Reformation and Counter-Reformation: Doctrines That Divided and Defined Christianity E2
Episode 13
Wednesday, 7 January, 2026
Join the show with a TEXT here!In the last episode of our mini‑series, we explored the Reformation’s competing ideas about who should read Scripture, what Scripture is, and whether it is clear in itself. We saw a sharp divide between the Protestant conviction that every Christian should read the Bible and the Eastern Orthodox position that, historically, often restricted access to it.Today we take the next step and dive into the question of the Canon—because whenever we talk about the authority of Scripture, we first have to know what counts as Scripture. We’ll examine why the Eastern Orthodox tradition has no unified or historically grounded way to account for its canon, even among its own theologians, while also looking at the Protestant canon, which has enjoyed consistent historical and theological support reaching back to the time of Moses.If you’re ready for a deep, source‑driven exploration, grab your Bible and strap in for the ride.
