Minicast: The Puritans vs. The Pope

Was identifying the Pope as the "Man of Sin" just a 17th-century insult, or a technical theological necessity? This week on The Puritan Pulpit, host Nick Reddin explores the radical convictions that defined a movement. We’re diving into why the Puritan divines viewed any human claim to supreme authority over the Church as "spiritual high treason" and why they branded the Roman system a "spiritual Egypt".From Jonathan Edwards’ imagery of the Papacy being consumed like a garment by a "moth" to John Owen’s "practical love of truth" as the only lasting defense against superstition , we uncover the redemptive-historical vision that shaped the Puritan worldview.
