    Envisioning a Neo-Calvinist Engagement of Philosophy and Culture in Asia (ft. Alex Tseng)

    Envisioning a Neo-Calvinist Engagement of Philosophy and Culture in Asia (ft. Alex Tseng)

    We were recently host to Dr. Alex Tseng for our Global Bavinck Scholars series of lectures, and so our podcast this week comes in two parts. First we are please to release Dr. Tseng's lecture.

    Dutch theologian Herman Bavinck brought insights from the historic Reformed confession of faith to bear on the philosophical trends of his day. What would a similar Neo-Calvinist engagement of culture and philosophy look like today in different contexts around the world? How might this theological engagement of culture proceed in Asian contexts? Theologian and philosopher Shao Kai (“Alex”) Tseng will draw from Bavinck’s example of wrestling with thinkers like Hegel to propose how Neo-Calvinism can philosophically engage contemporary Asian cultures. Dr. Tseng has authored books on Hegel, Kant, and Barth, and he serves as a research professor in the philosophy department of Zheijang University in Hangzhou, China.

    "Our Father" (The Lord's Prayer, Part 2)

    "Our Father" (The Lord's Prayer, Part 2)

    Episode 184: "Our Father"

    We continue our discussion of the Lord's Prayer this week with the preface. Though not unprecedented, Jesus addressing God as "Father," and encouraging his disciples to do likewise, is significant. It signals a new level of intimacy and corporate identity for the people of God.

    Episode 183: Introduction to the Lord's Prayer

    We begin a new series for the new semester: the Lord's Prayer. In this introductory episode we talk about how the Lord's Prayer came to be known as such, how to use it, why it's so important, and what it teaches us about prayer. This short prayer provides us with ample opportunity for theological, historical, and spiritual reflection.

    Episode 181: When does the Millennium Start (Rev. 20:1-10)? (Tough Texts! Episode 11)

    There has been debates about the nature and timing of the 1000 year reign of Jesus since the early church. What are our interpretative options? Is this a literal period of history, or is it "just a metaphor?" What should Christians be doing now in light of this text? Our discussion includes exegetical and theological reflections on the nature of the end times and the hope of the Christian church.

    Episode 180: Why does God command Israel to destroy everyone in the land (Joshua 6:19)? (Tough Texts Episode 10)

    When the Israelites go into the land God commands them to devote the inhabitants to destruction. Is this unjust of God? Some have even called it a genocide--is that an accurate description? The profs examine the issue historically and theologically.

BRILLIANT! HELPFUL! BIBLICALLY PRECISE!

The faculty are all exceptionally credentialed and Biblically faithful! The style and tone of their conversations, in addition to their obvious enjoyment of one-another, provides an attractive invitation to listen in and share in the joy, comfort, and peace of the Gospel!

Fun, Functional, Foundational.

The Faculty Podcast is fun, functional, and foundational. Fun to hear the friendship and clear love between Drs. Redd, Lee, Keene, Sutanto and Jeon. Functional in its ability to focus you a complex topic and present new perspectives. Foundational in establishing a Reformed view of events and topics and their relevance today. Be it the series on the Apostles Creed or a thirty thousand foot view of Wisdom literature, this podcast has become a wonderful resource to consult weekly.
