Ep. 74: Theology Proper (Pt 9) Inseparable Operations w/ Dr. Adonis Vidu // Tasting Mr. Black Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur

Distilling Theology

The guys are joined this week by Dr. Adonis Vidu, a Professor Theology at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and the author of "The Same God Who Works All Things: Inseparable Operations in Trinitarian Theology." Justin and Blake sip Mr. Black Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur, while Dr. Vidu sips a tea as the trio deep dive into the discussion of this seemingly opaque, obtuse doctrine -- which proves to be exceedingly important to our understanding of the Gospel and extremely doxological in nature.
Thanks to Eerdman's Publishing Co, we've been provided with a copy of Dr. Vidu's book that we are giving away to one winner! Head over to www.DistillingTheology.com/Giveaway to enter for your opportunity to win a copy of his book as well as a Distilling Theology glencairn glass. Giveaway running now through next Friday, July 2nd. Winner announced on Tuesday, July 6th.
Next week, we'll be doing a reflective episode, considering all that we've studied and learned together about the doctrine of God and how it affects the rest of our theology. We'll be sipping a personal favorite of Blake's -- Talisker 10 year. You won't want to miss it!
