A Biblical Theology of Effectual Signs

On this episode, Fr. John Heaton, headmaster of New Covenant Schools in Lynchburg, VA, joins us to discuss a biblical theology of effectual signs. The Anglican tradition understands the sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper in terms of effectual signs, but what does that mean, exactly? How does that show up in the text of Holy Scripture? How does this help us better understand the nature of the Christian life? And how might this address blind spots and distortions in the Roman Catholic and revivalistic evangelical worlds? Getting a good handle on the Bible is one of the best ways to teach and discuss these important concepts with those that may be unfamiliar with or even antagonistic to them.Tallis’ Canon recorded by Steven Dixon.
