Episode Details

Jordan talks with Andrew Balltich about Owen and the Holy Spirit. They cover topics like: Why does Owen devote such time to the Holy Spirit? Do his contemporaries do the same? Is his pneumatology a doctrine he develops for its own sake, or is it to undergird another doctrine, like a particular debate about soteriology? What does Owen mean by the Spirit being the efficient cause of biblical interpretation? What role does infused virtue play in Owen’s biblical interpretation? What would Owen think about natural theology? Especially our contemporary conversations about it? And more!
