Why the Bible is Catholic: How Typology Comes Directly from Christ and the Apostles | Ep. 60
from Eternal Christendom Podcast
CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOMIn this episode, we explain how Christ and the Apostles provided us a key to open the treasures of Scripture in a way that shows the Bible is profoundly Catholic: Typology, the principle that "the New is hidden in the Old, and the Old is revealed in the New."As I was converting from protestantism, I was frequently told by protestants that various typological arguments in favor of the Catholic Faith were "unbiblical," to the point that some of them would effectively deny the reality of Typology itself. This episode will prove otherwise, building the foundation for future episodes showing how Typology bolsters the Catholic Faith by proving that it wasn't imposed on Scripture by the Church Fathers and the Catholic Church, but rather comes directly from Christ and the Apostles.VISIT OUR WEBSITEhttps://eternalchristendom.com/BECOME A PATRON OF THE GREAT TRADITIONAs a non-profit, you can support our mission with a tax-deductible gift.
