Description

In 1959, John Murray, a Scottish systematic theologian at Westminster Theological Seminary, published the first volume of his commentary on the book of Romans, one that John Piper would later call “the most beautiful commentary ever written.” In more than 60 years since it first appeared, Murray’s commentary has changed the way scores of pastors and teachers read and teach the Bible, helping to draw many readers and congregations into deeper communion with their savior. Now Westminster Seminary Press has reprinted John Murray’s commentary on Romans in an beautiful new hardcover edition, updated with a new introduction by Sinclair Ferguson. In this podcast, we’ll revisit this classic text with some of the pastors and teachers it has influenced the most. Along the way, we’ll explore the ways in which the Paul’s letter to the Romans and John Murray’s commentary on that letter help us to understand, to teach, and to preach in the present day.   Music Code: LD-NDXFV0XZRVM4F

In 1923, the church in the United States was in a crisis. Modernist theology born in pre-War Europe now gripped a country experiencing vibrant technological and societal change. America in the “Roaring Twenties” was booming. Fashion was changing. Music was faster, louder. Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin were astonishing moviegoers with impossible stunts. The cities were electric. Industry was booming. The country was three years into a progressive prohibition of hard liquor. For the first time, a person could fly non-stop from New York to Seattle. President Harding was the first president to be elected by women who’d won the right to vote. Even so, much of the country remained racially segregated. Mass produced cars, trucks, and tractors had replaced horses and wagons, and were transforming the landscape. Telephones and the advent of radio meant that information traveled faster than ever. Politics. Technology. Identity. Power. Science. Everything seems to be changing. So why not faith? Christianity and Liberalism by J. Gresham Machen. christianityandliberalism.com
