I was joined by Pastor Lewis Polzin to discuss chapter three of Henry Eyster Jacobs’ book A Summary of the Christian Faith on the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. We discussed the use of the term “Trinity,” ancient Christian heresies regarding the Trinity, the doctrine of the Trinity in the Old Testament, and many other important topics. Here is the program.

Dr. Curtis Leins was recently interviewed on Issues etc. regarding the AALC’s call to the ELCA to repent over some of her doctrinal and moral stances. Here is the audio. Read more
A friend on Facebook asked one of those questions that many Christians of goodwill wrestle with. Though the church body in question for him is the Roman Catholic Church, one might easily wonder the same thing about any heterodox group. Here’s his question: [A]re Roman Catholics Christians? If Justification is the chief doctrine, and they flat out deny it, are they not unbelievers? Just because they mention the name Jesus, along with Mary and the Saints, does that make them... Read more
There has got to be a good explanation for this. Or, barring that, just an explanation. We’ll do our best… Levi is a business-owner, a husband, and a dad (x6); Trent and Matt are starving seminarians in the frozen wastes of Canada, eh. Like you, we’re busy. But we like doing this, and we feel that it’s worthwhile enough that we want to schedule time out of our weeks and/or shirk minor duties in order to produce it. Like you... Read more
On today’s edition of Pseudepodcast, the pseudepodcasters were nowhere to be heard…well, except for two of them, in the background… Yes, that’s right — the Rev. Dr. John R. Stephenson, professor of Historical Theology at Concordia Lutheran Theological Seminary in St. Catharines, Ontario, allowed his Wednesday lecture to be recorded. So here’s a taste of what Matt and Trent are experiencing right now at seminary. Like what you hear? Interested in the possibility of studying for a MTS or... Read more
After some requests, I have decided to release the audio for today’s podcast as a separate audio file, without the usual podcast format, but as a theological lecture on its own. Here is the lecture Read more
I’m obligated to tell you that my sharing of this material does not necessarily constitute a plenary endorsement of every point contained or made therein by Just & Sinner dot com or by any of its affiliates. However, with that having been said… Every confessional Lutheran pastor, every elder, every astute layman, every teacher, et al, should read and study this four-part workshop on evangelism by Rev. Heath R. Curtis. But mostly the pastors. Here you go: Freed from the... Read more
Today’s program was more in the format of a seminary lecture than a normal podcast. I discussed the importance of the ordo salutis, the nature of contemporary objections to the idea, and finally gave a brief overview of the various aspects of the order of salvation. Here is the program Read more
Every time I see a book on apologetics by Lutherans, my pulse quickens a bit. There is no doubt that this is an area where we have not been as strong as we could be, and so I see apologetics as an important issue for Christians to be aware of and understand, at least to a some degree. This book is truly worth the read and I think it has something that will interest most everyone – even those perhaps... Read more
