It was born out of the central conviction that the gospel is really good news, and I wanted to share that with as many people as possible. The channel has grown and changed over time, but that central conviction has never changed. Today, we make content around biblical and theological topics, often interacting with people from across the Christian tradition with the hope of seeking greater unity and introducing people to the beautiful simplicity and transformative power of the gospel, the good news about Jesus.Support the show

In this video, I'm joined by Dr. Matthew Thiessen, author of A Jewish Paul, and Associate Professor of Religious Studies at McMaster University, to discuss a growing movement in Pauline studies: interpreting Paul within Judaism, not as a convert to Christianity. In this video, we cover how this perspective came about, how it compares to the New Perspective and Lutheran Perspective, as well as what this means for how Christians should relate to the law today.

However, just as quick was his rise to prominence as his fall from grace. After dying in battle, many of his contemporaries distanced themselves from him, and despite being contemporary with Luther, he receives only a small fraction of the attention other Reformers do in current studies of the Reformation. Dr. Bruce Gordon, Titus Street Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Yale University, joins me in this episode to discuss the life and legacy of Ulrich Zwingli, which he outlines in more detail in his groundbreaking work God's Armed Prophet. Together, we explore the myriad ways Zwingli has been misunderstood, as well as why he continues to be a figure that defies easy characterization. Dr. Bruce Gordon's book: https://amzn.to/49BgI0LSupport Gospel Simplicity:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/gospelsimplicityOne Time Donation: https://www.paypal.me/gospelsimplicityMerch: https://shop.gospelsimplicity.comFollow Gospel Simplicity on Social Media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gospelsimplicityInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/gospelsimplicityAbout Gospel Simplicity:Gospel Simplicity began as a YouTube channel in a Moody Bible Institute dorm.

My name is Austin, and I'm a 24 year old guy who’s passionate about the beautiful simplicity and transformative power of the gospel. I believe that the gospel, the good news about Jesus, is really good news, and I’m out to explore, unpack, and share that good news with as many people as possible. I'm a full blown Bible and Church History nerd that loves getting to dialogue with others about this, learning as much as I can, and then teaching whatever I can. I grew up around Frederick, MD where I eventually ended up working my first job at a church. They made the mistake of letting me try my hand at teaching, and instantly I fell in love. That set me on a path for further education, and I'm currently a student at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, IL, studying theology. On any given day you can find me with my nose in a book or a guitar in my hands. Want to get to know me more?

But is there more to it than just muttering the same words over and over again? In this video, Keith Nester breaks down the mysteries of the Rosary and the spiritual fruit that accompany them. For me, this has totally changed how I see the Rosary, and it just might do the same for you, too.

But why? In this episode, I'm joined by Gary Michuta to discuss the Old Testament Canon, and specifically, why Catholics have seven more books in their Bibles than Protestants. Find Gary on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCO-lc_oipf900w6792AiywA Gary's book: https://amzn.to/44Yn8EASupport Gospel Simplicity:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/gospelsimplicityOne Time Donation: https://www.paypal.me/gospelsimplicityMerch: https://gospelsimplicity.creator-spring.comFollow Gospel Simplicity on Social Media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gospelsimplicityInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/gospelsimplicitySupport the show

Was it an organic process, finished by the mid-second century? Was it an ecclesial process, formalized at 4th century councils? Or was it a conspiracy of power hungry bishops seeking to quell rival Christianities (shoutout to Barth Ehrman)?IN this interview, Dr. Benjamin Laird gives us a deep dive on how the canon came to be. But he goes much deeper than usual conversations. We dive into first century writing practices to shed new light on questions ranging from intended audiences to "original manuscripts." Find his book: https://amzn.to/3rP8GQxSupport Gospel Simplicity:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/gospelsimplicityOne Time Donation: https://www.paypal.me/gospelsimplicityMerch: https://gospelsimplicity.creator-spring.comSupport the show
