Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley are joined by Dr. Ligon Duncan to talk about everything from catechism to baptism and more.

Questions Covered in This Episode:

  • What doctrinal, historical, cultural, or philosophical issues have your attention right now?
  • How helpful can confessionalism be in an age where a church can be divided over cultural issues?
  • Can we talk about catechism for a bit? For Presbyterians in your spheres, is catechesis still important? How does it work itself out in the homes and churches of Presbyterian families?
  • How should we think about catechizing our children into distinctly christian beliefs and orthodoxy?
  • Talk to me about baptizing babies. What am I missing? Is this just a natural outgrowth of covenantal theology? Are we, those who want to embrace a covenantal perspective but not baptize children, the inconsistent ones?

Helpful Definitions:

  • Ecclesiology: The doctrine of the church.
  • Sacramentum: The epaulet or badge that would be worn on a Roman army officer's uniform. An oath taken by a Roman military officer.
