  • 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

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Lively Truths and Puritan Spirituality with Stephen Yuille
Q: What is the Puritan view on the holiness of God and how does it relate to salvation and sanctification?
The discussion covers seeing God's holiness as foundational to understanding sin, salvation, and grace; the Puritans connect beholding Christ with transformative love and obedience, shaping practical Christian living.
Lively Truths and Puritan Spirituality with Stephen Yuille
Q: What does a distinctively biblical understanding of meditation look like for Puritans, and how might that translate for contemporary readers?
The guest explains meditation as a disciplined engagement with Scripture that aligns the mind, affections, and will, stressing that it is about applying truth to the heart and life, not merely intellectual exercise; contemporary readers are encouraged to pursue this integrated practice.
Cornelius W. Grafton: “Mississippi’s Greatest Minister”
Q: What stands out about Grafton's stance on lynching and social issues?
Grafton publicly condemned lynching in multiple instances and insisted that the Word of God does not permit private citizens to carry out lethal justice, highlighting a nuanced position within the era's racial dynamics.
Cornelius W. Grafton: “Mississippi’s Greatest Minister”
Q: How did Grafton's preaching style reflect the realities of rural ministry?
His sermons were doctrinal, text-driven, and focused on practical piety; he often preached long, 40-60 minute messages to feed congregations that walked long distances, emphasizing conversion and daily application over sociopolitical commentary.
Cornelius W. Grafton: “Mississippi’s Greatest Minister”
Q: What drew you to Grafton as a subject for a dissertation?
A combination of personal connection to Mississippi Presbyterian history, access to an abundant primary source set (Grafton's sermons and papers), and the opportunity to illuminate a figure who was influential regionally but overlooked in broader historiography.
