About this episode

The episode discusses assurance, faith, and redemption through the lens of Reformed theology and its application in the lives of believers.

Jonathan and James welcome back Todd Rester, associate professor of Church History at Westminster Theological Seminary, to discuss the profound themes of assurance, faith, and the application of redemption as presented in Volume Five of Petrus van Maastricht's Theoretical Practical Theology. The discussion navigates the conflicts between Reformed theology and Roman Catholic understanding, emphasizing the significance of justification and the transformative power of faith and repentance. Join us for an enlightening conversation that explores the depths of theological thought and its practical implications for believers today. Thanks to the generosity of our friends at Reformation Heritage Books, we awarded two copies of Theoretical-Practical Theology, Volume 5 to the following listeners: Austin O. from Lynchburg, VA and David B. from Vacaville, CA.
