[Last week’s inaugural episode](https://mereorthodoxy.com/conversation-capital-punishment-old-testament/) of “Casting Across the Pond” was so successful that Derek, Alastair, and Andrew turned around and did one again.

Two business items: first, we’re open to changing the name, if anyone has a better. Put your suggestions in the comments below. Second, many of you requested the ability to download them. That’s now enabled for both episodes: sorry for missing it the first time around!

This week’s conversation launches off from [Zach Hunt’s open letter](http://theamericanjesus.net/?p=12190&ref=mereorthodoxy.com) to John Calvin and [Fred Sanders’s post at Scriptorium Daily](http://scriptoriumdaily.com/fight-calvinists/?ref=mereorthodoxy.com).

As always, follow [Derek](https://twitter.com/DZRishmawy?ref=mereorthodoxy.com), [Alastair](http://www.twitter.com/zugzwanged?ref=mereorthodoxy.com), and [Andrew](https://twitter.com/AJWTheology?ref=mereorthodoxy.com) for smart thoughts on this and much more.
