Join Michal and Mark in exploring Christian theology and piety through John Calvin’s “Institutes of the Christian Religion”.
-
5. Institutes 1.5.1-10: The Knowledge of God Conspicuous in Creation and Providence of the World (1)
We’re back after a long break and kickstart our return with looking at sections 1-10 of Ch 5 of Book 1, where we discuss the two great classes of God’s providential works as His self-revelation. This is Part 1 of Institutes 1.5.
-
4. Institutes 1.4: The Knowledge of God Stifled or Corrupted, Ignorantly or Maliciously
We speak about how everyone stifles the knowledge of God and how this leads to false and superstitious worship. We also talk about Lent and Ravi Zacharias. Finally, we realise that four episodes in, we’re still technically inept and thus seek pardon for the poorer audio quality this time around.
-
3. Institutes 1.3: The Knowledge of God Naturally Implanted in the Human Mind
We talk about how every person created in the image of God has the knowledge of God implanted in their mind and what this means for those who deny God.
-
2. Institutes 1.2: What It Is To Know God
Continuing Calvin’s exposition on the knowledge of God, we look at what it really means to know the true God truly.
-
1. Institutes 1.1: The Knowledge of God and of Ourselves Mutually Connected
We talk about how the knowledge of God and of ourselves are connected and why proper theology gives rise to correct self-awareness.
