WHI Interview with Graeme Goldsworthy

One of the most helpful books I have ever read, in terms of making sense of the unity and Christo-centricity of the Scriptures, is Graeme Goldsworthy's According to Plan: The Unfolding Revelation of God in the Bible. Since then, I have read many of Goldsworthy's books (and found them all extremely beneficial). I would highly recommend According to Plan (for anyone wanting to gain a better understanding of the basic plot-line of the Bible) and The Goldsworthy Trilogy (especially for pastors or Sunday School teachers).

Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to listen to a recent White Horse Inn interview with Dr. Goldsworthy, which I would also recommend to you.

How Does God Reveal Himself?

Can we discover truth about God outside of the Bible, or is Scripture the only true source of heavenly knowledge? On this March 7, 2010, edition of the White Horse Inn the hosts outline the distinction between general and special revelation. In the former, God reveals himself through creation, and in the latter he reveals himself in the pages of Scripture and in the person of Christ. Though we can know many things about God by the things he has made, only Scripture reveals his good will toward us in the Gospel.

Carl Trueman on the White Horse Inn

Has American Christianity become more concerned with success than fidelity? Has it chosen style over substance? On the most recent edition of the White Horse Inn, Michael Horton spoke about these issues with Carl Trueman, professor of Historical Theology and Church History at Westminster Theological Seminary (Philadelphia), and author of The Wages of Spin.

White Horse Inn on Justification

On this edition of the White Horse Inn, the hosts interact once again with polls taken at a Christian convention, this time relating to the doctrine of justification. Why is this doctrine so central, and how is it related to the gospel of Christ?

White Horse Inn Broadcasts on Preaching

For the last few weeks, the White Horse Inn radio broadcasts have all revolved around the subject of preaching. I would highly recommend listening to them all.

• Why Johnny Can't Preach (May 3, 2009)

Interview with David Gordon, professor of Religion and Greek at Grove City College and author of Why Johnny Can't Preach: The Media Have Shaped the Messengers.

• Culturally Relevant Preaching (May 10, 2009)

Should Christian ministers work hard at being culturally relevant, or does the gospel of Jesus Christ create its own relevance?

• Christ - The Center of Scripture (May 17, 2009)

Is the Bible primarily a handbook for living a happy, moral lifestyle? Or perhaps its best understood as a how-to manual showing us how to fix various problems in life? The WHI hosts make the case that the Bible is primarily about the story of redemption through Christ (originally broadcast on May 8, 2005).

• Rightly Dividing the Word: Law and Gospel (May 24, 2009)

What does it mean to "rightly divide the word of truth"? (2 Timothy 2:15) On this program, the WHI hosts will be taking a look at one of the most crucial and fundamental distinctions in all of Scripture, namely the contrast between justice and mercy, precept and promise; law and gospel (Originally broadcast on May 22nd, 2005).

And check out this broadcast from back in March:

• We Preach Christ Crucified (March 8, 2009)

Countless churches across the country offer relevant messages week after week that focus on wisdom for life, tips for marriage and family, money management, etc. But the Apostle Paul preferred a message of foolishness. Though "Greeks search for wisdom," he wrote, "we preach Christ crucified." What are the implications of this approach in our own day, and how might it transform our churches?
