Jay shared about his growing up in the Episcopal Church, coming of age in the late 1960’s and leaving the the church, his return to faith, his time in the early 1970’s Jesus Movement, his years as a theology student and seminarian where encountered the historical-critical method of teaching the Bible, how due to this he became skeptical of the historicity of events as described in the Bible (especially the Old Testament), and his eventual return to the belief of the Bible as authoritative and taking the Biblical texts at face value.

Juan Calvino y su preferencia por Lutero:

"Esta buena gente [en Zúrich] inmediatamente estalla en ira cuando alguien se atreve a preferir a Lutero que a Zwingli. ¡Como si el Evangelio se hundiera si Zwingli fuera herido!. Y, sin embargo, Zuinglio no sufre la menor injusticia por ello; usted mismo sabe hasta que punto lo supera Lutero cuando se comparan los dos".

[Carta de Calvino a Farel, 26 de Febrero, 1540]

"With any kind of history, there's a lot of empathy that has to be involved. You have to try to understand that there are objective issues but there's also the subjective: why people get caught up in this sort of thing, and any good history tries to deal with both." - Dr. Erik Herrmann in our latest episode “Seminex” on the 1970’s walkout at Concordia Seminary.

"an antidote to all the self-help nonsense that weighs down our bookshelves and our self-regard"
-These words from Nadia Bolz-Weber are about Dave Zahl's new book Low Anthropology: The Unlikely Key to a Gracious View of Others (and Yourself).

David Zahl joins Andrew, Stephen, and James on this episode of Doth Protest Too Much for a great discussion about where our true hope lies: not in the illusion that people are "infinitely improvable", which Zahl argues only leads to despair, burnout, and the feeling of "not enoughness", but in an acknowledgement of a low anthropology (which we define and discuss at length on the podcast). We also have fun discussion about David’s favorite member from a certain band, his favorite Funko Pop figure, and more... *Andrew apologizes for his mic. He tried out a new set of headphones for this episode and apparently the mic isn't as great as he thought.… but he comes through*

“The true antinomian is the one who tries to distort the Law. The one who reads “Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Mt 5:48) as “Do your best, that’s all anyone can ask.” Or who read “Sell what you own, and give the money to the poor” as “Tithe ten percent” or “Contribute what you reasonably can.” The very people who accuse others of antinomianism are usually the ones who are themselves denigrating the Law. Because if you want measurable spiritual progress or spiritual accomplishment, you’re going to have lower God’s standard quite a bit.”

(Your host enjoys using the umlaut function for this episode!) Who is Eberhard Jüngel? Dr. Dave Nelson joins the podcast in our latest episode "God- More Than Necessary" to discuss a significant and interesting 20th-century German theologian who is sometimes overlooked in the 'Anglosphere'. Tune in to this episode learn more about Jüngel, his commentary on secularization, his relationship to the theologies of Karl Barth and Rudolf Bultmann, and the 'New Hermeneutic' (or New Quest for the Historical Jesus), as well as Jüngel's ecumenical work and revolt against (and later endorsement of!) of JDDJ (the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification between the Roman Catholic Church and the Lutheran World Federation). This was fascinating stuff!
