Albert Wolters was my Greek professor, a columnist for The Christian Courier, an expert on the Dead Sea Scrolls’ Copper Scroll, and a careful exegetical preacher; but he is best known internationally as the author of Creation Regained: Biblical Basics for a Reformational Worldview—what philosopher Nicholas Wolterstorff called “The best statement I have come across of the ‘reformational’ Christian worldview.”... Wolters is now 78 and moving into a retirement community with his wife Alice in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. 2020 was the 35th anniversary of his landmark book...
"Earnestly Desire the Spiritual Gifts, Especially That You May Prophesy" - Holy Spirit
Dr. Craig Keener is a world-renowned Biblical scholar, and so, naturally, he believes the Bible, and takes seriously the command, when it says “Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy.” Listen in as we ask Dr. Keener (in connection with his book “Gift and Giver: The Holy Spirit for Today” Baker Academic) what the Biblical warrant to believe that Spiritual Gifts continue (and have not ceased as the post-enlightenment West would have us believe) and then how to actually operate in them without being a heretic.

Wow, really?! That phrase sounds super complicated. You may have heard that sphere sovereignty was made famous by the great theologian and stateman Abraham Kuyper, that it also served as the basis for that obscure, but brilliant, Dutch philosopher Herman Dooyeweerd. Well, you should know about them too! But whereas they showed that you could get really complicated with sphere sovereignty, as they wrestled with issues of society, politics, and philosophy, here my aim is to keep it simple. The reason is that the challenge to allow Jesus Christ to be Lord over all our life can seem daunting and we do not always know where to start.

A Glorious Discussion on How to Joyously Read the Old Testament
I think this is one of the most practical and applicable interviews we’ve had yet.
“Joy is the word that comes to mind when I reflect on writing about typology and allegory” is how Dr. Mitchel Chase opens up his book “40 Questions About Typology and Allegory” (Kregel Academic). Listen as we sit down with Dr. Chase and discuss a way we can read the Bible the way it was intended to be read – to be read in such a way that results in, as we echo what Cleopas “Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?”

Interview with Rick Schaeffer
The power that spoke light into darkness and water to wine also breaks the hardest hearts and progressively turns people into the image of Christ as the same God speaks through the gospel.
Christians are the ones who confess their belief in the Holy Trinity. In practice, however, we seldom hear sermons, rarely discuss or rely on the power of the Holy Spirit in everyday life. Hence, the Trinity plays only a nominal role for some believers, who in reality become mere monotheists...
