0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Sociology 101. Today we have a special guest with us, Dr. Roger Olson.
0:14.6	He is a PhD, a professor of theology and the holder and holder of the Foy-Valentine Professorship
0:20.2	of Christian Theology and Ethics.
0:22.5	Not only that, he is a mentor from a distance of mine. I have listened to Dr. Olson for a long
0:28.7	time now in his discussions over certiology. He's read his blog on a regular occasion and have
0:36.1	read the book against Calvinism along with some of other
0:38.6	works from Dr. Olson. Dr. Olson, welcome to the program. Thank you so much for joining us.
0:43.7	Thank you for having me. Well, today I want to talk to you about some things I know that we hold
0:48.9	in common and then towards the end we may talk about some things that we may have a little

1:18.4	theological spectrum, so to speak. But first of all, just thanks for your work. I know you've
1:23.3	kind of been a lightning rod in some ways to the rise within the Southern Baptist Convention,
1:29.6	the convention that I'm a part of, with regard to the whole debate over Armenianism and Calvinism.
1:34.7	And you've always handled yourself, obviously, very professionally with your engagements with
1:41.8	Dr. Michael Horton and your friendship and kind of a showing as an example of how you can have these discussions with brothers in Christ in a brotherly way.
1:50.3	And so I've tried to model that in my own program. And so I appreciate you setting that example for those who are coming behind us and are trying to learn to engage in a more fruitful way, if you will.
2:02.9	But I wanted to ask you this question, and it kind of has to do with a divisiveness issue,
