| Heidelcast 73: Nomism And Antinomianism (11) | 21 Aug 2014 | 00:29:29 | |
Last time we considered what some folk mean by the expression “the law of Christ” and, in contrast, what the Bible means by it. It’s neither a new covenant of works, as if we could obey our way into acceptance with God . . . Continue reading → | |||
| Heidelcast 72: The Covenant Of Grace And Race | 15 Aug 2014 | 00:42:10 | |
If you’ve been near social media or a television recently you probably know about the troubles in Ferguson, Missouri. It’s a predominantly African-American suburb of St Louis where, around Noon on Saturday August 9, 2014 a Mike Brown, a young, 18-year old, . . . Continue reading → | |||
| Heidelcast 71: Nomism And Antinomianism (10) | 12 Aug 2014 | 00:27:57 | |
We’ve come to the 3rd part of the Marrow, “Of the law of Christ.” This is a phrase that occurs frequently in this discussion. Neither the antinomian nor the neonomian are satisfied with the law of Christ the way it is. The . . . Continue reading → | |||
| Heidelcast 70: Nomism And Antinomianism (9) | 05 Jul 2014 | 00:33:25 | |
The issue before this week is this: The nomist (i.e., the legalist) will frequently deny that he is a legalist. We can even get the nomist to profess orthodox things about the doctrine of justification but here’s an acid test—by the way . . . Continue reading → | |||
| Heidelcast 69: Stella Morabito On Political Correctness | 17 May 2014 | 00:42:54 | |
The Heidelcast is a broadcast about history and theology and recovering the Reformed confession but one of my great concerns in recent years has been the potential and actual loss of religious and other civil liberties. It’s not unusual for Reformed ministers . . . Continue reading → | |||
| Heidelcast 68: Science! (pt 2) | 12 Apr 2014 | 00:48:57 | |
It’s widely thought that science, the modern study of nature, is the product of the rejection of Christianity, as if science and Christianity are naturally at odds. As part of this narrative it is said that Christianity was anti-intellectual and disinterested in . . . Continue reading → | |||
| Heidelcast 67: Recovering Mother Kirk | 05 Apr 2014 | 00:42:02 | |
Before there was Recovering the Reformed Confession, there was Recovering Mother Kirk a seminal book for all Reformed confessionalists who are looking for a way between revivalism and fundamentalism or between QIRC and QIRE. Darryl Hart published Recovering Mother Kirk just over . . . Continue reading → | |||

| Heidelcast 63: Nomism And Antinomianism (6) | 27 Feb 2014 | 00:35:29 | |
The Heidelcast is working through The Marrow of Modern Divinity (1645). Last time we began looking at the doctrine of the covenant of grace. We saw that the principle of the covenant of grace is fundamentally different from that of the covenant of works. . . . Continue reading → | |||
| Heidelcast 62: Nomism And Antinomianism (5) | 19 Feb 2014 | 00:30:09 | |
The Heidelcast is working through The Marrow of Modern Divinity (1645) as a model for how to account for justification and sanctification, how to keep them together, without losing either and without confusing them. The circumstances in which The Marrow first appeared were . . . Continue reading → | |||
| Heidelcast 61: Nomism And Antinomianism (4) | 05 Feb 2014 | 00:36:41 | |
The first major section of the Marrow of Modern Divinity was a defense of the covenant of works. It is fascinating to see how, already in the 1640s, the covenant of works came under criticism from the nomists (legalists, moralists). Nothing really . . . Continue reading → | |||
| Heidelcast 60: Nomism And Antinomianism (3) | 30 Jan 2014 | 00:27:58 | |

