The Biblical Roots of Indulgences | An Interview With a Jewish Convert

from Stunned by Scripture · host St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology

In this second episode of Stunned by Scripture, John Bergsma sits down with fellow Bible scholar Dr. Jeff Morrow to discuss his own conversion story as well as the history and validity behind Indulgences. Growing up in a culturally Jewish but agnostic household, Jeff Morrow shares how his skepticism and academic studies led him to ultimately converting to Catholicism. Furthermore, they discuss Evangelical Protestantism, historical criticism, the role of Scripture, Indulgences, Purgatory, and addressing the Protestant claim of Catholics "adding" books to the Bible.
