Welcome back to another episode of five minutes in church history. On this episode we are

returning to our deserted island and we are going to put our good friend

Dr Guy Ricard on that island.

Dr. Richard, welcome to five minutes in church history.

Well, thank you, Steve.

It is great to be with you today.

Well, we're looking forward to having you.

You are the senior minister at First Presbyterian Church in Gulfport, Mississippi, and you did

your work at Reformed Theological Seminary there in Jackson, Mississippi, and went on to do your doctorate at the University of Edinburgh and you

also do some teaching for Reformed Theological Seminary and you've been doing some teaching

for us here at Ligonier and our D-min program and we're going to give you a gift.

We're going to send you to a deserted island and let you just read some books. Now this is a Theologically Engaged Island. It has the

works of Augustine on it. It has the works of Edwards, Calvin. So it's already pretty well

stocked with the standard texts.

In addition to that, you can take five books with you.

So what five books would it be?

So does the island come stocked with Calvin's institutes already?

The there there.

Okay.

Well that changes things I guess, yes.

I think the first I'd take is J. I.

Packers knowing God.
