This week Pastor Wilson talks about how we should think about tariffs. He also talks about Peter Leithart’s wonderful book, “From Silence to Song”, calling this small book a “treasure trove”. Pastor Wilson finishes things off with a look at the word apaideutos. Happy plodding!
Show Notes:
So What Do We Think About Tariffs:
- President Trump thinks tariffs are great and something we should be doing more of
- Trump is not levying tariffs, he is threatening to levy tariffs in order to get concessions
- Threatening tariffs can lead to an increase in free trade
From Silence to Song:
- Wonderful book written by Peter J. Leithart
- This book is about the tabernacle of David
- In the tabernacle of the wilderness there is no record of music being a part of worship
- But David introduces music into the equation
- Leithart also shows that the tabernacle of David was very attractive to Gentiles
- For those who love Biblical theology, this small book is a treasure trove
Apaideutos:
- Rendered as unlearned
- Found in 2 Tim. 2:23
- In Prufrock, T.S. Eliot warns us against “tedious arguments”
- The apostle Paul was aware of them also
- The servant of the Lord must not get dragged into stupid and unprofitable quarrels
