Our Favorite Theologians #4

Charlie was a bit "hipster" with the last theologian here, who is obscure for most people (unless you went to Concordia-Seward), but all four of the theologians discussed for this fourth and final installment of our Theologians Series have interesting stories, strong personalities, and thoughtful theologies. James discussed Gerhard Forde, Andrew discussed Karl Barth, and Charlie discussed Kurt Marquart and David P. Meyer. 

Shownotes:

-The book from Marquart mentioned by Charlie is Anatomy of an explosion: A theological analysis of the Missouri Synod conflict A digitized copy of it can be read at archive.org

-Many of Marquart's articles and talks can be accessed here.

The books from Gerhard Forde discussed were:
