Echo Zoe Radio episodes

After two January episodes with Patrick Szalapski, he returns to do another "Essential" with us this month. This time it is the Doctrine of the Incarnation. We discussed this more briefly in episode 9 (January 2009) for the episode that covered seven "Essentials of the Christian Faith."

Patrick Szalapski: The Incarnation

CD In October 2010, Dr. James White of Alpha and Omega Ministries in Phoenix, Arizona was in town for the Signet Ring Ministries "Chosen" conference. The evening before the conference, I had the pleasure of sitting down with him to discuss Sola Gratia, as well as the topic of the conference: God's Sovereign Grace. During the course of conversation, Dr. White explains Sola Gratia as a doctrine of the Reformation which was brought about to counter the Roman Catholic doctrine of Prevenient Grace. He then went on to describe Sovereign Grace from a Reformed perspective and contrasted it with "Free Grace." He gave his primary texts for support of the Sovereign Grace point of view: Titus 2, and 1 John. We discussed "moderate Calvinism", how it's a misnomer, as well as hyper-Calvinism. Dr. White then described some of the practical implications of coming to an understanding of Sovereign Grace. He also talked about works that he recommends on Election and Sovereign Grace. My favorite question was to ask how to explain these things to a three-year-old.

My two favorite repeat guests, Bob DeWaay and Ryan Habbena, return this month to critique the eschatological view of Preterism. We discussed what Preterists believe, some of the verses and arguments they use to support their view, as well as the response from a Futurist point of view. The outline for our discussion was a pair of articles written by DeWaay and Habbena for a past issue of DeWaay's Critical Issues Commentary. (A PDF of the entire issue, containing both articles, available here.)

Vony Bedford: Persecution II

Stand to Reason is a Christian ministry that has, for over 16 years, focussed on training Christians to be "ambassadors" for Christ in light of 2 Corinthians 5:20, by helping them to develop the qualities of Knowledge, Wisdom, and Character. Stand to Reason's Greg Koukl joins me this month to discuss his new book Tactics: A Game Plan for Discussing Your Christian Convictions, which focuses on the second quality: Wisdom. We discuss how to converse with non-Christians in a way that gets them thinking about Christianity without being argumentative, confrontational, or offensive. The majority of our conversation is about what Greg calls "The Columbo tactic." For more info and links, see https://www.echozoe.com/archives/2335
