23 Rhyne Putman Interview Part 1: "When Doctrine Divides the People of God"

In this week’s episode, Daniel Ray talks with Dr. Rhyne Putman about his new book, When Doctrine Divides the People of God: An Evangelical Approach to Theological Diversity. Where should we draw the line? Should we even draw lines? As evangelicals, we desire to be biblical — we want our doctrine to be rooted in the Bible, our lives to be guided by the Bible, and our disagreements to be resolved by the Bible. And yet, conflicts within our church communities continue to appear and seemingly multiply with time. Interpretations of the Bible and deeply held convictions often put Christians at odds. Rhyne and Daniel discuss how Christians can best demonstrate grace in disagreement while maintaining firmness in truth.Rhyne Putman serves on the Board of Directors at Watchman Fellowship and is the author of numerous Watchman Fellowship Profiles. He earned a B.A. from Williams Baptist College, an M.Div., Th.M. and Ph.D. from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary (NOBTS). He has taught for over ten years at NOBTS where he serves as Associate Professor of Theology and Culture. Shortly after this interview was recorded, Dr. Putman announced that he would be returning to his alma mater, Williams Baptist University, as Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs, Director of Worldview Formation and Professor of Christian Ministries. BONUS LINKS: Here are some additional resources: Richard Dawkins Profile by Rhyne Putman: https://www.watchman.org/Dawkins.pdf Bart Ehrman Profile by Rhyne Putman: https://www.watchman.org/ProfileBartEhrman.pdf Sam Harris Profile by Rhyne Putman: https://www.watchman.org/files/ProfileSamHarris.pdf Eckhart Tolle Profile by Rhyne Putman: https://www.watchman.org/profiles/pdf/eckharttolleprofile.pdf When Doctrine Divides the People of God: An Evangelical Approach to Theological Diversity, by Rhyne Putman (available at Amazon.com in Paperback or Kindle Editions: https://amzn.to/3hfLO1J).
