Dr. Benjamin Breckenridge Warfield delivered this address at the Autumn Conference at Princeton Theological Seminary, on October 4, 1911. Although it is over 100 years old and meant for young men pursuing the pastorate, there remains much that anyone in ministry service should consider for themself today.
The apostle John talks about “the world” in dramatically different ways. In John 3:16 we read that “God so loved the world…” but in his first epistle, John tells us “not to love the world or anything in the world.” How should we understand this and how does it influence our understanding of our attitudes toward pleasure? Dr. Gary Thomas presents a lecture on this topic. Redemption Seminary uses lecture content like this to produce studies that are the building blocks for its courses. Work through this short study and see if it helps with your daily growth in grace and understanding of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Working through graduate-level coursework takes time and commitment. Even though Redemption Seminary takes most of the financial risk out of attending seminary, is it worth the time and effort? or are there other risks to consider? Dr. John Schwandt explores answers to some of the most common and important questions people have when thinking about Redemption Seminary.
Elyse Fitzpatrick takes us through a case study involving a homeschooling mother of five who has faithfully worked to educate her children and train them for the Lord. But the unthinkable has just happened. We will call her Madeline and her eldest daughter, who is 17, is pregnant. Madeline is crushed when she discovers that Hannah has been living a double life.
Elyse Fitzpatrick provides insights for helping people in situations like these overcome their shame and despondence by using gospel truths of forgiveness, belovedness, and adoption.
The real work of theology is indeed farming. The purpose of Scripture and its interpretation is to grow healthy disciples who understand what God has done in Christ and desire to live along the grain of the created order made new in Christ. Theology is about eschatologically-enhanced farming—reaping the firstfruit of eternal life in the power of the Spirit.
Luther elevated marriage and family life; in one scholar’s words, he “placed the home at the center of the universe.” His teaching and practice were so radical, so long-lasting, some scholars have argued that other than the church “the home was the only sphere of life which the Reformation profoundly affected.”
The objective of this short study is to learn the significance of Jesus’ favorite title for himself, Son of Man. Dr. Moo provides an explanation the meaning of this phrase in Dan 7 and the significance of Jesus’ application of that vision to Himself.
After watching this lecture and working through two short additional readings, you can experience the effect this understanding can have on your interpretation of this phrase wherever it is used in the New Testament.
This 30-Minute Redemption Seminary study provides teaching and tools to discern and confirm your spiritual gifting with an often neglected way of considering the topic. This short study includes some Logos Bible Software training and a free Logos Mobile Ed lecture. It also provides a glimpse into ways Redemption Seminary structures its lessons and courses to provide an innovative approach to self-paced, affordable, adult education.
