I am currently undertaking another doctorate where I am researching the work of C.S. Lewis in regard to his theological contribution to our understanding of the imago Dei.

    The Epistles of Peter - Christian Living, Part 4 ~ Living Apologetically

    The two New Testament epistles ascribed to the Apostle Peter are lesser known by most Christians than the Epistles of the Apostle Paul. Some scholars believe that First Peter may have been written to young Christians and may have even served as a 'catechism' for those about to be water baptised. In this episode, we look at how Peter presents God as Father, Son, and Spirit, and how Christianity commences with becoming 'born again'. But this is not where Christianity ends - and that aged Apostle Peter gives instructions on how a new believer is to grow in the faith by exploring what the knowledge of God and HIs grace requires. In this episode, based on First Peter chapter 3 and verses 13 to 22, we consider how he told these new Christian that they were to live apologetically - that is, to live in a way that they could answer any questions or respond to any arguments against Christianity.

In this episode Dr. Corbett discusses what the Apostle Peter, the only married person of the original 12 disciples, had to say about how Christ and then Christianity has redically reinstituted what marriage was always meant to be.

  5. The Reminder Series, Part 10 - The Need for Discernment

    The Reminder Series, Part 10 - The Need for Discernment

    The first century Corinthian church had lost its understanding of what the gospel truly meant. They had become beguiled into accepting what certain false teachers had been saying against the apostle Paul and had been led to believe that there was more to Christianity than what Paul had been able to tell them. As a result they, they now bragged about their new found knowledge and spirituality. This is why Paul exercised his apostolic authority to correct the Corinthians and rebuke them for their lax stance on godly morality and conduct. In First Corinthians 15 he begins to remind them of the basic truths of the Christian gospel and indicates to them just how ignorant they had become despite them arrogantly claiming that they possessed more knowledge than the apostle himself.

    The Reminder Series, Part 09 - With Apostolic Authority

    Paul reminds the Corinthians that the Christianity they embraced was because of the truthfulness of the gospel they accepted and received. This gospel had been contested by some promoting a false gospel. Paul counters these errors with a reminder that the gospel they received also came with apostolic authority. This apostolic authority is now resident in the New Testament documents. The New Testament now forms the basis for Christians being able to discern truth from error.

    The Reminder Series, Part 08 - The Gospel is Grounded in verifiable Truth Claims

    The Christian message is called the gospel. This word means "good news". It is good news because it announces how a person can have their sin, guilt, and shame, forever dealt with by putting their trust is Jesus the Christ. This trust is not mere wishful thinking. On the contrary, it is grounded in verifiable truth claims. These include (i) the fulfilment of prophecies given hundreds of years before the birth of the Christ (most notably Isaiah 53); (ii) the testimonies of witnesses to the death, buriel, and physical resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth; and, (iii) the phenomenological experiences of those who put their trust in this Christ as the Saviour and God.

    The Reminder Series, Part 07 - Unless You Believed in Vain

    Christianity is not merely a religion filled with rituals and observances to be kept. The Apostle Paul told the Corinthians that it was a message which they experienced. Indeed, even today the Holy Spirit is still at work through the preaching of the gospel to bring people to experience the gospel of God so their burdens of sin, guilt and shame, are taken away in an instant. It is the reception of the gospel which opens spiritually blind eyes, unstops spiritually deaf ears to be able to hear the voice of God, and officiates the adoption of lost souls into the Kingdom and family of God!
