Question and Answer Friday - 5: Eastern Orthodoxy, Monogenes, Protestant Identity, and More

Theology Unplugged

In this fifth Q and A session of "Theology Unplugged," we tackle a wide range of questions that dive deep into essential theological concepts. We discuss the distinction between monogenēs and the traditional translation of "only begotten," shedding light on how this Greek term has been understood in the New Testament and its implications for Christology. We also explore what it truly means to be Protestant, delving into the principle of semper reformanda—the idea that the church must always be reforming. Additionally, we examine the role of tradition in Christianity, comparing how Protestants, Catholics, and Eastern Orthodox Christians view doctrinal development and church history. Join us for an engaging session that challenges and deepens your understanding of these foundational aspects of the Christian faith.
