    EP 13 Daniel Scheiderer: Progressive Covenantalism, Threefold Use of the Law and Confessional Baptist Theology

    Episode Snapshot John Mark and Johnny sit down with theologian Daniel Scheiderer for a deep dive into covenant theology. From his studies with Dr. Steven Wellum at Southern Seminary to real-world ministry conversations, Daniel helps us compare progressive covenantalism, new covenant theology, Presbyterian Federalism and 1689 federalism—and why these distinctions matter for Baptists today. Key Sections Progressive Covenantalism 101 – How it synthesizes biblical-theological themes without flattening covenants. Law & Gospel Nuance – Why the moral law remains, even when covenantal administrations change. 1689 Federalism – Overlap and friction points with progressive frameworks. Meet the Guest Daniel Scheiderer is a pastor-theologian and PhD candidate who studied under Dr. Steven Wellum at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

    EP 12 Richard C. Barcellos: Scriptural Ontology, Rationalism, and Apostolic Hermeneutics

    In this episode, Jonny is joined by Oliver Allmand-Smith as they dive into a deep and thought-provoking discussion with Rich Barcellos on his journey to confessionalism, interpreting the Second London Confession, and the influence of early theological education. The conversation covers a comprehensive range of topics including the significance of scriptural ontology, teleology; how the Westminster Confession shaped his theological views; the impact of modern interpretations on biblical texts; and the critique of red-letter editions of the Bible.

The episode also touches on the role of confessions in evangelical churches, the importance of hymnal tradition, and the apostles' role in theology. This theological dialogue dissects the intricate relationship between scripture, tradition, and modern interpretation, offering a holistic view for both congregants and ministers.

    EP10 Timothy Decker: The Text of Scripture, 'Criticism' and Reformation Views on Textual Variants

    In this Session of the Coffee House, Timothy Decker joins Jonny and John-Mark to discuss the practice of 'textual criticism' in biblical studies and pastoral ministry. They dig deep into the issue of whether the language of 'criticism' is helpful, how this practice has been a useful tool to the church in the past and why it still has relevance to the church today. They also touch on issues of church and state, preaching and academia, the relationship between systematic theology, biblical studies and pastoral ministry, and the place of the Johannine Comma (found in 1 John 5:7-8) within the Scriptures. Timothy is Pastor at Trinity Reformed Baptist Church, VA and teaches New Testament at International Reformed Baptist Seminary and Covenant Baptist Theological Seminary. He has recently written "A Revolutionary Reading of Romans 13" and regularly blogs at CBTS where his articles on textual criticism and the Reformed Tradition can be found.

    EP09 James Dolezal: Revelational Epistemology, Why it's Problematic and Some Implications

    In this episode, Jonny and John-Mark are joined by James Dolezal to discuss the weaknesses of revelational epistemology in theology. They begin by discussing Barth's approach to revelational epistemology, before moving to more contemporary approaches often labelled 'Van Tillian' or 'Reformed'. Some key figures discussed in this episode are Barth, Descartes, Kant, Aquinas, and Cornelius Van Til. The guys close by discussing some implications, and making the positive case for a classic nature / grace distinction in epistemology, where the Word of God bears upon all things pertaining to salvation.
