James and Andrew were delighted to be joined by Jon Moffit and Justin Perdue from the podcast Theocast. In this episode, we get into:1) What distinguishes a Reformed Baptist from most typical Baptists in North America (which is rather similar to what distinguishes Anglicans like Andrew and James from many Anglicans in North America)2) Discussing the 'better way': an alternative out of dead-orthodoxy and pietism3) The differences between Anglicans and Reformed Baptists on Baptism
Theocast's ministry and primary focus is to "encourage weary pilgrims to rest in Christ". Jon and Justin are both Baptists from a classical Reformed perspective.

Friend and co-host of the past Stephen Burnett joins Andrew to talk about a couple of interesting movements that have happened within, and perhaps on the fringes, of the church, and why they think both of these movements are missing something important.The beliefs and quotations that Stephen was referring to on the Right-Dividers came from this site.
Here is an article (Andrew found after the episode was recorded) that offers a very helpful commentary on the verse in 2nd Timothy that is used as the basis for Right-Dividers doctrine, and why the KJV translation may not the best...

We took a break from our normal routine of Reformational history and theology. In this episode, Andrew is joined by Frank Hughes, a friend and colleague in ministry who served in the same diocese as him. Frank is also New Testament scholar who has recently co-written a book with his friend and fellow New Testament scholar the late Robert Jewett titled The Corinthian Correspondence: Redaction, Rhetoric, and History. In this book, Hughes and Jewett argue for a partition theory of 1st & 2nd Corinthians (or, that the letters we have today are actually edited, or redacted, products pieced together after Paul from several smaller letters that Paul actually wrote.) This made for a fun talk considering that Frank is a self-described "unrepentant historical critic" while Andrew sees himself more as "post-critical". Enjoy!
Frank Hughes holds a Ph.D. through Northwestern University and Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary where he studied under Robert Jewett. He also holds degrees from the University of Chicago and Seabury-Western Seminary. He has taught New Testament at numerous institutions including Codrington College in Barbados where he was Senior Lecturer. He currently serves as Priest-in-Residence at the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer in Ruston, LA. Visit his website here
