0174 - Providence and the Protestant Canon of Scripture pt 1   What is the relationship between Providence and the Canon? In today’s episode, I talk about recent arguments in favor of the idea that God positively willed Christians to accept the 66-book Protestant canon of Scripture. This question came up in a recent video I was watching where two Protestant scholars were discussing various views about the canon within the Christian world.   These claims about divine Providence and the Protestant canon of Scripture harkened back to a statement I read in a popular systematic theology penned some time ago. Therein a popular Baptist scholar argued that all Protestant Christians should have confidence in their 66-book canon of Scripture for a variety of theological, historical and experiential reasons.   In this episode, I briefly address the various reasons forwarded in favor of the idea that God positively willed Christians to accept the 66-book Protestant canon of Scripture. Therein, I devote the majority of my attention to addressing the question of the historicity of the 66-book Protestant canon. I briefly discuss the acceptance of a Jewish listing of the Old Testament book in the fourth century by Christian leaders in the Roman East. The use of these leaders as a testimony to the Protestant canon, I argue, is problematic because their theory differs radically from their actual practice. On the one hand, these fourth-century leaders did indeed provide a list of scriptural books that came very close to purported Jewish canons of the period. But on the other hand, in their actual practice these fourth-century Christian leaders quoted from the Deuterocanonical books as scriptural, even though they did not include these books on their formal canonical lists.   In the end, we conclude that it is of utmost necessity for Christians to rely primarily on the authority the historical church of early Christianity and the Middle Ages in order to determine with certainty what exactly the canon of Scripture is. Criteria such as Providence, I argue, cannot be used as a reliable guide to determine that identity of the canonical books.   To forward this argument, I note, among other things, many Christians of the early church and Middle Ages did in fact regard books rejected from the 66-book Protestant canon not only as scriptural but even as canonical. In view of this complex history of the reception of the books of Scripture, the Providence criterion makes it virtually impossible to determine with certainty which books ought to be included in the canon of Scripture accepted by Christians.   Join us today as we talk about the question of Providence and the canon of Scripture.

173: What Does the Term Deuterocanonical Mean? - CHS 173   There is some confusion today in certain Protestant circles as to what exactly the term “deuterocanonical” (i.e., pertaining to the second canon) means to Catholics. This question came up in a recently video I was watching where two Protestant scholars were discussing various views about the canon within the Christian world.   One of the Protestant scholars stated that Catholicism relegates the deuterocanonical books (i.e., 7 books accepted by Catholics among the canonical books not—i.e., 1-2 Maccabees, Judith, Tobit etc.) to a second class. The scholar asked whether Catholics believed that the deuterocanonical books were produced as a result of a second level of inspiration of sorts.   In this episode we briefly discuss what the term originally meant when it was coined by the sixteenth-century biblical scholar Sisto di Siena OP and why that meaning is still important for Catholics today.   We also discuss how Catholic ecumenical councils such as Trent, Vatican I and Vatican II have understood the inspiration and authority of the deuterocanonical books. We note that each of these councils did not demean the inspiration or authority of the deuterocanonical books but rather regardem them as possessing equal authority with the proto-canonical books (n.b., more on that term in the episode).   In the end, we conclude that it is of utmost importance for Catholics to know their history. History is often the key to answering such objections. Oftentimes, claims such as the ones noted above go unchallenged because the records of Catholic tradition are not well known.   Careful attention to the history, however, can better help Catholic Christians engage in dialogue with other members of Christian communities. With historical records better known, we can all get a better sense of why such terms as “deuterocanonical” were coined in the first place and what they have meant to Catholics since.   Join us today as we talk about the of the history of the term “deuterocanonical.” To access the show, download our free app on the iOS or Android stores.

