Welcome to the thirty-fourth episode of "Through Theology in a Year" on the "Theology Unplugged" podcast. Today, we continue our exploration of essentials and non-essentials in the Christian faith, diving deep into the terminology and concepts that define this crucial aspect of epistemology.

In this session, we will:

Explore key terminologies related to essentials and non-essentials.

Share the story of Martin Luther and his stance on essential doctrines.

Discuss the consequences for those who do not prioritize essential doctrines, emphasizing the importance of making Christ the center of our faith.

Examine why scholars are often more irenic (peaceful and conciliatory) than pastors or popular speakers, and the impact this has on their influence.

Join us as we unpack these important topics and understand how they shape our Christian faith and practice. Make sure to catch up on previous episodes to fully grasp the ongoing series.
