Zach DasherHOST
Um, I got this from, I, I mentioned one of the guys earlier, Francis Schaeffer.
Zach DasherHOST
There's another, another guy named, uh, Cornelius Van Til, who, uh, was a professor at Westminster Seminary that I started reading some of his books on apologetics.
Zach DasherHOST
And at first I hated it, 'cause I was like, "This is like, this guy's, like, cir- reasoning in a circle." And I was like, I hated that 'cause I was really into, like, the evidences, you know.
Zach DasherHOST
Give me all the evidences for, for the Christian faith, you know.

Les LanphereGUEST
Most people agree with with that.
Les LanphereGUEST
It's a here's the history, OK? In 1975, this woman named Susan Bowe, she was she wrote a paper in the Westminster, a journal for Westminster Seminary in Philadelphia.
Les LanphereGUEST
And she writes a paper called The Desire of Eve or What is the Desire of Eve? And she posits a new interpretation that no one had ever heard of in history that.
Les LanphereGUEST
Eve's desire was actually to usurp her husband's authority.
Mark DanielsNARRATOR
Thank you for listening.
Tim WitmerGUEST
Before I get into the subject matter proper, I did want to let you know that we've been working on some very important developments at Westminster Seminary that I think will be of interest to you and probably to your people.
Tim WitmerGUEST
We've gotten very, very tired of people saying that Westminster Seminary is not very practical, and so we thought that one of the things we might do is launch a website that would be called, yeah, that would be called meharmony.com. Now the idea, of course, the idea is not to match people, men and women, but to match someone with the right church.
Tim WitmerGUEST
And so we developed a series of matchability factors that we hope will help people to make those decisions.
Tim WitmerGUEST
And here's just a couple of the matchability factors.

Tim WitmerGUEST
So keep those four shepherding functions in mind.
Tim WitmerGUEST
And Sixthly, if the worst one in terms of accomplishing this is the comprehensiveness factor, this is next, accountability, accountability.
Tim WitmerGUEST
So you set up a plan, you set up a plan, and if you don't have any accountability, guess what? Right, all right, so I'm a professor at Westminster Seminary, and guess what, if there was not a deadline, how many papers you think I'd get.
Wayne GrudemGUEST
But when it came time to graduate from college and decide what to do next, I went to seminary instead, got a Master of Divinity.
Wayne GrudemGUEST
And then partway through seminary, a friend of mine, James Hurley, he'd gone Harvard, Westminster Seminary, Cambridge University, England.
Wayne GrudemGUEST
And I'd gone Harvard, Westminster Seminary, and he said to me, Wayne, you'd like it over here in England.
Wayne GrudemGUEST
the atmosphere for study.
Wayne GrudemGUEST
And so I applied and got accepted to do a PhD in New Testament at Cambridge.
Les LanphereGUEST
Most people agree with with that.

Brian FrommHOST
Machen was a New Testament scholar at Princeton Theological Seminary and the leading conservative voice in the fundamentalist modernist controversy of the 1920s and 1930s.
Brian FrommHOST
He left Princeton to found Westminster Theological Seminary and helped establish what became the Orthodox Presbyterian Church.
Brian FrommHOST
His book called Christianity and Liberalism, released in 1923, remains the classic argument that liberal Protestantism isn't just a variant of Christianity but a different religion altogether.
Brian FrommHOST
So he's not the one you would have expected to say, I am vehemently opposed to the Bible being taught in schools.
Jared PoultonGUEST
So J. Adams found himself ministering among the Bible Presbyterians, and then he later completed his PhD in speech and transitioned into the OPC in the 1960s.
Jared PoultonGUEST
Having graduated with his PhD in speech and preaching, he was contacted by Westminster Theological Seminary, which was looking for some help in the area of pastoral ministry.
Jared PoultonGUEST
And it was at Westminster where J. Adams would develop this approach to biblical counseling.
Jared PoultonGUEST
And he used the platforms of Westminster to get this biblical reappraisal of counseling into the broader Reformed and evangelical world.
Jared LuttjeboerHOST
Could you tell us the story of what led Jay Adams to launch a biblical counseling movement?
Jared PoultonGUEST
So there are several key moments that help us to understand how biblical counseling got started.
Jared PoultonGUEST
But first, let me say that Jay Adams... may not have been the first person you think of in launching a renewal movement in the area of pastoral care or a reformation in biblical counseling if you actually look at his history and his credentialing it's quite unexpected jay adams was a 20th century conservative and reformed pastor So the first important moment of the launch of the biblical counseling movement was Adams' arrival at Westminster Theological Seminary.
Jared PoultonGUEST
As many new hires, you always don't get to choose the classes that you teach.
James BoiceHOST
In April of last year, the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals held a meeting for evangelical leaders in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and out of that came the Cambridge Declaration.
James BoiceHOST
One of the papers that was presented at this conference was by Sinclair Ferguson, a professor at Westminster Seminary who often worships with us when he's here in Philadelphia, and it was on repentance.
James BoiceHOST
Ferguson discussed the errors of the Middle Ages against which Luther was reacting, and he argued that at least five features of that old medieval Christianity are noticeable today in contemporary evangelicalism.
James BoiceHOST
Let me just review them.
