Scripture, the Genesis of Doctrine: A Conversation with Dr. Frances M. Young

Dive into the riveting world of the early church as we confront the movement from Scripture to the establishment of the doctrines of Christianity. In this episode, we embark on an intellectual odyssey led by Dr. Frances M. Young, whose decades of meticulous biblical and patristic research culminate in a groundbreaking exploration. Dr. Young skillfully situates the biblical hermeneutics of early Christians within the vibrant tapestry of Greco-Roman learning, all without succumbing to the pitfalls of historical relativism. Through her insightful analysis, she challenges our modern assumptions, suggesting that the perceived gap between Scripture and doctrine may be more a product of contemporary paradigms than a reflection of ancient reality. Unveiling the concurrent emergence of the scriptural canon and the rule of faith in the early Church, Dr. Young presents a compelling argument that both were received as apostolic truths. Join us as we journey through the corridors of intellectual history, unraveling the origins of Christian doctrine and shedding light on the intricate interplay between Scripture and tradition.#bible #scripture #theology #doctrine #heretics #ruleoffaith #christianity #christian #earlychurch #god #creator #creation #irenaeus #marcion #creed #creeds #confession #confessions #francesyoung #religion #patristictheology #churchfathers #exegesis #church #biblestudy Dr. Frances M.
