July 18, 2023 "A Question Protestants Can't Answer?" My Response to Brian Holdsworth
In this video I respond to Brian Holdsworth on "A Question Protestants
Can't Answer." At the core of the gospel is the glorious truth that
Jesus' death on the cross is a substitutionary atonement that enables
God to be both just and forgiving.

June 05, 2023 Protestant-Orthodox Relationship: The Moment That Defined It
In this video I draw three lessons for ecumenical theology from an important but often overlooked dialogue in the 1570s and 1580s between
Lutheran theologians and Jeremiah II, Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople. In particular, I suggest that the dialogue clarifies two different approaches to catholicity.
