We recently had the opportunity to talk with Dr. Peter Lillback, President of Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, about his doctoral dissertation, The Binding of God: Calvin’s Role in the Development of Covenant Theology. Dr. Lillback has contributed numerous articles to various publications and journals, and is the author of George Washington’s Sacred Fire and Wall of Misconception. He has set out to offer an objective reading of John Calvin in regard to his view of “covenant†and the role that it plays in theology. The Binding of God is a significant contribution to the understanding of the covenant concept in church history.You can listen to the interview here.
I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naïve. (Romans 16:17-18)
