  • A Body Of Divinity (Part 2) By Puritan Thomas Watson [Christian Audiobook] | Christian Classics
    2025/06/05

    Thomas Watson’s A Body of Divinity (1692) is a Puritan classic, distilling the Westminster Shorter Catechism into a comprehensive, accessible theological guide. Based on Watson’s sermons, it covers core Reformed doctrines with clarity and practical application. It begins with God’s attributes—omnipotence, omniscience, sovereignty—and humanity’s duty to glorify Him. Watson explores creation, providence, and the fall, emphasizing sin’s impact and human depravity. He then details Christ’s redemptive work, including His incarnation and atonement, followed by the Spirit’s role in regeneration, faith, and repentance. Key doctrines like justification and sanctification are unpacked, with calls to holiness. The moral law, via the Ten Commandments, and prayer, through the Lord’s Prayer, guide Christian practice. Eschatological sections on death, judgment, and heaven urge perseverance. Watson’s vivid metaphors and scriptural grounding make the work engaging and convicting, a timeless resource for Reformed theology.THOMAS WATSONA Body of Divinity by Thomas Watson is a seminal work of Puritan theology, published posthumously in 1692, based on his sermons on the Westminster Shorter Catechism.

  • [EP#4] DISTRIBUTION OF THEOLOGY - Petrus Van Mastricht's Theoretical-Practical Theology For Dummies
    2025/01/16

    Check out our new Podcast "Petrus Van Mastricht's Theoretical-Practical Theology For Dummies" as we discuss and summarise Petrus Van Mastricht's Theoretical-Practical Theology for Dummies topic-by-topic for the average modern Christian in an engaging yet easy to understand way. In this episode we cover the third topic which is "The Distribution Of Theology". THEORETICAL-PRACTICAL THEOLOGY Petrus van Mastricht's Theoretical-Practical Theology: Volume 1, Prolegomena introduces his comprehensive theological system, emphasizing the unity of doctrine, devotion, and practical application. This foundational volume outlines the essential principles and methods of theology, demonstrating van Mastricht's commitment to blending academic rigor with heartfelt piety. The term "theoretical-practical" reflects his conviction that theology must engage both the mind (theoretical) and the heart and life (practical). The Prolegomena begins with a discussion of the definition, nature, and purpose of theology. Van Mastricht asserts that theology is the doctrine of living for God through Christ, prioritizing a holistic approach that includes knowledge, faith, love, and obedience. He grounds theology in Scripture, presenting it as the inspired, authoritative Word of God. Van Mastricht also highlights the importance of interpreting Scripture faithfully and the need for theology to serve the glory of God and the edification of the church. In this volume, he elaborates on key topics such as the relationship between natural and revealed theology, the attributes of Scripture, and the role of reason in theological reflection. He insists that theology must always be rooted in Scripture and centered on Christ, integrating exegetical, doctrinal, and practical dimensions. Van Mastricht’s work stands out for its structured approach, offering a fourfold methodology for theological topics: exegesis (Scriptural foundation), doctrine (theoretical understanding), elenctics (refutation of errors), and practical application (Christian living). This framework ensures that theology is both deeply rooted in biblical truth and actively applied to the believer's life. PETRUS VAN MASTRICHT Petrus van Mastricht (1630–1706) was a Dutch Reformed theologian, pastor, and professor whose work greatly influenced Reformed theology during the 17th and 18th centuries. Born in Cologne, Germany, he studied at the University of Utrecht under Gisbertus Voetius, a leading figure in Reformed orthodoxy. Van Mastricht combined a rigorous scholastic approach to theology with a deep emphasis on practical piety, making his teachings both intellectually robust and spiritually edifying. His most notable work, Theoretico-Practica Theologia (Theoretical-Practical Theology), is a systematic theological treatise that integrates doctrine with practical application. Unlike many other theological texts of his time, van Mastricht sought to ensure that theology not only informed the mind but also transformed the heart and shaped daily Christian living. The work is structured around four components for each topic: exegesis (interpretation of Scripture), doctrine, elenctics (refutation of errors), and practical application. Van Mastricht emphasized the authority of Scripture, the centrality of Christ, and the inseparability of doctrine and practice. His writings profoundly influenced later theologians, including Jonathan Edwards, who called van Mastricht’s Theoretical-Practical Theology the best book on divinity ever written. Van Mastricht remains a key figure in Reformed theology for his balanced approach to academic rigor and devotional piety.
