Ep 1409 | I Never Questioned What I Believed Until It Started Falling Apart

Christian reflects on inherited ideas about salvation and the questions that arose when his beliefs didn’t match his life. The guys explore justification, sanctification, and glorification, and why salvation is more than simply getting into heaven. They also challenge caricatures of opposing traditions and consider how Catholics and Protestants can find common ground despite theological differences.

Today’s conversation is about Lesson 8 of Theology 101: The Western Theological Tradition taught by various Hillsdale Professors. Take the course with us at no cost to you!


More about Theology 101:


Examine the great questions of Western theology from the ancient Hebrews through today. The gift of speech, or reason, given by God to man, enables us to think about God and to worship Him.


This free online course pursues this purpose by examining the nature of God as revealed in the Bible, exploring the great theological questions and controversies of the early Christian church, studying the history of the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, and much more.


We invite you to join us and explore the nature of the relationship between God and man, and how a proper understanding of this relationship can lead to a free and happy life.
