| 0:00.0 | Hello there and welcome to the Thinking Fellows podcast. My name is Caleb and I am joined by my father, Dr. Scott Keith, to talk about the Augsburg Confession and the apology to the Augsburg Confession. Today we will be starting in Article 11. Last episode we got through the Lord's Supper and baptism and means of grace. |
| 0:40.1 | I think I named that episode how to obtain the forgiveness of sins because as we had been |
| 0:46.1 | describing it, we had a race to justification. We had justification itself and now we have |
| 0:52.2 | sort of the, well, it's like a reverse race back towards |
| 0:56.8 | justification, right, but in reality, explaining the way by which God delivers the forgiveness |
| 1:02.4 | described in Article 4. |
| 1:04.9 | Yep. |
| 1:05.7 | And so we are going to continue on here. |
| 1:09.7 | Article 9 is great, and Article 11 and 12 are pretty expanded in the |
| 1:17.5 | Apology. So these are one of the sections where, you know, short in Augsburg, and then we get a nice |
| 1:23.7 | long section in the apology. So we'll go through those. Before we do, we have a quick |
| 1:28.7 | message from the podcast network about a new book coming out. So you're going about to hear that |
| 1:33.7 | now, and then we will cut back to the show. Most Christians know that Jesus told us that all |
| 1:41.6 | the Old Testament testifies of him. |
| 1:46.4 | The challenge we face is knowing how. |
| 1:49.5 | How are the stories in Genesis about Jesus? |
| 1:53.8 | How are we supposed to find Christ in the dark and bloody book of judges, |
| 1:56.2 | or the wisdom sayings of Proverbs? |
| 2:04.9 | To answer all these questions and provide a guide for readers of the Old Testament who are looking for Jesus, I wrote the Christ key. |
| 2:10.0 | I'm Chad Bird, and for over three decades, I've been studying and teaching the Old Testament. |
| 2:21.1 | I wrote the Christ key for you so you could unlock all the doors in the Old Testament, step inside, and say to each of them, show me Jesus. |
