Jonathan and James sit down with award-winning teacher and Old Testament scholar Brian Toews to discuss his insightful book, Voices of the Sages: Old Testament Wisdom in Dialogue.

Imagine these texts as sages in dialogue, presenting insights, clarifications, and debates on topics like the fear of the Lord and the consequences of good and evil. These are books in conversation with other books. – Brian Toews They explore the unique method of contextuality and montage that Toews employs to illustrate the conversations between the books of the Old Testament.

Free Will in Glory?

The guys are switching things up today, with Jonathan interviewing James about the profound topic of free will in glory. They explore the nuances of free will as defined in the confessions, discussing how glorified saints in heaven experience a unique form of freedom. In the state of glory, your will will be so immutably perfected for good alone that it would be wrong not to do all that is in your heart. – James Dolezal The ability to only choose your good and not what's bad for you is actually more free. – Jonathan Master Join us as we unpack the theological implications of this concept and what it means for our understanding of freedom in the state of grace versus the state of glory. Show Notes We recorded another episode on free will back in 2021 that you may want to listen to if you enjoyed this podcast: https://theologyonthego.podbean.com/e/free-will-fact-or-misconception-podcast/

Hosannas Forever!

“Music transports us to the heavenly. It moves our souls and puts courage in our bones.” On this episode of Theology on the Go, Jonathan and James engage in a heartfelt conversation with David and Barbara Lehman, authors of Hosannas Forever: Hymns of Heaven and Our Pilgrimage. In Hosannas Forever, David and Barbara include 52 hymns about heaven that speak to the trials, longings, and sufferings we’re facing. Each hymn is introduced with a brief biography of the author who penned the lyrics and a biography of the melody’s composer, followed by a devotional summary. Today, they discuss the importance of hymns in Christian worship and how these songs can deepen our understanding of faith and hope, particularly in relation to heaven. Unless the saints continually focus on the eternal, we will wrongly prioritize the temporal. – David Leeman Join us as we explore the rich history of hymns, the stories behind them, and their role in guiding our hearts toward the eternal. Thanks to the generosity of our friends at Moody Publishing, we are pleased to award Larry B. from Bordentown, NJ and Ben L. from Riverside, OH a copy of Hosannas Forever!
