Resist Tyrants, Obey God

from Theology on the Go Hosted by Jonathan Master

When considering the Reformation, men like Martin Luther and John Calvin come readily to mind, but few would put John Knox in the same category. And yet Jacob Tanner, author and pastor of Christ Keystone Church in Middleburg, Pennsylvania, argues that Knox's contributions are as valuable as anything that Luther or Calvin put forth. Jacob sits down with Jonathan and James today to explore the life and teachings of John Knox, which are highlighted in Jacob's new book, Resist Tyrants, Obey God. …John Knox, as the reformer of Scotland, as it were, is one of the most important, I would argue, theologians that the West has ever produced, and a lot of people don't think of him that way. – Jacob Tanner Together, they discuss why Knox remains a pivotal figure in Protestant theology and how his principles of resistance and obedience to God resonate in today's world. Join us for an enlightening conversation about faith, public witness, and the power of prayer. Thanks to the generosity of Founders Press, we are pleased to award a couple copies of Jacob Tanner’s book, Resist Tyrants, Obey God to our listeners. Congratulations to Kerri P. from Marion, TX and Kyle A. from Clarksville, IN! Show Notes: To view Jacob Tanner’s books: https://press.founders.org/?s=jacob+tanner
