What is the difference in Eastern Orthodoxy and Evangelicalism? Are they compatible or are they different religions all-together? How does Orthodoxy define salvation? Do they hold the Scriptures as their ultimate authority?
Join us as we discuss these questions and many more with Orthodox theologian Bradley Nassif. In the broadcast I ask Dr. Nassif four very important questions with answers that may surprise you:
What, in your opinion, is the biggest weakness of Evangelicalism?
What, in your opinion, is the greatest strength of Evangelicalism?
What, in your opinion, is the biggest weakness of Orthodoxy?
What, in your opinion, is the greatest strength of Orthodoxy?
I will give you a teaser on this. The greatest weakness of Evangelicalism is our ecclesiology and our “historical amnesia.” I agree.
Don’t forget to check out Dr. Nassif’s excellent podcast called Simply Orthodox.
