R2K for Dummies Podcast

I have now entered the realm of Podcasts. The new host site for the podcasts will be

Iron Rhetoric

My first podcast is on Radical Two Kingdom Theology. My podcast comes in the context of a freshly released paper that deals with the core theology of R2K.

A Booklet on Merit in the Doctrine of Republication

This paper, which deals with Mosaic Covenant Republication theory, is the foundation upon which R2K rests. If the covenant republication theory can be shown to be specious then the whole R2K project fails. This paper, written by three OPC ministers, reveals that the whole covenant republication theory is indeed specious.

The curtain is beginning to fall on the whole Klineian Escondido Westminster Ca. R2K project. It is dying the death of a thousand qualifications. It will not survive long among thinking people now that it is being examined closely in more and more quarters. Doubtless it will live on in the lacunae and backwaters of Reformed micro institutions much like one can still find a champion for Amyraldianism here or there.

Let us pray that the Federal Vision comes to the same end.

Your biggest help to me dear reader will be to often remind me that God is Sovereign and that all that is, is because it pleases him.

  2. Pastor Mc:

    Funny enough, I found this statement below probably more noteworthy than the paper that you linked (ok, not really):

    “The curtain is beginning to fall on the whole Klineian Escondido Westminster Ca. R2K project. It is dying the death of a thousand qualifications. It will not survive long among thinking people now that it is being examined closely in more and more quarters. Doubtless it will live on in the lacunae and backwaters of Reformed micro institutions much like one can still find a champion for Amyraldianism here or there.”

    Could you please expound on this a little bit more? Do you see a trend toward more people moving away from R2K? (I guess so, otherwise, you would not have made that statement).
    If they are moving away from it, what are they going to? Theonomy? Neo-cal?

    1. Christopher,

      I think our cultural meltdown will likely press people towards some expression of Reformed Theology that has answers to that cultural meltdown. Of course I would consider such a movement, a movement towards standard, vanilla, Reformed Christianity.

  3. Hi, Bret. When will the feed for your podcast be available? I can’t find it on my podcast app. Chris

  4. Great name for a great resource, Bret. May your efforts provide a push toward closing the door on this chapter of unorthodox preaching.

  5. Pastor Brett,

    Iron Rhetoric link in original post is broken I believe. The link immediately above does work, but brings up the player only. The podcast was excellent all around. Thanks.
