‘God of All Things,’ with Andrew Wilson

Andrew becomes a guest on his own show to discuss his new book, 'God of All Things.'

Mere Fidelity’s own Andrew Wilson (teaching pastor at King’s Church London) has written a stunning book: God of All Things, which is devotional in nature, but premised on theologically examining things as … Things. So in this episode Andrew gets to be both guest and host as he converses with the other hosts, Alastair, Derek, and Matt. Since you deal with things every day, you will definitely get something valuable out of this conversation.

The Book of the Month is Baptism: A Guide to Life from Death by Peter J. Leithart. It is part of the Christian Essentials Series. Leithart reunifies a church divided by baptism. He recovers the baptismal imagination of the Bible, explaining how baptism works according to Scripture. Then, in conversation with Christian tradition, he shows why baptism is something worth recovering and worth agreeing on. For the month of March 2021, Mere Fidelity listeners will get a 40% discount on their purchase of this volume with the code MEREFIDELITYMAR21 at checkout.
