Response to Trent Horn on Purgatory
7 januari 2022 · 1 uur 1 min
In this video I respond to Trent Horn's response to my video on purgatory. I address (1) how Trent frames the discussion, (2) his distinction between the "core essence" and "secondary details" of purgatory, and then (3) the evidence from church history, particularly the church fathers, demonstrating that even the minimal conception of postmortem cleansing is not universal (or anywhere close to it) throughout church history.

Purgatory: A Protestant Perspective
7 december 2021 · 1 uur 17 min
Roman Catholic apologists often appeal to church history to support Catholic teaching concerning purgatory. Many Protestants are less familiar with church history on this question, and tend to focus on making biblical arguments. In this video I offer an overview of a Protestant perspective on purgatory, putting special focus on the development of this doctrine throughout church history. Lees meer

Get To Know Suan Sonna
28 november 2021 · 1 uur 11 min
Suan Sonna has become a friend of mine since our debate on the papacy at Capturing Christianity. He is a brilliant and kind young Catholic apologist. I found it fascinating to pick his brain about his life, faith, intellectual development, and theological insights. My favorite quote came from 53:32: "God is such a deep mystery, and it's a mystery that never stops giving." Beautiful!

The Waldensians: Forerunners of the Reformation
24 november 2021 · 22 min
People sometimes claim that Protestant views were new to the 16th century, but in fact there were many proto-Protestant groups throughout the medieval era that anticipated Protestant concerns. Here I give an overview of one such group, the Waldensians, followers of Peter Waldo (12th century). I cove a bit of their history and some of the persecutions they faced, and then a bit of their theology. Lees meer

Did Augustine Affirm Sola Scriptura?
24 november 2021 · 26 min
In this video I suggest that St. Augustine affirmed the essential content of the Protestant notion of sola Scriptura--that is, the view that the Bible alone is the infallible rule for Christian faith and practice. I first offer a plea not to caricature sola Scriptura, and then work through three passages in Augustine's writings. Finally, I point to similar support of sola Scriptura in John Chrysostom.

The Lord's Supper: A Reformed View
23 november 2021 · 20 min
The Lord's Supper (or the Eucharist) is one of the chief points of division among Christians of different church traditions. Protestants are often seen as having a lower view of the Lord's Supper, in contrast to the non-Protestant traditions. But historical Protestant views are more complicated. Here I offer an overview of a Reformed view of the Lord's Supper, drawing from five observations of Thomas Watson's helpful book on this topic. Lees meer
