The Thrill of Orthodoxy: A Conversation with Trevin Wax
Manage episode 358554530 series 2332136
Episode Notes
We are most vulnerable to drifting from the core teachings of the Christian faith when we find them boring, irrelevant, or embarrassing. Dr. Trevin Wax wrote his book The Thrill of Orthodoxy: Rediscovering the Adventure of Christian Faith to counteract the familiarity with Christian teaching that he says is the enemy of wonder. He joins Dr. Keith Plummer to discuss a wide array of topics including the subtle yet often imperceptible ways that we drift from the gospel, how ancient summaries of Scriptural teaching like the Apostles', Nicene, and Athanasian creeds serve as valuable maps and grammars, why doctrinal details matter, and how Christian orthodoxy, contrary to its detractors, is actually broader, richer, and more satisfying than its heretical contenders.
