1. In this episode, Paulson helps listeners envision Luther's idea that the preacher is a "long-bowman" taking aim at the heart.

  3. Dr. Paulson explores another violent metaphor from Luther, the arrow of conviction.
  4. Gatekeepers & Madmen. We read and discuss two parables, by Franz Kafka and Friedrich Nietzsche. What happens when people don’t have a preacher sent by the Holy Spirit to declare forgiveness? Without the Gospel, where does the law end?

  7. In the Lord's Supper we receive an enormous gift. Why make it more complicated than what Jesus says?
  8. What happens when the knowledge of the Law doesn't bring power?

  12. Two Books, One Condescending God. In this episode, we discuss the exegesis of Johann Hamann. What are the implications for Christians when God’s Spirit and Word translate us into the church and the world?
