  • A most valuable resource

    Joe does a superb job hosting the interviews. Solid content, presented carefully, always helpful. Episodes 147-150 on the ‘scope’ of scripture should be required material for anyone preaching or teaching Scripture.

    TIP is the best podcast out there.

  • Poor poor interviewing skills

    Please write out your questions before you start recording your podcast with guests, so that you can actually ask questions of them instead of chasing rabbits and giving speeches yourself. Take your role of podcast interviewer more serious. If you want your own show- create one. But if your role is to interview others—think ahead to write out and ask serious insightful questions—then shut up. If you do this, the quality, value and reach of this podcast show will improve greatly.

  • If I could only listen to one podcast for the rest of my life

    Though I’ve only been listening for a couple of months, this podcast has been so precious to me. Regardless of your beliefs, theology, or denominational leanings, give it a fair listen.

    And no episode better to start with than the current episode at the time of this writing, Episode 158:

    “In Episode 158 of Theology In Particular, Dr. Joshua Henson joins me to discuss the Old Testament prophets and their message to Israel and the nations.”

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Greatest Hits: Episode 58: Philosophical Theology: An Introduction with James Dolezal
Q: What is philosophical theology?
Philosophical theology is natural theology when it rightly serves theology, using natural reason to articulate and defend revealed truths without supplanting the special revelation that informs core doctrines like the Trinity and the incarnation.
Greatest Hits: Episode 58: Philosophical Theology: An Introduction with James Dolezal
Q: What is theology?
Theology is the science of God and all things in relation to Him, especially as revealed through scripture, and it is the queen of the sciences in the sense that it studies God and relations to Him through divine revelation.
Greatest Hits: Episode 58: Philosophical Theology: An Introduction with James Dolezal
Q: What is philosophy?
Philosophy is the science of all things naturally knowable, exploring deepest causes and reasons, with a primary aim of asking why to understand being and its principles.
Episode 247: A Faithful Steward: Essays In Honor Of Richard C. Barcellos With Jim Butler And Darrin Gilchris
Q: I thought it would be good just to begin by asking the question, how this book came about.
Jim and Darrin explain that the idea originated with David Charles, who proposed the project and handed it to the team; the editors, contributors, and publisher collaborated to honor Rich Barcellos, with Rich later being surprised by the gesture.
Episode 245: Virtues With Drew Sparks
Q: Drew, what are the best books to read on virtues?
Drew recommends foundational Reformed authors such as William Ames, John Owen, Thomas Goodwin, Francis Turretin, and Willem (à Brakel), noting how their work covers the infusion of virtue, the relationship between faith, hope, and love, and the practical cultivation of virtue within a gospel framework.