172: The Council of Rome (382) and the Canon of Scripture   Was the Council of Rome the first local council to produce a listing of canonical books? In this episode we briefly discuss this question of the Council of Rome’s role in the production of the canonical list.   In various histories of the canon and the translations of ancient Church documents, the Council of Rome has at times been identified as one of the first local councils to ever produce a listing of canonical books. This council was said to have been gathered under the leadership of Pope Damasus (r. 366-384).   But did Pope Damasus and the Council of Rome (382) really issue the first authoritative list of canonical books? In this episode we address this historical question by looking at the evidence of the manuscripts and the testimonies of late fourth and early fifth-century Catholic authors.   Although we do not believe that the evidence supports the idea that the Council of Rome was the first local council to produce a list of canonical books, we reiterate our long-standing argument that the history surrounding this council and others like it points to much larger considerations of the Church authority in creating the canon of Scripture. We argue in the end that the vaious other local councils which took place at the close of the fourth and the early decades of the fifth reflect an acute awareness among Catholic bishops of that period that the decisions of key bishops were indeed necessary to establish the precise nature of the canon of Scripture.   Join us today as we talk about the history surrounding the Council of Rome (382) and the creation of the authoritative list of Scriptures.

Over a decade ago, a prominent Evangelical Protestant church historian set forth the claim that early Christian councils such as the ones that met Hippo (393), Carthage (397) and elsewhere merely recognized the canon of Scripture. They did not bestow authority, these scholars claim, on the books which are now part of the Bible. Instead, their decision to canonize the Scriptures reflected their larger desire to submit themselves to the authority of Scripture.  Their act of canonizing, this scholar argued, reflected their belief in sola scriptura, that is, that Scripture by itself defines the church’s doctrines and morals.   Are these claims true? Did the early councils merely recognize a certain number of books as belonging to the authoritative list of books that now constitute the Scriptures? And, did their canonizing of the Scriptures reflect their belief that their own ecclesial decisions, religious teaching and that of the church as a whole was subject to error?   In this episode I take a second to evaluate this claim about the authority which early councils attributed to their decisions in light of the primary sources. More specifically, we look at the records preserved of the local Council of Laodicea (363). Laodicea, I argue, presents a very different picture of the early councils’ exercise of authority than one given by certain evangelical Protestant church historians. In this council, I believe, one sees a picture of bishops from Asia minor rendering an authoritative declaration on what they believed to be the true list of scriptural books.   Join us today as we talk about the early councils and their perception of their own authority in relation to the authority of the Scriptures.

Several decades ago, a prominent Evangelical Protestant scholar set forth the claim that Augustine dominated the Councils of Hippo (393) and Carthage (397). For this reason, the scholar argued, one should not regard the decisions reached by these two councils as truly representative of the North African church.   The scholar made this claim in order to diminish the weight of Catholic appeals to these councils in order to demonstrate the canonicity of the Deuterocanonical books. These two councils have been famous in Catholic circles because they formulated lists of the canonical scriptures that are virtually identical to the ones canonized by the Catholic Church at the Council of Trent.   Since the sixteenth century, Catholics have appealed to the witness of the councils of Hippo and Carthage with regard to the inclusion of the Deuterocanonical books. By reframing the true source of this council’s decisions, this scholar would like to challenge the authority Catholics have allocated to these two North African councils.   Is it indeed the case that Augustine dominated these two councils? And, is it the case that these two councils were mostly an expression of his thought?   Join us today as we talk about this historical claim concerning Augustine’s role at these two important councils.

