Doth Protest episodes

July 20, 2024 The Bible in the Early Church (with Gerald Bray)
Andrew and James were blessed to be joined by church historian Gerald Bray. In this episode, Dr. Bray discusses his studies of the early church father Tertullian, how we got the Christian Bible, and how people in the early church read, received, and interpreted the Bible. Tune in for a fascinating conversation.

Dr. Gerald Bray is research professor of divinity at Beeson Divinity School and distinguished professor of historical theology at Knox Theological Seminary. He is the author of many works, two of which we especially discuss in this episode:
-Holiness and the Will of God: Perspectives on the Theology of Tertullian
-How the Church Fathers Read the Bible: A Short Introduction

Shownotes:
-- The term from C.S. Lewis that Andrew could not think of in the moment was Chronological Snobbery
-- The exact quote from JC Ryle (that Andrew also could not think of in the moment): "Let us never be surprised at the wickedness there is in the world. Let us mourn over it, and labor to make it less so, but let us never be surprised at its extent." from JC Ryle's commentary on Matthew.

July 12, 2024 Response to John Martignoni's A Blue Collar Answer to Protestantism
Doth Protest hosts Andrew and James along with friend of the show Connor Longaphie of Transcendent Truth Media attempt to answer some of the questions that popular Roman Catholic apologist says are questions that "Protestants can't answer" in his book A Blue Collar Answer to Protestantism: Catholic Questions Protestants Can't Answer. But more importantly, we address why cheap polemics and logical fallacies, be they Catholic, Protestant, or whatever, never make for good theology.

May 11, 2024 An Anglican and Reformed Baptist Conversation (Crossover Episode w/ Theocast)
James and Andrew were delighted to be joined by Jon Moffit and Justin Perdue from the podcast Theocast. In this episode, we get into:

1) What distinguishes a Reformed Baptist from most typical Baptists in North America (which is rather similar to what distinguishes Anglicans like Andrew and James from many Anglicans in North America)
2) Discussing the 'better way': an alternative out of dead-orthodoxy and pietism
3) The differences between Anglicans and Reformed Baptists on Baptism
Theocast's ministry and primary focus is to "encourage weary pilgrims to rest in Christ". Jon and Justin are both Baptists from a classical Reformed perspective. James and Andrew enjoyed this conversation as it highlighted much more of what unites us in Christ rather than what separates us in secondary matters. God Bless
