Mere Fidelity: The Value of Controversy

September 19th, 2017 | 2 min read

By Matthew Lee Anderson

On this week's show, Alastair, Matt and Derek consider the nature, ethics, and benefits of theological controversies. We can neither confirm nor deny that recent events played a role in helping us choose this topic.

Next week's show will be a discussion of Book 1 of Augustine's Confessions. If you'd like to read along--which we encourage you to do--Henry Chadwick's translation is available widely at a reasonable price.

If you like the show, please do leave us a review on iTunes. We are also available on Google Play.

If you’re interested in supporting the show financially, you can check out our Patreon here.
