The Bible in the Second Century
Manage episode 407295357 series 3561901
In this chapter, I talk about the spirituality of the Bible in the second century, looking mostly at a passage from St. Irenaeus of Lyons and a couple from St. Justin Martyr. I also look more broadly at how the Apostolic Fathers use Scripture throughout their writings.
This is, in part, a plug for my upcoming Ryle Seminary Course, Theology 1, which deals with divine revelation as one of its topics. You can learn more here: https://www.ryleseminary.ca/courses-programs-page#courses-fall-2023
