What happens when two theological giants who love Jesus have a FIERY public fallout? đĽ The forgotten conflict between Puritans John Owen and Richard Baxter holds a sobering lesson for today.
In this episode of Remnant Radio, we sit down with Dr. Tim Cooper, a leading scholar on 17th-century Puritanism, to unpack the intense disagreement between Owen and Baxterâtwo titans of the post-Reformation era. Despite their shared love for Christ, Scripture, and the Gospel, their clash over salvation, church structure, and Christian ethics led to a public split that fractured the Puritan movement. Their story shows us how pride, personality, and past wounds can tragically impact even important theological debates.
But this isnât just fascinating history! This episode is a direct challenge to todayâs church. As theological disputes rage online and in person, the OwenâBaxter conflict raises urgent questions for us:
-How should believers navigate public disagreement biblically?
-When does contending for truth accidentally lead to unnecessary division?
-What kind of Christ-like character must accompany our doctrine?
If youâve ever wrestled with how to hold strong convictions while still loving others and avoiding toxic conflict, this conversation is for you.Â
