What is the future of Reformed theology? Or what might we pray and hope that it will be? In Episode 75 of Greystone Conversations, we continue to mark the 10th anniversary of the Institute with another special episode. From the beginning, Greystone has endeavored to commend and advance the tradition of confessional Reformed catholicity, and much of that effort has been a work of recovery, not only…

Once more we ask: how might it affect our perception and appreciation of the Anglican Formularies and the Anglican tradition if we were to ask what contribution that tradition makes to the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church, instead of thinking of it as a relatively isolated, even insulated church tradition? At Greystone, we embrace our confessional Reformed identity and practice, but we do…
How might it affect our perception and appreciation of the Continental Reformed tradition if we were to ask what contribution that tradition makes to the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church, instead of thinking of it as a relatively isolated, even insulated church tradition? At Greystone, we embrace our confessional Reformed identity and practice, but we do so somewhat differently than what…
How might it affect our perception and appreciation of Westminster Presbyterianism if we were to ask what contribution Presbyterianism makes to the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church, instead of thinking of it as a relatively isolated, even insulated church tradition? At Greystone, we embrace our confessional Reformed identity and practice, but we do so somewhat differently than what has…
What are the roles of church councils in the overall faith and life of God’s people? Is there more to say than simply to note their importance for the history of theology? Are they infallible or fallible, antiquated or still viable options for resolving disagreements in the church? To discuss these questions and more, Dr. Mark A. Garcia is joined by Dr. Todd Rester, associate professor of church…
What would you write to your adult children about the good life? Would it strike the modern notes of making the most of yourself and your abilities, seizing every opportunity, making a difference in the world? Or would it focus on the beauty and goodness of our created and providentially given limits, personally and relationally? This is the question that prompted Ephraim Radner’s most recent…
In our day, while biblical and theological studies certainly continue to abound, questions about the traditional Christian understanding of the atonement are not primarily focused on the question is it biblical. Nor are they focused on whether it is theologically coherent. Instead, they are driven by a concern that it may be violent, and whether that is or is not biblical or theologically coherent…
What if preaching is not only to be carried out with humility, but is also itself a humble form of the Word of God in power? Augustine is known mostly for his large and profound theological treatises, but how can this most influential of theologians also teach us about the urgency of humility as a mode of preaching to humble people? In today's Greystone Conversations episode, Dr. Mark A. Garcia…
What might it look like to refuse generalizations about faithful pastoral ministry and allow the people and context of actual ministerial labor to inform the measure of faithfulness? At Greystone, we make much of the ordinary sources of wisdom in God’s Word and ways. But by “ordinary” we don’t mean something less valuable or less important. In fact, we mean the opposite. It is in the ordinary (and…
