Christ the Center Interview with Peter Lillback

Posted by Nicholas T. Batzig on November 28th, 2008
We recently had the opportunity to talk with Dr. Peter Lillback, President of Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, about his doctoral dissertation, The Binding of God: Calvin’s Role in the Development of Covenant Theology. Dr. Lillback has contributed numerous articles to various publications and journals, and is the author of George Washington’s Sacred Fire and Wall of Misconception. He has set out to offer an objective reading of John Calvin in regard to his view of “covenant” and the role that it plays in theology. The Binding of God is a significant contribution to the understanding of the covenant concept in church history.You can listen to the interview here.
