ST205: Systematic Theology — The Being, Knowability, and Names of God

from Foundations for the Christian Life · host Jonathan Wolters

This episode outlines a deep theological exploration into the Being, Knowability, and Names of God, specifically designed for advanced students and ministry leaders. The text navigates the tension of divine incomprehensibility, arguing that while human minds cannot exhaustively master God’s infinite essence, we can possess true and saving knowledge through His voluntary self-disclosure and covenant names. By distinguishing between archetypal knowledge—which belongs to God alone—and the ectypal knowledge granted to creatures, the curriculum provides a framework for speaking about the Divine using analogical language rather than reductionist terms. Ultimately, the source seeks to balance rigorous intellectual defense, such as classical proofs and historical reception, with the pastoral necessity of maintaining reverence and wonder in the face of the triune God.This podcast was created with the assistance of AI tools.
