Doth Protest

The Bible in the Early Church (with Gerald Bray)


Listen Later

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.
