Peals of Thunder

Before we move on to the historical development of the papacy, we must answer the question: is the papacy biblical? In this episode, we answer by going over the main texts used by Roman Catholics to defend the Papacy. • Contact me at pealsofthunderministries@gmail.com • Follow on Instagram @pealsofthunder

On the longest episode yet of the Church History Series, we focus on Origen of Alexandria. The episode begins with his life, then moves on to his works and allegoric influence, and finally his controversial but at times brilliant theology. • Contact me at pealsofthunderministries@gmail.com • Follow on Instagram @pealsofthunder

This is the first episode of this small series on the Papacy. Keep in mind that this is not a series on Roman Catholicism as a whole, but only of the office of the Papacy. In this introductory episode, we go over the offices and titles of the Pope, and also see some symbols pertaining to the same. • Contact me at pealsofthunderministries@gmail.com • Follow on Instagram @pealsofthunder

This episode is about two very different church fathers. The father of Latin theology, Tertullian, hated all forms of Greek philosophy. Clement of Alexandria applied his love of philosophy everywhere, and could not possibly think higher of it. • Contact me at pealsofthunderministries@gmail.com • Follow on Instagram @pealsofthunder

Early Roman popes (or bishops) are not like a lot of people make them out to be. They were not authoritative, tyrannical popes from the Middle Ages. They were bishops, flawed, but not very pope-ish. • Contact me at pealsofthunderministries@gmail.com • Follow on Instagram @pealsofthunder
