33. Through Theology in a Year with C. Michael Patton: Essentials and Non-Essentials (1)

Welcome to the thirty-threeepisode of "Through Theology in a Year" on the "Theology Unplugged" podcast. In this session, we delve into the crucial topic of essentials and non-essentials in the Christian faith, a key subset of epistemology. We'll explore methodologies for distinguishing between essential and non-essential doctrines, examining the history of the Church and biblical essentials. Our goal is to identify which doctrines are worth standing firm on, even to the point of sacrifice, and which ones are not. This discussion is vital for fostering a big-tent Christianity that respects diverse beliefs while maintaining core truths. Join us for this insightful and engaging series as we define what it means to hold onto the essentials of the faith. Make sure to catch up on previous episodes to fully grasp the ongoing series.