| Heidelcast 58: Nomism And Antinomianism (1) | 16 Jan 2014 | 00:35:24 | |
With this episode we begin a series on the proper understanding and use of the law in the Christian life. We’ll be talking about both two of our least favorite relatives, uncle nomism and antinomianism. In contrast to these two errors we’ll . . . Continue reading → | |||
| Heidelcast 57: Why We Can’t Move On (3) | 04 Jan 2014 | 00:24:12 | |
Revisionism isn’t always a bad thing. I am a revisionist myself. I’ve been trying to help people see the history of Reformed theology rather differently from the way it was often presented from the middle of the 19th century through the 1970s. . . . Continue reading → | |||
| Heidelcast 56: Why We Can’t Move On (2) | 28 Dec 2013 | 00:28:42 | |
Sometimes it might have seemed that we haven’t had to contend for the gospel but the historical reality is that we were kidding ourselves. In every case where the gospel has been seriously challenged, whether by Pelagius, medieval semi-Pelagianism, Trent in the . . . Continue reading → | |||
| Heidelcast 55: Why We Can’t Move On (1) | 21 Dec 2013 | 00:30:33 | |
There is a certain amount of pressure within the NAPARC world to “move on” from the Federal Vision. In the next three episodes we’re going to consider why that is and how Reformed folk, particularly ministers and elders (but laity too), should . . . Continue reading → | |||
| Heidelcast 54: The Story Of The Meyers Case (Pt 2) | 14 Dec 2013 | 00:28:51 | |
For those who are outside the Reformed churches, the so-called (and self-named) Federal Vision movement probably seems like a tempest in a teapot. For those of us, however, who worship in Reformed churches, the FV is no theoretical discussion. There have been . . . Continue reading → | |||

| Heidelcast 53: The Story Of The Meyers Case And State Of The FV Controversy (Pt 1) | 07 Dec 2013 | 00:32:54 | |
The self-described and so-called Federal Vision movement has been troubling the confessional (NAPARC) Reformed and Presbyterian denominations since before it had a cool name. It presents itself as Reformed theology but is only Reformed in the way that Arminius was Reformed. He . . . Continue reading → | |||
| Heidelcast 52: Images Of Christ Don’t Affirm His Humanity, They Deny It | 30 Nov 2013 | 00:29:35 | |
In some Reformed quarters to it is considered clever to argue that to reject images is to deny the humanity of Christ. That Reformed writers should make such an argument would shock our Reformed forefathers, who were convinced that images of Christ . . . Continue reading → | |||
| Heidelcast 51: Happy Thanksgiving From The Heidelcast | 28 Nov 2013 | 00:22:33 | |
According to the Heidelberg Catechism there are three great heads of the Christian faith: guilt, grace, and gratitude. There may be other motivations to godliness but the catechism isn’t structured by them. It is structured by gratitude. Yet, there are those who . . . Continue reading → | |||
| Heidelcast 50: Making Some Sense Of The Republication Debate Pt 3: With Chris Gordon | 23 Nov 2013 | 00:36:06 | |
Beginning at least in the 1560s, it was non-controversial for Reformed theologians to teach that God, before the fall, entered into a legal, probationary covenant with Adam, who was the representative of the whole human race, the condition of which was perfect . . . Continue reading → | |||

On today’s Heidelcast, part 2 of our discussion about conditions in the covenant of grace. In episode 46 I tried to establish a distinction between two kinds of conditions in the covenant of grace: antecedent and consequent. An antecedent condition is a work, . . . Continue reading → | |||

| Heidelcast 39: Confessional Church Planting In Cincinnati | 15 Sep 2013 | 00:25:03 | |
An important part of recovering the Reformed confession is calling the churches back to our theology, piety, and practice. Church planting is a part of that practice. We’ve always been “missional.” We were missional before there was a cool word for it. . . . Continue reading → | |||

| Heidelcast: Comfort of the Covenant (23): Eternal Generation of the Son as Part of the Substance of the Covenant of Grace | 09 Feb 2025 | 00:56:25 | |
Dr Clark continues the series, "The Comfort of the Covenant." This series will show us the value of having a good covenant theology in order to help us understand the history of redemption correctly and well. And, more particularly, to help understand the gospel and how the gospel relates to the covenant of grace. In this episode, Dr. Clark continues discussing A Firm Foundation: An Aid to Interpreting the Heidelberg Catechism by Caspar Olevianus and considers Olevianus' explanation of the eternal generation of the Son as part of the substance of the covenant of grace.
