Jonathan Edwards Center Podcast JEC at Gateway Seminary

This episode is a follow up to the Asbury Revival, and includes a special discussion from the perspective of the seminary's president, Timothy Tennent. Drs. Woznicki and Tennent pair that with a conversation about Jonathan Edwards's eschatology and theology of mission.

Recorded during the Asbury Revival. This episode features Chris Chun, director of the Jonathan Edwards Center at Gateway Seminary and professor of church history, on Jonathan Edwards' work on revivals in light of the revival activity at Asbury University. He and host Chris Woznicki discuss the signs of true revival, signs of the work of the Holy Spirit, and why it is important to critically assess the characteristics of revival in a spirit of charity.
"These marks, that the Apostle has given us, are sufficient to stand alone, and support themselves; and wherever they be, they plainly shew the finger of God, and are sufficient to outweigh a thousand such little objections, as many make from oddities, irregularities, and errors in conduct, and scandals of some professors." - Jonathan Edwards in Distinguishing Marks WJEO 4: 258-259. Links:Christianity Today Article - Here is a link to Tom McCall's article in Christianity Today, "Asbury Professor: We’re Witnessing a ‘Surprising Work of God.’" Distinguishing Marks of a Work of the Spirit of God - Link to the full work by Jonathan Edwards referenced in the podcast.

Zak Tharp, PhD student, joins Dr. Woznicki this week to talk about his paper, With an Airiness of Lightness and Humor, from the 2023 Edwards Global Congress on humor in Edwards. Chris and Zak discuss the evidence of Jonathan Edwards' humor, trying to prove he laughed, and how laughter effects the pulpit. 

Dr. Woznicki sits down with Dr. James "Jim" Salladin, an anglican priest in New York City, to talk about Jim's book Jonathan Edwards and Deification: Reconciling Theosis and The Reformed Tradition, and to dive deep into what Edwards means when he writes about deification.

Join Chris Woznicki and Kyle Strobel in the premiere episode of the JEC Podcast as they chat about the book Strobel co-edited, Reformed Dogmatics in Dialogue, how he went from studying Karl Barth to Jonathan Edwards. They also discuss Jonathan Edwards' perspectives about the doctrine of God and humanity as well as the personhood of the Trinity.

Welcome to the Jonathan Edwards Podcast brought to you by the Jonathan Edwards Center at Gateway Seminary. Dr. Chris Woznicki is a research fellow at the Jonathan Edwards Center, or the JEC. For those of you unfamiliar with the JEC, it's one of 10 International affiliate centers of the Jonathan Edwards Center at Yale University. Here at Gateway Seminary, we strive to be the educational epicenter for researching the life and works of America's premier theologian. We do that by strengthening our existing doctoral programs, by networking with international scholarly communities and churches, and finally, by hosting this podcast. In these episodes, we get to talk to premier Jonathan Edwards scholars about their cutting edge work. We'll also get the opportunity to talk about some of Edwards's most famous works, and most importantly, we'll get to chat about why any of this matters. Thanks for listening! We invite you to listen to our first episode, premiering on April 9th.
