Hello and welcome to the Thinking Fellows podcast. My name is Scott Keith, and I'm joined here by my two friends, Dr. Adam Francisco and Dr. Rod Rosenblatt.

The Thinking Fellows podcast is basically a conversation around my kitchen table. The three of us may be drinking, we may be smoking.

You may hear the click of a lighter as I light my pipe,

and we invite you to sit in on our casual conversation about theology, apologetics, history,

and occasionally even culture.

Today, and for the next several episodes, we'll be discussing doctrines of theology as they come to us through the Lochi Method.

The Lochi method is an important method that was developed

early on by the classical authors and later adopted by Reformation theologians as a way of

ordering topics of theology. Philip Melanchthon was the first to come up with the Lochi

method for Lutheran for to utilize it and we used it for over 150 years in our theological textbooks

used by both pastors and laymen alike. So once again, I enjoy you to sit back, pour a drink,

and sit in on the conversation as Dr. Rosenblot, Dr. Francisco, and I, Dr. Scott Keith, discussed

the doctrine of sin. Welcome to the first show of the Thinking Fellows podcast.

My name is Caleb Keith.

I'm the producer of the show.

And today we're going to start off by asking the hosts of our show, Dr.'s Rod Rosenblatt,

Scott Keith and out of Francisco, why did you guys decide to do the Thinking Fellows

and what's it all about?

Start talking to Dr. Rod Rosenblatt here on my right, I think probably a couple months ago about

putting something together for 1517, the Legacy Project that dealt specifically with those

things that 1517 legacy is all about, teaching theology, being a theological

resource for congregations and for believers, and delving into ideas of apologetics and history