Why did it take so long for the early Christians to produce the canon of Scripture? In this episode, we continue our discussion about this objection to Christian truth claims.   Some critics of Christianity have raised the objection that because it took early Christians so long to create a canon of Scripture, rational people should not pay any attention to Christian truth claims. Since Christians were unable to decide from themselves what exactly the Scriptures were for so long, these critics reason, why should anyone bother to give Christian truth claims any attention?   In this episode, I explain why this type of objection is not applicable to Catholic Christianity. Catholicism does not accept the Protestant teaching of sola scriptura (i.e., scripture alone) as the sole infallible authority for determining what the Church believes (faith) and how the Church behaves (morals).   Instead, we explore some of the early structures of authority within early Christianity. From the authority of the liturgy to living voice of the magisterium, we discuss the various means early Christians used to address the life questions.   Please join me this week as we discuss the relationship between the history of the canon and the various structures of authority within the church.   To comment on this show or provide feedback, please navigate to https://catholicheritageshow.com/episode169 The Catholic Heritage is devoted to helping Catholic Christians better understand the history, teachings and culture of their Catholic faith so that they can better love and serve Christ, the Church and their neighbors.

A common objection to the validity of Christian truth claims is that it took a rather long time to create the canon of Scripture (i.e., the authoritative list of books to be read in the Churches).   In this episode, we briefly review the practical and unseen factors that were behind the creation of this authoritative list. We discuss such basic aspects as the price of manuscripts, the difficulty of obtaining writing materials and the need for intra-church communication—factors that are often left unconsidered by those who quickly dismiss Christian truth claims because it took the Church a long time to create this list.   Early Christian communities faced many challenges beyond the task of determining which books ought to be included in its authoritative list. From answering claims about the Church’s relationship to Judaism in the Church’s conflict with Marcionism to defining the Church’s relationship to the state, early Christian leaders had to figure out answers to these questions in ways that would satisfy their audiences. In the midst of these pressing concerns, the resolution of the canon had to wait.   In addition to these pressing tasks, to name just a few, resolving the question of the canon of Scripture was an enormous undertaking. The task involved nothing short of creating an authoritative list from dozens of books written over hundreds of years in different languages. The leaders of the Church had to evaluate the contents of these documents, the contents of which have continued to exercise the minds of scholars to this day.   Join us this week as we review some of the major challenges that faced the church in compiling this list that we now call the canon of Scripture.

What does the history of the canon of Scripture teach us about discerning Christian truth claims? In this episode, I approach this question by making the general argument that Scripture by itself (sola scriptura) is incapable of establishing the nature of the canon of Scripture (i.e., the list of scriptural books). I briefly review some of the basic differences in the ways Protestant and Catholic Christians approach the question of how a Christian knows for certain which books belong to the canon of Scripture. I note that generally speaking Protestant Christians rely heavily on a certain number of criteria for determining the canon. Catholics, however, look not only to many of these same criteria but also to the Church’s authority and tradition. In this episode, we argue that Christians need the Church’s tradition and, ultimately, the Church’s authority to determine which books are indeed part of the authoritative list of scriptural books. Apart from the Church’s authority and the Church’s tradition, it becomes difficult, if not impossible, to gain certainty on the nature of the canon of Scripture. Join us this week as we discuss the relationship between the canon of Scripture and one’s ability to discern competing Christian truth claims.

Tradition plays a key role in Catholic thinking. Why is this so? In this podcast episode, we briefly discuss the relationship between tradition and our knowledge of the Bible’s contents. I talk a little bit about how tradition played a key role in leading the church’s leaders to include certain books on the list of authoritative books to be read on liturgy. We note that most of the Gospels do not contain autobiographical information on the part of the author, explicitly indicating their connection to apostolic sources. The absence of such information is critical because, without it, another source is needed for confirming the apostolic origins of these statements about the life and ministry of Jesus. In other words, we need tradition in order to know which Gospels indeed emerged from apostolic origins.

Augustine had some very important things to say about the canon of Scripture. This week we look at his statements to the Roman Catholic Christian Laurentius in his attempt to justify his appeal to the Letter to the Hebrews. In this brief episode we talk about the role that the authority the church fathers played in Augustine’s determination of the Scriptures. We note that this appeal to the authority the fathers is significant because of the frequently invoked theory by a good number of Protestant scholars concerning the early formation of the canon. In this episode, we take a critical look at this theory and ask: when was the letter to the Hebrews considered part of the canon of Scripture?

