Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley take a break in their journey through Exodus to spotlight some major questions, discussions, and works in church history.
Questions Covered in This Episode:
- What is the value of reading across church history?
- What is the relationship between the testimony of scripture and the testimony of the church’s historic witness (i.e. tradition)?
- Who are some of the widely agreed upon significant names/thinkers to be familiar with throughout the history of the church?
Helpful Definitions:
- Tradition 0: No creed but the Bible or Solo Scriptura: Scripture alone.
- Tradition 1 (One-Source): The Bible alone is authoritative but we need tradition to come alongside to help us become better readers or Sola scriptura: By Scripture alone.
- Tradition 2 (Two Sources): Tradition is as authoritative as scripture.
- Filioque Clause: What does it mean for the Father and Son to send the Holy Spirit.
