Dead Presbyterians SocietyAuthor: Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary
This podcast is built on a very simple conviction: in order to be faithful in the present, we must be rooted in the past. The old paths of Presbyterianism in the 18th and 19th century have much to teach us about the path we walk today. In weekly 30 minute episodes, we will reflect on the lives and works of figures such as Archibald Alexander, B.M. Palmer, and Charles Hodge. We will consider enduring themesprayer, Christian experience, and the churchmatters of eternal significance for the people of God until Christ returns.