By the mid-second century, pagans were leveling many accusations concerning Christianity. In addition to the outlandish claims of cannibalism, certain pagans had begun to allege that Jews and Christians were unable to provide any reasons for what they believed about Moses and Christ. In response to the accusation that Christianity was hostile toward reason, the Catechetical School of Alexandria was formed. In today’s episode we talk a little bit about the early founders and teachers of the school, noting their objectives, writings and cultural achievements. Join us today as we continue our discussion about second-century Christianity.   To comment on this show or provide feedback, please navigate to https://catholicheritageshow.com/episode163 The Catholic Heritage is devoted to helping Catholic Christians better understand the history, teachings and culture of their Catholic faith so that they can better love and serve Christ, the Church and their neighbors.

How was the Bible interpreted during the first centuries of the Christian faith? In this episode, which is part of our larger series on second-century Christianity, we will briefly outline some of the interpretive strategies used by early marginalized Christian thinkers known as the Gnostics. In this episode, we briefly mention that the Gnostics relied heavily upon the allegory of the cave taken from Plato’s Republic. This metaphor of the cave gave the Gnostic Christians the ability to find in the gospel some of their distinct ideas about the true identity of human beings, the salvation of the soul and the purpose of the creation of the cosmos. Join us this week as we review some of the chief characteristics of biblical interpretation in the Gnostic systems.

What are some of the characteristics of Catholic interpretations of the Bible? In this episode we briefly discuss the phenomenon of balancing tensions. One of the hallmark characteristics of Catholic theology is its attempt to balance tensions. This approach can be best summarized in the phrase “both and”. One of the salient characteristics of the ways in which Catholic interpreters have approached the text of Scripture is an attempt to integrate seemingly opposing ideas. Hence, our description of this approach as balancing the tensions. This tension balancing can be seen, for example, in the ways in which Augustine handled the question of salvation by faith and works. Rather than opt for salvation by faith alone or salvation by works alone, Augustine throughout his life tried to balance the tension of affirming salvation by faith and salvation by good works. Join us this week as we discuss the salient characteristic of historic Catholic approaches to the Bible.

Who were the apologists of the early church? In this brief episode, we provide an overview as the meaning of the term apologist, noting that it designates someone who makes a defense on behalf of another, usually in a court of law. In the early church, the apostles performed an apologetic role on behalf of Christianity, defending the religion and its central claims about its founder. When historians use the term “apologists” in writing about the history of Christianity, however, they are referring not to the apostles but rather to second-century Christian thinkers such as Justin Martyr, Athenagoras and others. These Christian thinkers defended the faith from attacks and criticisms leveled against the religion by their neighbors, political leaders and pagan intellectuals. Join us this week as we briefly review who the apologists were and what their work accomplished.

In this brief episode we talk about the nature of textual criticism. First and foremost, we dispel the notion that textual criticism is equivalent to being hostile toward the text of Scripture. Instead, textual criticism refers to the attempt to reconstruct, to the best of our ability, the text of Scripture according to its earliest form. We note that textual criticism involves numerous trips to foreign libraries, the acquisition of facsimiles and other such measures in order to determine what the text the Bible looked like through the centuries across the Roman world. Textual criticism, moreover, is essential for establishing the wording of the texts not only for the study of the Bible but for any ancient or early modern text for that matter. Join us this week as we briefly review this important area within the academic study of the Bible.

Which principles should Catholics use when attempting to understand the meaning of the Bible? In this episode, we talk at length about the analogy of faith, a principle which states that individual statements of Scripture should be understood within the larger structure of Catholic beliefs, which are conveniently synthesized in the Nicean-Constantinopolitan creed. We discuss how this principle has characterized the way that famous Catholic bishops, doctors and saints of the church have understood the Bible’s meaning. For many of these thinkers within the Catholic heritage, the Church’s faith established a continual reference point for understanding the meaning of difficult statements in the Bible. At the heart of this conviction was the belief that the same God who led the authors of Scripture to write the text of the individual books of the Bible was the same God who led the church in defiance faith over the centuries. Join us this week as we discuss the analogy of faith as one of the Catholic approach is to interpreting Scripture.

