Showing results for "The Canon" in Ministry & Evangelism

What different kinds of books are in the New Testament? When, how, and why were they written? And why did some books, and not others, come to be collected into what Christians came to consider the canon of scripture that would define their belief for all time? With these 12 lectures, get a fast-moving yet thorough introduction to these and other key issues in the development of Christianity.

Based on a Bible Reading Plan that shows how Bible passages connect to and interpret each other.

Who are you when the teeth come out? For every true act of leadership, there is an equal and monstrous act of sabotage. Our leaders have been entirely routed by the agitated and the anxious. These emotional tyrannies manifest themselves in local libraries, HR cubicles, elder meetings, and at your Thanksgiving dinners.

Some questions about the New Testament canon are far from settled, either in the academy or the church—to say nothing of misconceptions and confusion. This is a crucial topic, given the importance of the canon's formation for our understanding of early Christianity and the nature of the Christian faith itself. In Creating the Canon, Benjamin P. Laird explores misunderstood, disputed, and overlooked matters tied to the composition, collection, and authority of the New Testament canon.

“Welcome to Canons and Confessions. Here you will find audio recordings of three classical theological documents: the Heidelberg catechism, the Canons of Dort and the Belgic Confession, often referred to as the three forms of unity within the Christian Reformed Church in North America. These recordings are to make it easier for you to study theology, and God’s word, asking and receiving answers to timeless questions. Every recording is of an individual Lord’s day, which includes several related questions and answers.

Did the New Testament canon arise naturally from within the early Christian faith? Were the books written as Scripture, or did they become Scripture? Why did early Christians have a canon at all? These are the types of questions that led Michael J. Kruger to pick apart modern scholarship's dominant view that the New Testament is a late creation of the church imposed on books originally written for another purpose. 

This channel, “Crash Canon”, is hosted by a Catholic named Chris. It is intended to be a place for discussions about the faith as well as a channel to help educate people about various subjects related to the faith.

Every day, you can receive the audio recording of one article from the Canons of Dort, using the translation published by CRC Publications in 1988. This is a great way to learn the truths expressed in this Reformation document, or to work on memorizing these articles focused on the Doctrines of Grace. We also hope this can be a tool to help introduce children to the Canons of Dort and to help instruct them in these biblical doctrines.

Best Selling Author N. D. Wilson and Editor Brian Kohl host the Stories Are Soul Food podcast! The podcast that helps feed the right kind of loyalties and shape affection for the first and the greatest Author, Jesus Christ.

The point of this podcast is pretty broad — “All of Christ for all of life.” In order to make that happen, we need “theology that bites back.” I want to advance what you might call a Chestertonian Calvinism, and to bring that attitude to bear on education, sex and culture, theology, politics, book reviews, postmodernism, expository studies, along with other random tidbits that come into my head. My perspective is usually not hard to discern. In theology I am an evangelical, postmill, Calvinist, Reformed, and Presbyterian, pretty much in that order. In politics, I am slightly to the ...

In the Plodcast, pastor Douglas Wilson covers anything related to theology and culture with his usual entertaining style. Whether it involves talking about Chestertonian Calvinism (not an oxymoron), the benefits of a Classical Christian education (not in that order), or the latest pomosexuality farce, the plodcast aims to apply all of Christ to all of life, for all the world. Douglas Wilson is an evangelical, postmill, Calvinist, Reformed, and Presbyterian (pretty much in that order) and is politically to the right of Jeb Stuart.

The New Testament is the second major division of the Bible, the Word of God. It deals primarily with the spread of Christianity around the world. How did this part of the Bible come to be written and how should we interpret it? Dr. David Williams, associate professor and chair of the Department of Theology at Belmont Abbey College in Charlotte, North Carolina, explores these questions, and many like them.

Welcome to Beyond the Spire, a podcast of the Save Our Sacred Songs project at the Catholic Shrine of St Walburge in Preston, supported by the National Lottery. In each episode, we go beyond what you see from the street, we explore the story and the sound of Gregorian chant, the Church's sacred song, so that this treasure of faith and culture is not just preserved, but lived and loved again.

Biblical and orthodox Christianity taught with clarity and without apology. Although we come from the Anglican Tradition, all Bible-believing Christians will benefit from these wonderful sermons.

Modern women - who use psychotherapeutic antidepressants at a rate never before seen in history - need liberating now more than ever. The truth is, feminists don't know what liberation is. They have led us into a very boring dead end. Once those fictionalized stereotypes are out of the way - whether they're things that make you gag or things you think look pretty fun - Christians can focus on real women. What did God make real women for?

Theologically Speaking is a multi-part series hosted by The Rev. Canon Ian Elliot Davies and Vestry member Kyle Leon Henderson. The podcast is a casual but fascinating conversation about the history and meaning behind theology and how it applies to our everyday lives.
