In the Plodcast, pastor Douglas Wilson covers anything related to theology and culture with his usual entertaining style. Whether it involves talking about Chestertonian Calvinism (not an oxymoron), the benefits of a Classical Christian education (not in that order), or the latest pomosexuality farce, the plodcast aims to apply all of Christ to all of life, for all the world. Douglas Wilson is an evangelical, postmill, Calvinist, Reformed, and Presbyterian (pretty much in that order) and is politically to the right of Jeb Stuart.
In this episode, Douglas Wilson considers artificial intelligence as a modern speaking idol and discusses how to make distinctions between the useful and the demonic. Then he examines the New Testament word metraloas, or murderers of mothers, to underscore the weight and breadth of the fifth commandment in the Christian life. Finally, he reviews Bruce Gordon’s biography of John Calvin’s Institutes, tracing how that monumental work rose, declined, and was recovered across the centuries of church history.