The recent critics of Pope Francis have expanded their criticisms of the pontiff to the entirety of the faithful. They have begun to argue that the Catholic laity en masse has been duped by the clergy from the local parish priest to the pontiff himself. In making this decision, these critics of Pope Francis again reveal that they have far more in common with the early Gnostic critics of the Catholic Church than they with their contemporaries and opponents, the early church Fathers. In this episode, we briefly review some of the more recent assessments on the deception of the faithful, as argued by the English-speaking critics of Pope Francis. All Catholics should be fully aware of certain trends throughout church history. In this regard, the critics of Francis return to a classical line of argumentation leveled by many opponents of the Catholic faith not only from the early church but through the Middle Ages and unto the present day.

Paul's words are often used to defend a belief in salvation by faith alone. Protestant Christians have often referred to Paul's statements in Romans 3:28 and Galatians 2:16 as evidence for this teaching? But did Paul really teach salvation by faith alone? In this episode, we continue our discussion of those statements in Paul's Epistles which are often neglected by Protestant Christians.  We will be talking about Romans 2:13, a passage which affirms that God will justify Christians by their works of obedience to the moral law. Join us this week as we continue our discussion of those neglected passages in Paul's Epistles.   To comment on this show or provide feedback, please navigate to https://catholicheritageshow.com/episode143 The Catholic Heritage is devoted to helping Catholic Christians better understand the history, teachings and culture of their Catholic faith so that they can better love and serve Christ, the Church and their neighbors.

One of the most striking things about the Council of Trent is how little people know about the council but have strong opinions about it. In this episode, we talk about the fact that most people’s knowledge about the Council of Trent comes through word-of-mouth. In contradistinction to this shallow understanding of Trent’s actual statements, the actual documents produced by the Council of Trent are enormous. In this episode, we encourage our listeners to take the time to read the translated documents of the Council of Trent. Using those translations as a starting point, we argue, is an excellent place to begin one’s study of this extremely important council in the history of the Catholic Church.

What are some of the best tools for figuring out dates and places in Christian history? In this brief episode we talk about an important tool for the study of our Catholic faith, namely, the Atlas of Christian History, which was published by Dr. Tim Dowley. Church history is full of names, dates and places. How does one even begin to undertake this Herculean task? Every craftsman needs tools and some of the best tools for students of church history come in the form of atlases. An atlas is a book containing an entire series of maps about the world, a given region or a particular time in human history. The Atlas of Christian History will help students of church history orient themselves toward the geographic locations were many important events, gatherings and decisions were rendered. This atlas contains scores of maps from nearly 21 centuries of Christian history. Join us in this episode as we briefly discuss some of the benefits of using this resource when studying the history of Christianity.

When was the Muratorian Canon written? A good number of scholars posit that this fragmentary list of New Testament books was written either in the second half the second century or sometime in the fourth. In this episode, we take a quick second to briefly review a recent claim made by a popular scholar on the history of the canon of Scripture concerning the dating of the Muratorian Canon. We note that contrary to this scholar’s claim, there exists in the academy fierce debate about the precise dating of this important fragment. In fact, the history of research on the Muratorian Canon is characterized far more by intense debate than anything else. For this reason, I encourage any student of the canon to take much caution before easily accepting any proposed date for its composition. Join us this week as we discuss this important early Christian witness to the New Testament canon.   The Catholic Heritage is devoted to helping Catholic Christians better understand the history, teachings and culture of their Catholic faith so that they can better love and serve Christ, the Church and their neighbors.

