Welcome to episode 35 of "Through Theology in a Year." This episode explores the historical patterns of sectarian divisions and the rise of institutional fundamentalism and Evangelicalism within the church.

We discuss:

-The Hasidim, Pharisees, and Sadducees

-Early church creeds and the Reformation

-The impact of the Enlightenment and the rise of liberalism and fundamentalism

-The development of modern evangelicalism

Then we reflect on these cycles and consider the church's future direction.

We would love to see your comments and for you to give us suggestions!
