  • Top quality content

    I’ve been listening to Reformed Forum for the past 7+ years. There is no other program out there that consistently engages in such in-depth theological discussion. Dr. Lane Tipton is one of the best teachers in the world on biblical theology (redemptive-historical hermeneutics). Dr. Camden Bucey is a fine teacher as well, thoroughly conversant with the best authors. Dr. Waddington is also a fine fellow, very knowledgeable and kind. This content is the gold standard for heavy hitting theology fro... more

    I can never browse older episodes by subscribing to this podcast. I have to subscribe to the catch-all Reformed Forum podcast but that makes it hard to manage playlists.

  • Like you’re back at Old Princeton

    The kind folks at Christ the Center are solid reformed and confessional saints. If you are looking for Rich theological dialogue grounded in Scripture and the confessions, then you won’t find a better podcast than this. Consistent, edifying, challenging, yet not pretentious and even fun at time. It’s like you’re back at old Princeton with Vos and the rest of them. This is a rare find, and I beg Camden and the guys to stay true to the mission of simple, lovely, confessional, already / not yet con... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Roman Catholicism and Christian Unity
Q: How does unity differ between Catholic and Protestant understandings?
Catholics view unity as an institutional, universal church centered on the pope and the Magisterium, whereas Protestants emphasize unity through the work of the Holy Spirit and Scripture, not a single organizational structure.
YouTube as the Modern Day Areopagus
Q: What is your strategy for engaging with debates and respectful dialogue online?
I aim to be fortiter in re (strong in the substance) but suaviter in modo (gentle in method), focusing on the method and content rather than personalities, and I advise pastors and teachers to shepherd curious students with ready, biblically grounded answers.
Human Dignity in the Age of AI
Q: How should Christians respond to AI and technology in practical terms?
Christians should engage with wisdom, Scripture, and a robust anthropology that affirms embodied humanity, treats others with love, and recognizes that technology shapes culture and individuals without becoming the ultimate measure of value.
Human Dignity in the Age of AI
Q: How does the book define human dignity in the age of AI?
Human dignity rests on being made in the image of God, not on productive output or cognitive capabilities, and no machine can replace or elevate human status, while humans must not be dehumanized by over-reliance on technology.
Human Dignity in the Age of AI
Q: What is the core thesis of the book in relation to AI being ubiquitous today?
AI is not a distant, sci-fi problem; it is deeply integrated into everyday life and raises fundamental anthropological questions about what it means to be human, requiring careful discernment grounded in biblical wisdom.
