Church Fathers (61)
  1. God Has No Skin in The Game? In this episode, we discuss Tertullian’s argument against Marcion about God’s being born flesh and blood in his treatise, On The Flesh of Christ. What’s at stake when well-meaning Christians disembody God and, consequently, Christians?
  2. The Stuff That Heresies Are Made Of. In this episode, we discuss Ireneaus’ attack on the Marcionite and Gnostic heresies, which sought to divide Christ’s two natures, and the ramifications of this teaching for the churches today.
  3. Blind Faith Is Worthless Unless It’s Blind Faith in Us. In this episode, we discuss Augustine’s Confessions, specifically Augustine’s reflection on the Manichaeans and the effect God’s Word had on his conversion to Christianity.
  4. Good, we tend to think, is the absence of evil. But this reversal of the formula can only have disastrous consequences.
  5. Gregory is a bridge between the patristic age and the medieval.
  6. Cyril’s fervor for pure explication of the gospel was present throughout his career.
  7. We cannot overstate that no person outside the Bible has been as influential to Christian theology as Augustine.
  8. Origen is wrong about stuff, but he had the foresight to say that if he was wrong, he was open to correction.
  9. You will not be disappointed in this Champion of the Incarnation.
  10. In writing City of God, Augustine sought to demonstrate that the events of 410 were but a glimpse of all history.
  11. This spiritual giant of the Middle Ages is worth considering on this anniversary of his death.
  12. Truly wondrous is the whole chronicle of the Nativity. For this day the ancient slavery is ended, the power of death is broken, paradise is unlocked, the curse is taken away, sin is removed from us, error-driven out, and truth has been brought back.
