  • The Thinking Fellows discuss the doctrine of man. What is humanity? What is human nature? What does it mean that man is sinful? These essential theological questions are building blocks of dogmatic theology in that they reveal the broken relationship between humanity and God. The doctrine of man sends us to our need for a savior and redemption.

  • Jennifer Roback Morse joins the Thinking Fellows to discuss the sexual revolution. Jennifer is the founder and president of the Ruth Institute and has authored several books concerning the consequences of the sexual revolution. This conversation helps reveal that the sexual revolution is more than the normalization of hypersexualized behavior. Instead, the sexual revolution is a combination of worldviews that have negatively impacted us all.

  • The Thinking Fellows discuss the doctrine of God. Who is God? is a foundational question that every major thinker and religion has attempted to answer. What is truly amazing is that we do not need to speculate about who God is. Instead, God reveals himself to us through His Word and lets us know exactly who he is and what he has done for us.

  • Scripture is the source of Christian theology. What do we mean by Scripture, and what does it mean to have a norm? The Thinking Fellows discuss how proper theology is not speculative or originating from personal revelation, but is instead from the font of the prophetic and apostolic books of the Old and New Testament.

  • Caleb Keith, Adam Francisco, and Bruce Hilman address the opinion that Roman Catholics are not Christians. The fellows conclude that Roman Catholics are not by necessity excluded from saving faith and trust in Jesus Christ. This leads to a conversation about how specific confessions and denominations are still necessary, even if affiliation with the correct group is not the sole indicator of saving faith.

  • The Thinking Fellows discuss why defining the Gospel carefully and constantly is essential. Many Christian organizations claim their mission is to preach the Gospel, but more often than not, what they mean by "gospel" is the law or simple Christian living. How do organizations like 1517 deal with criticism that they reduce or ignore Christian living in favor of a "just preach the gospel" mentality?

  • On this episode of the Thinking Fellows, we remember the legacy and impact of Rod Rosenbladt.

    The 1517 family mourns the death of Dr. Rod Rosenbladt. For many, he was known as “Dad Rod,” and to others, he was known as professor, friend, and mentor.

    To generations of budding theologians, he will be fondly remembered as a significant influence in molding and shaping their worldview by helping them to understand the freedom found in the nail-scarred hands and feet of Jesus as the Savior of the world.

  • Is God silent? Can Christians hear the voice of God? Are there still prophets? The Thinking Fellows spend this week's episode addressing concerns and questions about the silence of God. Many people use God's supposed silence as proof of his existence. In contrast, others claim to have received specific revelations from him. The Thinking Fellows address the ways that God has and continues to speak to his creation.

  • The Thinking Fellows discuss the idea that Christmas has pagan roots. They refute the notion that Christians stole critical religious practices and beliefs from older religions. They also discuss the reality of components of Christmas celebrations distinct from faith in Christ, such as Christmas trees, lights, and even the date of celebration, which are handed down pieces of culture rather than commands from Scripture.

  • Show Notes:

    Hamas attacked Israel on October 7th, 2023; the bloody conflict leaves some Christians asking theological questions about the modern state of Israel. Is the current state of Israel or even contemporary Judaism the particular object of promises from God? Do Christians have an obligation to Israel and its political interests? The Thinking Fellows discuss the creation of Israel, asserting that it is a distinctly political object and not a nation specially chosen or preserved by God for eschatological reasons.
