Listen "Further Thoughts on Scripture and The Great Tradition"
Episode Synopsis
The sermon presents a theological and historical reflection on the progressive revelation of God's nature, emphasizing that while the doctrine of the Trinity is not explicitly stated in the Old Testament, it is revealed through the incarnate Son and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the New Testament. It argues that God's self-revelation unfolds in stages—first establishing monotheism to counter idolatry in Israel's polytheistic context, then progressively unveiling the triune nature of God through Christ and the Spirit, culminating in the fullness of divine revelation. The sermon highlights how the names of God, such as Yahweh and Elohim, reflect different aspects of His character and covenant faithfulness, and how the Psalms' shift from Yahweh to Elohim mirrors the people's spiritual condition and the need for humility before God. It warns against distorting Scripture to serve ideological agendas, especially those promoting patriarchal or racial hierarchies, and calls for a return to text-driven, historically grounded theology that honors the church's confessional heritage without enslavement to tradition. Ultimately, the message affirms that the full revelation of God in Christ is both the foundation and the practical guide for Christian faith and life.
