In this episode, Skyler interviews Dr. Kim Riddlebarger about his commentary First Corinthians. Kim takes us through some of the teachings of Paul in this epistle and how they inform a correct understanding of the Christian Faith. Along the way, we discuss LDS attempts at appropriating their own doctrines and practices from the Epistle - and whether those attempts are, in any way, credible.

A Rational Theology by John Widtsoe 

• Correction: I said "chapter 1" when describing Widtsoe starting with the Eternity of Chaotic Matter. It is actually chapter 3, however - it is page 9 (so, in my recollection, in/toward the beginning). It is the first substantive section following his chapter which outlines the basis of theology being in the Senses and Reason.
