When Orthodoxy Changed: The Crises That Forced Christianity to Evolve

from The Unintentional Heretic · host Greg Farrand

This episode explores the moments in Christian history when long-held “orthodox” paradigms were forced to evolve through crisis, discovery, and changing human understanding — from the fall of Rome and the Copernican Revolution to Darwin, democracy, and modern science. Rather than portraying faith as static certainty, the episode argues that Christianity has always been a living tradition wrestling to reinterpret itself in light of new realities, often resisting change at first before slowly moving toward deeper truth and greater humility. Would love to hear your thoughts!
