In this episode of Christ the Center, Camden Bucey and Lane Tipton explore Geerhardus Vos’s profound treatment of faith in the Gospel of John (pp. 390–392 of Biblical Theology). Vos unfolds faith not as an abstract belief but as a living, continuous union with the incarnate and ascended Truth—Jesus Christ Himself. John’s theology binds faith and truth together: the Son comes down from heaven as the true light, true bread, true vine, and the Truth (John 1:9; 6:32; 15:1; 14:6). Faith, therefore, is a Spirit-wrought communion with the heavenly reality revealed in Him. Tipton and...

In this conversation from the Reformation and Worship Conference, Camden Bucey speaks with Dr. Jonathan Master, president of Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, about the unshakable relationship between doctrine and life. Drawing on J. Gresham Machen’s insight that Christianity for Paul was not only a life but also a doctrine—and logically, the doctrine came first, Master reminds us that Christianity is irreducibly doctrinal. Without doctrine, there is no gospel. They discuss Greenville’s pastoral training mission, the seminary’s remarkable 92% long-term ministry retention...

Dr. Bucey weaves together the themes of the previous lectures into one coherent narrative centered on Christ.

Dr. Bucey emphasizes that Christ’s incarnation, life, death, resurrection, and ascension constitute the...

Dr. Wynne explores how the vast portion of the Old Testament covering the monarchy and prophetic periods (approximately 417 chapters) points to Jesus Christ. Dr. Wynne first establishes the central, Christ-centered scope of all Scripture, affirming that everything in the Old Testament looks forward to and finds its fulfillment in Christ’s person and work, including his death and resurrection. The address then moves beyond viewing Christ merely as being prefigured in the Old Testament through “scale models” or “macro typology.” Instead, it seeks a deeper sense in which the pre-incarnate Christ’s power and heavenly kingdom principles were actively revealed through the history of Israel’s kings and prophets, positioning these figures and institutions as intrusions of heavenly glory mediated by Christ himself.
