Apologist Sam Shamoun, the Assyrian Encyclopedia, invited me on to discuss the Orthodox view of Tradition and Scripture, why we don’t accept sola scriptura, and how this contrasts with the other guests Sam had on. Dr. Robert Sunegnis presented a 2 hour talk that failed to really even address the actual issues, and Anthony Rogers presented the Calvinist view.

We will analyze the film’s stages and symbolism, as well as the meaning of its strange ending. This “holy mountain” contrasts well with real holy mountains, as we will see. The full analysis will be available to subscribers. Support via Streamlabs here.

Our frend Michael Witcoff speaks to me and Fr. Dcn Dr Ananias on his podcast concerning our new project on Orthodox apologetics and argumentation and how to integrate transcendental arguments in a coherent way. We cover apologetic methodology, the chapters we have complete so far, the projected audiences, how we look at Thomistic philosophy and theology and its (inadequate) apologetic, and why the transcendental argument for God is much more biblical, patristic and philosophically sound.
