An Interview with Phil Ryken on King Solomon

I recently sat down with Wheaton College President Philip Graham Ryken to talk about his new book, King Solomon: The Temptations of Money, Sex, and Power. Paul Tripp offers a nice summary of the book: "With the skill of a theologian and the heart of a pastor, Ryken takes you from the demise of one king to the victory of the King of kings. Read and you'll find more than the story of Solomon; you'll find the gospel in beautiful and powerful relief."

You can watch the 13-minute video below, followed by some time stamps of the questions (provided by the Crossway blog):

How could Solomon be such a wise man and make so many foolish mistakes? (1:40)
How are the lessons you learn from Solomon coming into play in both your role as a pastor and now as a college president? How are those roles different? (3:18)
How do you make the connection between the historical person of Solomon and the life of Jesus Christ? (5:06)
"The king is dead, long live the king." (8:05)
Do you believe that Solomon ended up in heaven or hell?  (11:17)
