Shaun Tabatt - Author Talks Episode 33, with Michael
Williams

"In this episode of the Author Talks with Shaun Tabatt
Podcast I interview Michael Williams about his book How to Read the Bible
through the Jesus Lens." 

Kevin DeYoung - A Conversation About the Law

"There are few theological issues more important and more
difficult than the relationship of the Christian to the law… We all know we are
justified by faith apart from works of the law, but what is the place for
obedience to the law after we are justified?"

Joe Carter - Why Are There Calvinist Baptists But No
Lutheran Baptists?

“To be a Calvinist Baptist in 2013 (which I am) almost
requires one to choose the tradition and to defend that choice to people who
think such a category can't even exist. The same isn't necessarily true for
Arminian Baptists.”

C Michael Patton - Folk Theology: Twenty Urban Legends in
Theology

“Folk theology describes beliefs, generally shared by a
large group of people, which said adherents have rarely thought through in a
critical way. These beliefs are normally inherited (passed on through rote
teaching and tradition).”

Ayun Halliday - Atheist Ira Glass Believes Christians Get
the Short End of the Media Stick

“The portrayal of Christians as 'doctrinaire crazy hothead
people' doesn’t square with fond recollections of former public radio
colleagues who kept Bibles on their desks and invited him to screenings of
Rapture movies.”

Timothy George - Our Francis, Too

“The new Franciscan moment is the season of the shepherd.
Catholics and evangelicals are the two largest faith communities in the body of
Christ. Without forgetting the deep differences that divide us, now as never
before we are called to stand and work together for the cause of Christ in a
broken world.”

Larry Alex Taunton - Listening to Young Atheists: Lessons
for a Stronger Christianity

“With few exceptions, students would begin by telling us
that they had become atheists for exclusively rational reasons. But as we
listened it became clear that, for most, this was a deeply emotional transition
as well.”
