Episode notes
Carl Trueman's Intellectual Historian Role
- Carl Trueman shares relief at speaking on classical theology instead of gender identity topics.
- He offers reflections as an intellectual historian, not formally trained theologian.
Modern Culture's Anti-Historical Bias
- Modern culture tends to be anti-historical, affecting both general society and Christianity.
- This results in impatience with traditional liturgies and an undervaluing of historical Christian faith expressions.
Religious Freedom's Ecclesiastical Effect
- Religious freedom can unintentionally diminish ecclesiastical authority by emphasizing individual choice.
- This causes church discipline and authority to struggle in modern Protestantism.
