331: The Baptist Bible Scholar Who Became Catholic (w/ Dr. Stephen Boyce)

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Bible scholar Dr. Stephen Boyce to tell the story of his conversion from Baptist to Anglican and, ultimately, into the Catholic Church. Stephen's story begins in independent Baptist churches, up through his PhD in a Baptist seminary, and through teaching and pastoring, researching the Early Church, and ultimately coming to the conclusion that his own denomination didn't look like Early Christianity. Driven by these realizations, Dr. Boyce, his wife, and kids became Anglican and, eventually, driven by the Real Presence in the Eucharist, Catholic.Dr. Boyce is someone that I've personally followed for some years. I love patristics and have appreciated his work and I couldn't be more excited to sit down with him and listen to his conversion story this week. I hope you enjoy! For more from Dr. Boyce check out his FACTS podcast on YouTube and Spotify.Send your feedback to [email protected].
