    In which we nominally return to a discussion of Mary as "the New Eve," but end up arguing about covenants, historical theology and hermeneutics (the science of interpretation).

    Or How Sinister Papists Attempt (and Fail) to Score "Bible Points" through Jesuitical Thinking. A discussion of Brant Pitre's Jesus and the Jewish Roots of Mary. In which allegory and typology are defined, compared and contrasted (from both Presbyterian and Roman Catholic perspectives) along with the natures and person of Christ before digressions somehow bring us to the formation of the Biblical canon. What defines Christian doctrine? --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

    NWB #11: On extracatholic & extra catholic doctrines

    In which Gear pretends the microphone is not on and Kingsbury sings in French. Universalism and agnosticism are toyed with. Perhaps drinking was not the best idea. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

    NWB #10: On Christian doctrine– the necessary vs. the optional

    In which Kingsbury takes offense while Gear explains what he finds attractive about presbyterian iconoclasm before attacking it, and digressions finally take over from the alleged topic. Why does the Roman Catholic Church define so many doctrines? Should we lower our expectations? And is there really a presbyterian doctrine of happiness?

    Gear has another beer, which fact is probably no longer remarkable enough to be worthy of a remark. Perhaps the drinking becomes evident with the introduction after the break, but perhaps not. The race card is (finally) pulled, but the heart of the matter may be missed.

    Gear has another beer whilst exhibiting confusion regarding his past beverage choices. The roles of typology and allegory in defining doctrine are debated and their definitions are disputed. A positive protestant view of Mary is offered. A need to resolve more preliminary matters is revealed. The presbyterian engages in much gnashing of teeth. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 22, 2020 82:42


    In which gifts are given, Gear denies having had a beer on a previous occasion, sleigh bells are imitated, and relative deepness in history is disputed. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

    NWB #6: On fundamentalisms

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 16, 2020 71:01


    In which Gear returns to whisky, bags of doctrine are compared, and McGuinness asks a question to which he may not want an answer. Discussion of matters about which we are entirely (as opposed to mostly) ignorant is narrowly avoided. Is protestantism inherently fundamentalist? Is it possible to be a Roman Catholic fundamentalist? --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