One of the important reasons to study one’s faith for oneself is to overcome the limited presentations of others. In this episode we talk about why it is important to take the time to look into the records of one’s faith so as to verify the claims of others. Oftentimes, opponents of Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular like to offer limited presentations of the evidence so as to bolster their case. In light of this fact, it is critical for Catholics to know their heritage in order to respond appropriately.

What is an up to date and affordable resource for the study of the Catholic heritage? The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church has been for many years my go to resource when studying the vast history of the Christian tradition. The book is an excellent place to begin one’s investigation into the sources of the Catholic tradition.   Catholic readers should note that the volume was assembled by many members of the Church of England. As a result, some of the entries skew toward Protestant perspectives or are oriented toward the larger narratives of the Protestant Reformation. Nevertheless, for the price and for the accessibility to first rate scholarship on many people, movements and doctrines in the history of the Christian tradition, one would be hard pressed to find a better resource.   To obtain the most affordable and the most up to date version of this work, please use the following link: https://www.amazon.com/Dictionary-Christian-Church-F-Cross/dp/1598562509/. Note well, that the Catholic Heritage, LLC, makes no money if you purchase from this link. We offer this resource solely for the benefit of our listeners.   To comment on this show or provide feedback, please navigate to https://catholicheritageshow.com/episode134 The Catholic Heritage is devoted to helping Catholic Christians better understand the history, teachings and culture of their Catholic faith so that they can better love and serve Christ, the Church and their neighbors.

What did Martin Luther and Ulrich Zwingli have to say about the Eucharist? In this episode, we discuss some of the major outcomes of the famous debate between Martin Luther and Ulrich Zwingli held in the city of Marburg (1529). We note that Luther was a fierce proponent of Christ’s real presence in the Eucharistic elements of bread and wine. Zwingli, however, was a staunch supporter of the symbolic nature of the Eucharist. This episode is part of our larger series on Protestant Agreements and Differences. The goal of these episode is to help Catholic Christians better understand what unites and divides Protestant Christians. The larger goal of this series is to help Catholics better understand that the differences between Protestant denominations touch the key beliefs of Protestantism as a whole, namely, salvation by faith alone and the sole authority of Scripture. Join us this week as we discuss how these two major thinkers in the early Reformation viewed the Eucharist and its bearing on salvation.   To comment on this show or provide feedback, please navigate to https://catholicheritageshow.com/episode133 The Catholic Heritage is devoted to helping Catholic Christians better understand the history, teachings and culture of their Catholic faith so that they can better love and serve Christ, the Church and their neighbors.

What is the best way to address historical objections to Christianity as a whole and Catholicism in particular? In this episode we talk about the importance of asking important questions of the one posing the objection. We note that any worthwhile historical investigation into any question will take time. Usually, people who raise these types of questions have not taken the time to investigate the matter in the primary sources. Instead, they rely exclusively on secondary sources, that is, popular books, magazines or online videos. Join us this week as we begin this new series of addressing historical objections to Christianity.   To comment on this show or provide feedback, please navigate to https://catholicheritageshow.com/episode132 The Catholic Heritage is devoted to helping Catholic Christians better understand the history, teachings and culture of their Catholic faith so that they can better love and serve Christ, the Church and their neighbors.

Down through the centuries, Catholic authors have engaged in a long conversation over the Life Questions. An integral aspect to the ways Catholics have answered these questions was to tap into the efforts of previous generations of Catholic Christians who likewise engaged the Life Questions.  Early catholic authors such as Origen, Augustine and Jerome made extensive use of earlier Catholic authors in their efforts to engage the records of the Christian tradition. They believed that the answers to the Life Questions were to be found in the Christian tradition and not apart from it. To determine the answers to these questions, they believed, the Catholic would do well to consult the labors of earlier Catholic thinkers. By building upon their efforts, correcting their mistakes and preserving their contributions, they maintained, the Catholic intellectual could come to a more precise understanding of the Christian faith.
