Special Episode: The Imago Dei and Human Dignity (Public Theology - Episode 2)

In a world increasingly marked by political polarization, identity conflicts, debates over human rights, and competing visions of justice, Christians are often confronted with an important question: How should our theology shape our engagement with public life? More specifically: How should the doctrine of the image of God—the imago Dei—shape a Christian's approach to contemporary political issues?

Special Episode: The Cross and the Crown (Public Theology - Episode 1)

Welcome to Public Theology [Theologia Publica]: Epispode 1 - The Crown and the Cross, where we explore the intersection of faith, Scripture, and the pressing questions of public life. Today we're wrestling with one of the most enduring tensions in Christian thought: How does the Bible actually present the relationship between God's sovereignty, earthly rulers, and political authority? This isn't an abstract question. Every time you vote, pay taxes, critique a policy, or decide whether to comply with a law you find unjust—you're navigating this terrain. And Christians have been navigating it since the first century, often reaching very different conclusions. Over the next twenty-eight minutes, we're going to dig into three key Scripture passages: Psalm 2, Romans 13, and Revelation 13. What does all this mean for how Christians engage culture and politics today? Along the way, we'll hear from some of the sharpest theological minds in history—Augustine, John Calvin, Abraham Kuyper, and Francis Schaeffer. Each of them grappled with these texts in their own turbulent times, and their insights remain remarkably fresh. Thanks for listening to Theologica Publica.

Authority to Judge - John 5:19-29

Son of God These verses teach us how the Son can exercise divine judgment and generate resurrection life by his powerful word. It is because, like God, he has life-in-himself. God is self-existent; he is always ‘the living God’. Mere human beings are derived creatures; our life comes from God, and he can remove it as easily as he gave it. But to the Son, and to the Son alone, God has imparted life-in-himself. This cannot mean that the Son gained this authority only after the incarnation. The Prologue has already asserted of the pre-incarnate Word, ‘In him was life’ (1:4). The impartation of life-in-himself to the Son must be an act belonging to eternity, of a piece with the eternal Father/Son relationship, which is itself of a piece with the relationship between the Word and God, a relationship that existed ‘in the beginning’ (1:1). That is why the Son himself can be proclaimed as ‘the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us’ (1 Jn. 1:2). Son of Man In this context, three strands come together. Jesus is the eschatological Son of Man who receives from the Father the prerogatives of Deity (Psalm 2), a kingdom that entails total dominion. At the same time, he belongs to humanity and has lived a human life. It is the combination of these features that makes him uniquely qualified to judge. Third, judgment in the Fourth Gospel is often linked with revelation (3:19, 8:16; 12:31; 16:8, 11). Judgment descends because men love darkness rather than light. Now ‘the Son of Man’ has already been used in revelatory contexts in this Gospel (1:51; 3:14–15). The entailment of rejected revelation is judgment. 1. The Great Marvel (vs. 19-23) 2. The Great Promise (vs 24) 3. The Great Culmination (vs 25-29)

Demonstration of Authority - John 5:1-17

The man at the Pool of Bethesda was afflicted both physically and spiritually. Physically, he was lame; spiritually, he was blind. When Jesus asked him whether he wanted to be healed, rather than answering with faith or hope, he complained that no one was there to help him get into the pool. Even after receiving healing, he showed no gratitude to the one who restored him-he simply walked away without acknowledging Jesus or making any effort to know Him. Physical illness is not necessarily a consequence of sin, as Jesus clarified when He addressed His disciples regarding the man born blind (John 9:3). However, sinful motives can impair one's spiritual state, manifesting in their attitude and actions. Though the man at Bethesda could now walk, his ingratitude revealed that his heart remained unchanged. In contrast, the man born blind was healed both physically and spiritually by putting his faith in Jesus (John 9:38).
