EP16 Steve Meister: The Rule of Faith, Scripture, Tradition, History, and Christology
In the Coffee House, John-Mark is joined by Steve Meister, Pastor of Immanuel Baptist Church, Sacramento, to discuss the value and necessity of creeds and confessions for Protestants.

Summary In the Coffee House, Jonny and John Mark are joined by James Dolezal to explore angelic incorporeity and why speculative angelology has fallen out of fashion.

EP10 Timothy Decker: The Text of Scripture, 'Criticism' and Reformation Views on Textual Variants
In this Session of the Coffee House, Timothy Decker joins Jonny and John-Mark to discuss the practice of 'textual criticism' in biblical studies and pastoral ministry. They dig deep into the issue of whether the language of 'criticism' is helpful, how this practice has been a useful tool to the church in the past and why it still has relevance to the church today. They also touch on issues of church and state, preaching and academia, the relationship between systematic theology, biblical studies and pastoral ministry, and the place of the Johannine Comma (found in 1 John 5:7-8) within the Scriptures.
Timothy is Pastor at Trinity Reformed Baptist Church, VA and teaches New Testament at International Reformed Baptist Seminary and Covenant Baptist Theological Seminary. He has recently written "A Revolutionary Reading of Romans 13 (https://press.founders.org/shop/a-revolutionary-reading-of-romans-13/)" and regularly blogs at CBTS (https://cbtseminary.org/author/decker/)where his articles on textual criticism and the Reformed Tradition can be found.

EP09 James Dolezal: Revelational Epistemology, Why it's Problematic and Some Implications
In this episode, Jonny and John-Mark are joined by James Dolezal to discuss the weaknesses of revelational epistemology in theology. They begin by discussing Barth's approach to revelational epistemology, before moving to more contemporary approaches often labelled 'Van Tillian' or 'Reformed'. Some key figures discussed in this episode are Barth, Descartes, Kant, Aquinas, and Cornelius Van Til. The guys close by discussing some implications, and making the positive case for a classic nature / grace distinction in epistemology, where the Word of God bears upon all things pertaining to salvation.
