Part 2 - Scots Confession, History & Theology
Tuesday Dec 22, 2020
Tuesday Dec 22, 2020
This is Part 2 in a series of adult education (Sunday School) classes that I taught at St. Charles Presbyterian Church (USA) in the early months of 2020. It provides a fairly thorough discussion of the Scots Confession's history and theology targeted (hopefully, effectively so) at the generally educated churchgoer. Part 2 gets into the background of the Scots Confession. It surveys the state of the late medieval Christian Church as well as a number of reform movements (Francis of Assisi, Wycliffe, Hus, etc.) and gives a brief overview of Martin Luther's reformation and theology. It also explores chapters 6 - 10 in the confession itself, addressing topics like the incarnation, election, christology, atonement / salvation, and the creedal descent into hell.
This is Part 2 in a 5-part series. You can find the series index here. Click here for the blog post corresponding to this episode, and click here to access this content on YouTube.

This content is also available in video, if you prefer.
If you'd like to learn more about the Reformation, there's lots of material waiting for you at at DET (the theology blog that I run).

This is my interview with Rev. Kate Hanch about Julian of Norwich. We discuss Dame Julian's sociohistorical context, her doctrine of the Trinity, the metaphors that she uses for God and for Jesus, what texts you should read to get to know her better, and more. We also talk a little about what it means to be a Cooperative Baptist.Follow Kate on Twitter: @KateHanch
