The Weight of Majesty | God’s Immutability
We have been commemorating the 10th anniversary of our initial study, Behold Your God: Rethinking God Biblically. But many are unaware of its followup study, Behold Your God: The Weight of Majesty. We wanted to take two special episodes to highlight the interviews we conducted during the production of that study.
In this week’s special episode, we ask Andrew Davies, Sinclair Ferguson, and Jordan Thomas questions about God’s immutability.
Next week we will begin a new series of episodes with an emphasis on studying Scripture and the discipline of hermeneutics.
