Where Gavin Ortlund’s History of Icons Goes Wrong

from FACTS · host Stephen Boyce

Joined by Steven Alspach from The Catholic Brothers, we break down the historical context behind iconography and examine where Gavin Ortlund and other Protestant critiques miss the mark. From the early Church to the development of Christian art, we take a closer look at the evidence and challenge some of the most common assumptions surrounding icons.If you'd like to donate to our ministry or be a monthly partner that receives newsletters and one on one discussions with Dr. Stephen Boyce, here's a link: https://give.tithe.ly/?formId=6381a2ee-b82f-42a7-809e-6b733cec05a7#GavinOrtlund #IconsDebate #ChristianHistory #ChurchHistory #EarlyChurch #Iconography Link to the Catholic Brothers: http://www.youtube.com/@TheCatholicBrothersLink to their on the Temple: https://youtu.be/Vasj98P1WAw?si=fyNvA7nIkkyfhj8dLinks to Gavin's videos: https://youtu.be/_ytYX4dXpRo?si=HoiYCDSIuF6esx0Zhttps://youtu.be/aoU4PO5d6kQ?si=pvD1NeDf1x1MiQmm
