Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.
Welcome to the Retrieval Podcast where we're retrieving the Church of the past for the Church of today.
Hosted by Andy Nichols, professor of Church History and Historical Theology at Ozark Christian College and Lincoln Seminary, and co-hosted and produced by Ben Jones, associate pastor at Gateway Christian Church, we explore the teachings of the ancient church, talking about how they can help us better love Jesus today.
Today we dive into how the Church fathers engaged scripture and ask ourselves if there's anything we can learn from them. We talk about how we engage scripture today - through the historical/grammatical method - and then ask if reading scripture allegorically can be helpful for our faith.
