About this episode
The episode discusses evangelical sacramentalism and the relationship between preaching and the Lord's Supper with insights from Dr. Gillis Harp.
The topic this time is evangelical sacramentalism courtesy of a good short article by Gillis Harp , a retired professor of history at Grove City College. With Dr. Harp, the co-hosts, Korey Maas (Lutheran), Miles Smith (Anglican), and D. G. Hart (Presbyterian) talk about the recent elevation of the sacraments among Protestants, whether this is a function of Protestants trying to retrieve the church fathers or re-enchant worship services, and the relationship between preaching and the Lord's Supper. Spoiler alert: readers may be surprised to hear an Anglican (Dr. Harp) defend a high view of preaching. Listeners may want to consult Luther's Small Catechism , the Thirty-Nine Articles , and the Shorter Catechism on the Lord's Supper to see the language used to describe the benefits of the sacrament.
