Why Evangelicals Choose Galilee Over St. Peter’s (#350)

from Considering Catholicism · host Greg Smith

[DONATE WITH PAYPAL] Why do American evangelicals love Holy Land trips, seder dinners, and supporting the modern state of Israel? In this first of a three-part series, "Seeking Roots, Finding the Church," Greg explores how evangelicals, seeking a faith with gravitas, embrace a romanticized pre-Christian Jewish identity, imagining a simple, intimate faith free of “elaborate” Catholic or Orthodox traditions. He shares a story from St. Peter’s Basilica that reveals their crisis of imagination and explains how their focus on Old Testament promises overlooks the Church as the New Israel. Discover why the apostolic tradition, founded by Christ’s apostles, fulfills Israel’s story and offers the true heritage they seek. [DONATE WITH PAYPAL] so more people can consider Catholicism!
