A History of Christian Theology

In this short episode, we respond to two questions from our listeners. Please write in any comments you have on our Facebook page at Facebook.com/ahistoryofchristiantheology.

We spend a good deal of time this week look at Athansius unique view of the atonement which is known as deification or theosis. In the episode, we compare his views to those of the John Calvin, Martin Luther and Anselm of Cantebury, who have all made significant contributions to the idea of justification, which most of our audience will be familiar with. Although the view of deification is not unheard of in the West, it is primarily known as the view of the Eastern Orthodox Church. Please stick around for this great discussion. Also, it would really help us out if you would rate us and review us on iTunes. Just search for A History of Christian Theology, pull up our podcast and give us a quick click for how you like the podcast. Also, we’ve had questions slowly trickling in and will continue to air our responses to those questions. Now on to Athanasius.

Tom, Trevor and Chad ended up discussing our first question from a listener for nearly 20 minutes. So, we decided to upload it as a single podcast episode. We will be responding to the next two questions when we record this week. They should be up some time next week, probably with the next podcast. Thanks for listening.

In this episode we turn from academic debates to the life of prayer. Athanasius tell the story of the father of desert monasticism in Antony. Please review us on iTunes and put a comment on our Facebook page if you have questions at www.facebook.com/ahistoryofchristiantheology

Today's podcast is many ways an unintended imitation of the first council of the Church the Council of Nicaea in 325. We invite Benjamin Brandon on to discuss this critical council in the life of the Church and Christian theology. Please check out our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ahistoryofchristiantheology. Also, please like us an review us on iTunes.

Chad, Tom and Trevor invite their friend Ben back on the podcast to discuss the political theology of Eusebius of Caesarea and the first Christian emperor of Rome, Constantine the Great. Please check out our Facebook page at www.Facebook.com/ahistoryofchristiantheology. We would love to hear from you!

Just for a bit of fun, I uploaded this short digression on pronunciation. We will have a full length episode either later today or tomorrow.

In this episode, Ben, Trevor and I discuss Eusebius view of politics and history. We compare it to St. Augustine's views in the City of God. Please check out our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ahistoryofchristiantheology. Tom will be back next week with Tom Velasco.

Chad and Trevor discuss the idea of what should be included in the Canon. In addition, they discuss a lesser known doctrine to Protestants, the deposit of faith given to Peter.

We are back after a several week hiatus. This episode was lost in my computer for a few weeks, but I wanted to get it out there. We should be recording again soon. In this podcast, we discuss the intersection of theology and history among other theological issues presented in Book 1.
