Welcome back to another episode of Five Minutes in Church history.

On this episode, I'm joined by a very special guest, Dr. Kevin DeYoung.

He is the pastor at Christ Covenant Presbyterian Church in Charlotte, North Carolina.

He teaches systematic theology for Reformed Theological Seminary.

He is the author of so many books. His newest one is Daily Doctrine. It's a book of daily readings,

365 readings in systematic theology. I received one in the mail, and then my son promptly took it, so I'm in the

process of getting another one. Dr. DeYoung, it's great to have you on five minutes. Great to be here.

Well, I'm going to do you a favor. I'm going to pull you out of all your responsibilities, and I'm going to

ship you off to a deserted island. You can take five books with you. It's already got Bibles. It's already got the works of

Augustine, the works of Calvin, the works of Jonathan Edwards. So it's a theologically rich island,

but you can take five books with you. What would those books be? All right. Very hard, but very

fun. I'm thinking of multi-volume sets. Ah, that's the way to do it. Yeah, I for sure want a hymnal.

You didn't say there was a hymnal on there. So that's the most important thing. Great.

After a Bible. So I'll just, I'll take the Trinity hymnal. It's got the Westminster standards in the back.

It's got 700 hymns. So let's take that. I want to sing,

even if I'm by myself. So devotionally, I need the hymnal. Second, I got to think about my

upbringing, and I want to find a way to get the Heidelberg Catechism. Just the Heidelberg

Catechism is too small, so let's take Ersinus' commentary on the

Heidelberg Catechism. Her Sinus is the principal author of it. So that's going to get me a lot of

theology to chew on and is also going to get me the whole Catechism. So our sinuses commentary on the Heidelberg Catechism.

Third, so I've read it before, but let's just take the Lord of the Rings.

Let's take the Hobbit.
