271. The Sacred Meal That Split the Reformers

What happens when three brilliant minds clash over the meaning of Christianity's most sacred meal? In this episode, Dr. Strange and host Jared Luttjeboer examine one of the Reformation's most heated theological debates: the Lord's Supper. From Rome's doctrine of transubstantiation to Luther's mysterious "in, with, and under," from Zwingli's memorial view to Calvin's real spiritual presence—discover how these competing interpretations shaped Protestant thought on the sacrament. As you listen, you’ll hear Dr. Strange comment on the surprising agreements hidden beneath fierce disagreements, learn why Luther accused Zwingli of rationalism while Zwingli fired back with charges of mysticism, and explore Calvin's ingenious solution that sought to honor both Christ's ascension and His real presence.

We'll be taking the month of July off, but join us again in August as we return with more of Dr. Strange and church history!
