- Dr. Michael Beck joins us to speak about his book, Covenant Lord and Cultic Boundary: A Dialectic Inquiry Concerning Meredith Kline and the Reformed Two-Kingdom Project (Wipf and Stock), which is a theological exploration of the ideas of Meredith Kline and their impact on the Reformed Two-Kingdom Project.
The book provides a literature review of relevant works on the topic and highlights the broader universe of discourse in which this study exists. In the book and in this conversation, Dr. Beck offers a unique analysis of Kline’s theology and its practical implications for contemporary Christian life and practice.
Michael Beck is a pastor at Gracenet Community Church as well as a lecturer of Old Testament and biblical theology at Grace Theological College (New Zealand). Dr. Beck earned his PhD from the South African Theological Seminary Michael also co-hosts the Two-Age Sojourner podcast.

I can't wait to get started reading Kline!

Since this appears to be an introduction to Meredith Kline, it seems to me that a little background about who Kline was, when did he lived, what issues were applying pressure upon him, and other historical elements that help to clarify and add context to the man's writings.
You made it Michael. The Pinnacle of Reform podcast.
😆
What a fruitful abd engaging conversation. I first heard Michael Beck during a podcast with the guys from The Pactum, so I was delighted to see you interview him. I guess he's made the "big leagues." 😉
Very helpful discussion as someone who’s embraced Klines structures of covenant theology and have heard the backlash of it lol .
Kline reading list? (From most introductory/basic to advanced)
Interview more Reformed Baptists!
The problem of having Covenant Theology as a framework to approach these broader culture discussions is the presuppositions that are necessary for CT system. In particular the tripartite nature of the law, it's not there. Sola Scriptura - show me the verse.
Sola Scriptura is not Solo Scriptura (aka biblicism)
