Christian Beliefs and Theology (Season 2, Episode 13)

Finchwood Discipleship Podcast

In this season, we've covered so much of what makes Christianity distinctive - our literature and the way we live our lives - but what exactly do we believe? What are the distinct points of faith that connect us and define us as Christians?

This episode attempts to answer those questions, at least in an introductory way, by going over the fundamentals of theology that Christianity is built on, as expressed the historical statements of faith from the early Church period.

Chapters:
00:00 - "We Believe..."
01:42 - Theology isn't Just for Bullies
03:02 - Theology is a Form of Worship
05:13 - Theology is Relevant
07:17 - The Story of Theology
10:00 - Essentials vs. Nonessentials
12:30 - Things All Christians Believe
15:30 - Things Some Christians Believe

Note: Though it wasn't mentioned in the episode, an excellent (even if heady) resource for this discussion is Roger Olsen's book The Mosaic of Christian Belief.

Thanks for listening!
