RTS Washington Faculty Podcast

Episode 144. And so 2022 comes to a close. Join the faculty of RTS Washington as we discuss the theological highlights of 2022. We talk about the resurgence of neo-Calvinism, the role of RTS in seminary education, important publications and commentaries, and why Gray doesn't care about Star Wars.

Today (December 15th, 2022) marks the 100th birthday of Dr. Meredith Kline, professor emeritus at Westminster Seminary California and likely the most influential Reformed OT theologian you haven't read. Join us as we talk to Dr. John Muether and Dr. Peter Lee as they reflect on Kline's teaching and influence on Reformed theology.

Episode 143: This week we take listener questions in a more relaxed "grab bag" episode. We discuss "what should we do about worship when Christmas is on a Sunday?" Also: "How do you preach redemptive-historically on books like Job?" and "What's the difference between coveting and a godly desire to grow?"

In this episode Drs. Redd and Lee discuss the advantages and challenges of preaching with notes in a "fun" (but pointed!) rebuttal to a previous edition of the podcast by Drs. Keene and Jeon.

Episode 141: The profs just came back from various academic theological conferences. What are some benefits of attending these conferences? And what do they have to do with Jedis and Siths?
