0:00.0 | Well, welcome back to another episode of five minutes in church history. We a few episodes ago had Dr. Derek Thomas with us and |
0:07.7 | We have him back. We're here at Ligonier's National Conference, so we've pulled him out of his |
0:13.8 | Post up there in Columbia, South Carolina brought him down to Orlando. It is always a pleasure for me to spend time with you, Dr. |
0:21.5 | Thomas. Thank you for being with us. |
0:23.7 | Thank you, Steve. No, no chicken fried chicken and Johnny cakes this time. |

1:46.1 | Yes, and a Polynarianism, and I think the Polynarianism is alive and well in the modern |
