What theological crisis in the 20th century led thousands of Reformed Christians to leave their denomination and start something new? In this episode, Dr. Cornelis Venema takes us inside the Christian Reformed Church in North America during a time when questions about biblical authority, confessional fidelity, and ordination standards came to a head. From faculty dismissals at Calvin Seminary in 1952 to heated debates over Genesis, evolution, and women's ordination, you’ll learn about the interconnected controversies that made it clear to many that a new direction was necessary. This is the foundational story behind the United Reformed Churches in North America.
