On the Nature and Kingdom of God w/ Harrison Perkins

"This episode of the Westminster Podcast features Harrison Perkins in conversation with Nate Shannon, exploring Perkins’ scholarly work on James Ussher and a newly released volume of his previously unpublished theological manuscripts. The discussion traces Perkins’ journey into church history and highlights Ussher’s significance as a Reformed theologian deeply engaged in preaching, catechesis, and historical polemics against Rome, particularly in the context of the Reformation in Ireland. Drawing from newly translated archival sources, Perkins presents Ussher as a model of doctrinal clarity and pastoral faithfulness, demonstrating how consistent theological commitments shaped his ministry across diverse and turbulent contexts, including the English Civil War.

The episode underscores the enduring importance of doctrinal preaching, the integration of theology and pastoral ministry, and the value of recovering historical voices like Ussher for the life of the modern church." from the video introduction
