Charles Telfer, Westminster’s soft-spoken language prof, is widely traveled both geographically and theologically. He began his spiritual journey as in the American mainline. From there, like a lot of other people, he moved on to Buddhism and thence to neo-Pentecostalism and finally arriving at confessional Reformed Christianity.  It seems that parallel to his intellectual travels Charles has been almost everywhere on the globe. In the episode Charles and I discuss his journeys and why he settled down with the Reformed confession and at Westminster Seminary California, and why it’s so important for seminary students and future ministers to learn to read God’s Word in the original languages.

Here is the episode.
