Martin Luther once noted that in numerous passages throughout the Old Testament, it’s appropriate to “interpret the name Yahweh to refer to our Lord Jesus Christ.” So how can this insight change the way we read and interpret a book like Genesis? On this episode, Shane Rosenthal continues his conversation with Dr. Thomas Egger, president of Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, and together they discuss how so many of the themes introduced in the Bible’s first book are ultimately resolved in the person and work of Jesus Christ.

The Search for the Historical Joseph
On last week’s episode, John Lennox argued that the story of Joseph is one of the most moving accounts in all the world’s literature. But is this famous narrative just a beautiful rags to riches tale, or is there any evidence that Joseph was a real historical figure who became prime minister of Egypt during the time of a great famine? Shane Rosenthal discusses this question with Egyptologist David Rohl, author of numerous books including, Exodus: Myth or History? __________ If you would like to listen to the interview we recorded with Dr. Rohl last year, for a limited time we’re making that episode available on our website.

Proclaiming the Gospel in an Age of Super Apostles
WHI Classic • In his second letter to the Corinthians, Paul warned his readers about various slick preachers that he referred to as the “super-apostles.” Though their style was smooth and rhetorically attractive, the substance of the gospel was either being ignored or distorted. So Paul admonishes the Corinthians church saying, “if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus…you put up with it readily enough!” On this edition of the White Horse Inn, the hosts discuss Paul’s concerns about style over substance, especially as it relates to trends in the contemporary church (originally Aird 08-28-11). __________ Sign up now to join Michael Horton and others for one of our two-day Modern Reformation Weekend Conferences.

From Doxology to Discipleship
WHI Classic: How does a life of discipleship flow out of doxology and worship? First, we need to remind ourselves once again that worship is the natural response to encountering the God of Scripture. Once we have been captivated by his mercy and kindness to us in Christ, we not only offer him praise and adoration, but we also give him our very selves, for we are now no longer our own, but have been bought with a price (1Cor 6:19-20). On this program the hosts discuss what it means to become true and lasting disciples of Jesus Christ (originally aired 02-12-17). __________ Get our collection, The Spirit of the Age: Challenging the Alternative Gospels of Our Time.
