    Heidelcast: Protestants and Patriots with Dr. D.G. Hart

    In this episode Dr. Clark welcomes Dr. D.G. Hart, professor of history at Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, MI. In this year of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, they discuss D.G. Hart's new book, Protestants and Patriots: Presbyterians in the Age of Revolution. From Notre Dame Press: D. G. Hart chronicles the transatlantic history of Presbyterianism as a political movement from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries, tracing its evolution into a modern, liberal religion. Historians have often described Presbyterianism as a political orientation that leads to rebellion and revolution. D. G. Hart interrogates this assumption, presenting instead a complex narrative of Presbyterian understanding of political authority and the role of the church in society. Synthesizing Presbyterian developments in England, Scotland, Ireland, the United States, and Canada from 1560 to 1870, Hart compellingly explains first why Presbyterianism was politically disruptive in Britain for 150 years and then how these Protestants adjusted to liberal democracy. The truly revolutionary side of Presbyterianism took place during the religious and parliamentary wars of Scotland and England during the 1630s and 1640s—almost 150 years before the American Revolution. After 1640, Presbyterians remained politically assertive, but switched from state churches and covenanted monarchs to civil and religious liberties and republican government. Even so, fallout from the age of revolution extended to Presbyterian involvement in the American Founding and the formation of the Dominion of Canada. Ultimately, as a rigorous faith that refused political compromise, Presbyterianism unintentionally laid the groundwork for religious disestablishment and religious freedom. In so doing, Presbyterians became unlikely defenders of liberal democracy. This episode of the Heidelcast is sponsored by the Heidelberg Reformation Association.

    Heidelcast: Superfriends Saturday: Republication of the Covenant of Works

    In this episode, the Superfriends answer three related questions about the doctrine of the republication of the covenant of works. In other words, was the pre-fall covenant of works, made with Adam and Eve, in some sense reenacted or echoed at Mount Sinai within the Mosaic Covenant?  A listener asks if there is any kind of legal principal at work in Exodus 4:24-26? To help us correctly understand this passage, the Superfriends discuss the biblical and confessional understanding of how the covenants of grace and works are administered throughout redemptive history, and the sanctions and benefits within the biblical covenants.

    Heidelcast: Superfriends Saturday: Did the Holy Spirit Indwell Believers before Pentecost?

    In this episode, the Superfriends answer the question, "Did the Holy Spirit indwell believers before Pentecost?" Considering how a person is regenerated and blessed with the benefits of the covenant of grace, even under the types and shadows found in the Old Testament. In other words, how would believers live a Christian life, even under the types and shadows, without the indwelling of the Holy Spirit? Along the way, they talk about progressive covenantalism vs. classic Reformed covenant theology and what is new after Pentecost in respect to the Holy Spirit's presence.
