#181 - A Peek at Piper

This discussion with the pastor of New Braunfels Bible Church in Texas, Phil Congdon, will help you understand the theology of John Piper. Piper is pastor emeritus of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, and a popular and prolific writer and speaker. He has influenced many with his views that come from a Calvinistic theology. But is that good? Piper’s views on assurance of salvation can be confusing, and when understood, crippling to the conscientious Christian. Phil has read Piper extensively, analytically, and critically, and you will benefit from his insights. Phil is the author of The Church in the World: Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians, a Commentary. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=the+church+in+the+world+congdon&crid=LV5XZV16J1MB&sprefix=the+church+in+the+world+congdon%2Caps%2C141&ref=nb_sb_noss

He has also contributed to Living by Grace. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=living+by+grace+bing+congdon&crid=30HR00IMTI50A&sprefix=living+by+grace+bing+congdon%2Caps%2C101&ref=nb_sb_noss
