About this episode
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.
