pastor Jimmy Johnson and Pastor Ryan Pendergraft about the doctrine of total depravity. 

All Things New: Essays on Christianity, culture & the arts   By Jeremy W. Johnston | Foreword by Janice Van Eck This is a collection of essays on Christianity, culture and the arts, most of which appeared in Barnabas magazine over the past decade. The essays are split into 6 sections, focusing on art & creativity, the artist’s call, literature, music, cinema and faith & culture. The idea of the essays is to engage Christians to think through how their faith impacts their interaction and involvement with arts & culture, specifically in seeing the value of the imagination, the enrichment creativity brings to all of society and the delight the arts bring to daily life.

Though written thirty-five years ago as Sam Waldron’s ThM thesis, Political Revolution in the Reformed Tradition brings crucial perspective to guide the church and the Christian through perplexing ethical and societal questions that have emerged in the present day. Does the Bible support or prohibit political revolution? What did John Calvin, the founder of the Reformed tradition, believe on the topic of political insurrection, and did his thoughts line up with the Word of God? Does Romans 13 call us to obey the government blindly in all situations? What is the relationship between subordination to civil magistrates and obedience to the same authorities? You’ll find answers to these questions and more in this scholarly examination of the tension between living in the kingdom of God and, simultaneously, in the kingdom of man.

A few years ago we interviewed Dr. Craig Carter and Dr. Chris Bolt on the Covenant Podcast. The topic of our conversation was “Christian Metaphysics, Epistemology, and Apologetics.” Since that time, discussions on Aquinas, Van Til, classic theism, and classical apologetics have been continual and sometimes people have talked past one another. We could think of no better way to try to resolve this issue than by having Dr. Carter and Dr. Bolt talk about the following topic: Van Til, Aquinas, and Biblicism
