Theology in Particular

In Episode 107 of Theology In Particular, I'm joined by Dr. Tom Hicks to discuss the doctrine of justification. Martin Luther famously said, "if this article stands, the church stands; if this article collapses, the church collapses." And sadly, this article has often been challenged and distorted in the history of the church even up to this present day. Here you will find a brief but clear articulation and defense of this biblical doctrine which is central to the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

In Episode 106 of Theology In Particular, Dr. Jeffery Riddle returns to talk about the Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. In our conversation, we address questions about the authorship, audience, date of composition, Canonical order, and the number of the Gospels. I think our listeners will find this conversation interesting and encouraging.

In Episode 105 of Theology In Particular, Dr. Jason Montgomery returns to continue our series on the Patristic Era. In episode 97, Dr. Montgomery provided us with an introduction to this important era in church history. In this episode, he draws attention to the impulse of the early church to formulate creeds and explains where this impulse comes from. The listener should know that Dr. Montgomery and I have decided to use a book entitled, The Story of Creeds and Confessions: Tracing the Development of the Christian Faith, as a kind of outline for this series.
