Videos from the THINK Conference on the Future of Complementarity
A couple of months ago, I spoke at the THINK Conference on the Future of Complementarity, along with Andrew Wilson and Hannah Anderson. It was a wonderful few days of Christian fellowship, stimulating conversation, and shared worship. I thoroughly appreciated the change to meet both Andrew and Hannah for the second times; they have been such great friends and interlocutors (and in Andrew’s case a co-author!) for me online and it is always great to bring such friendships into the concreteness of the physical world. I also enjoyed the chance to make many new friends over the course of the conference.
All of the videos of the main sessions have been published now. We all prepared our talks independently and didn’t hear what each other had to say until the day itself. In my talks I am sharing my own judgment of matters, not necessarily viewpoints that are shared by the other participants. The same is true of Hannah and Andrew’s talks. Also, either Hannah’s or my talks can be taken by themselves, or alongside the other’s. The videos of the talks are posted in order below. I delivered the third, fifth, and seventh.
Enjoy!

What Is Meant By Calling Marriage A Natural Institution?
If marriage is a pre-political institution then none of the measures laid down by the state (e.g. registration, marriage certificates etc.) make a marriage legitimate in God’s eyes. In which case, what does constitute a legitimate marriage in God’s eyes? One answer I’ve been given, based on Genesis 1-2, is something along the lines of: a man and a woman who make promises to each other before God and some witnesses. What are you thoughts on this, and which passage(s) would you use to make your case?

A Biblical Theology of the Household
The following video is an answer to a Curious Cat question, an over-ambitious attempt to answer a huge question that deserves detailed analysis off the top of my head. Continue to leave your questions in the comments on this blog, over on Curious Cat, or you can email me if you have my address.
