I've read some Crisp (Deviant Calvinism, etc...often insightful, even when I disagree 😅), so I might check out that book you referenced along with that Dogmatic Theology if I can get my hands on it...sometime...after the bajillion other books I've got in the queue are done...lol thanks for the video and looking forward to watching the next! (catching up on these haha)
Way to go, Ernest! Shedd's DT is AWESOME, and that volume by Crisp is helpful. Really cool to see a modern theologian engage so deeply with WGT Shedd. Shedd is so good and so timely for our current age.
Thank you for your videos. I've been watching a few now and have a renewed interest in taking up my Shedd systematic again. I was reading his chapter on Bibliology and had to underline (in Logos) this part near the beginning: "In this sense, all that man knows intuitively is revealed to him; for even his axiomatic knowledge does not originate from himself independently and apart from his Creator. All that he knows in this manner, he knows through his intellect, and this intellect is the workmanship of God. Man cognizes in accordance with the laws of human intelligence, and these laws are established by his maker." So would this cover everything? Math, science, chemistry, biology? If there is truth (as per Augustine I guess) then it's GOD's truth. Whatever truth it is. Not man's. 2+2=4 is a fact that both Christians and non-Christians can talk about because it's universally God's truth, albeit general revelation. What are your thoughts on the Shedd quote?
Shedd is right! All truth is God's truth, from natural revelation to supernatural revelation. All that we hear has been heard. All that we know has been told. All that we have has been received.
@@thenerdypastor2778 Thanks for your reply! Any interest in a future video on the history and maybe current happening within liberal theology? That's been an interest for me for a couple years now, although I haven't really delved deep into it. I know a good attack against it was from Machen with his book, but what is going on currently? What is the current battle? Or do you figure that line has almost died by now? A very interesting parallel line.
Valuable series. Thanks for taking this on!
Always excited to see a new video drop from you! 👍🏼
Thank you so much for your support and encouragement!

Hi, can you do a review on the mystical theology of The Eastern Church by vladmir lossky
Hi Jordan, thanks for the comment/request. Yes, I have that book but have not read it. Hopefully I can present a review at some point.
