Summary

"Why the talk lately about Thomas Aquinas? It’s because Theonomy and Postmillennialism are rooted in the authority of the Bible to govern all of man’s activities. Aquinas held a very different view that has deeply influenced western theological thought. The flashpoint? Put down Aquinas and learn about Cornelius Van Til." - John White

0:00.0	Hey guys, real quick, before we get started, I have a small request. If you've been blessed by our
0:04.5	content and you like this show, would you take just a brief moment and leave us a five-star review?
0:09.7	This is quite possibly the most effective thing that you can do to ensure that this content
0:14.6	gets out to as many people as possible. Thanks. All right, welcome back to another episode of Theology
0:20.3	applied. I am your host, Pastor Joel Webbin, with Wright Response Ministries. And. All right, welcome back to another episode of Theology Applied. I am your host,
0:21.6	Pastor Joel Webbin, with Wright Response Ministries. And in this episode of Theology Applied,
0:26.2	I was very privileged to have as a special guest, John White. Not James White. We've had him before.

1:31.1	Aquinas held a very different view that is deeply influenced Western theological thought.
1:37.1	The flashpoint, put down Aquinas and learn about Cornelius Van Til.
1:43.6	That's the focus of this episode. We're going to draw,
1:46.2	make it plain and visible. This is why people are excited about Aquinas, because they don't want
1:53.6	to be theonomic. They don't want to be post-millennial. They don't want to practically apply
1:59.7	the scripture as the authority, not just for matters of salvation, but matters of life.
2:06.6	All scripture is God-breathed.
