About The Essentials of Christian Thought, A Video Study:

Christians disagree on doctrine, politics, church government, certain moral questions - just about everything under the sun, it can seem. Yet a unity remains, centered around a core outlook on God and the world that is common to all believers. Or at least, such an outlook should unite Christians of all theological and church backgrounds. However, alternate visions of reality often infect and corrupt Christians' thinking.

In The Essentials of Christian Thought, A Video Study, together with accompanying book The Essentials of Christian Thought, eminent theologian and church historian Roger Olson outlines the basic perspective on the world that all Christians, regardless of the place and time in which they were born, have historically held. This underlying metaphysic accords with all orthodox theologies, whether Calvinist or Arminian, Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, or Protestant, but it separates Christianity from other religious and secular perspectives. It is, quite simply, the essential requirement of a Christian view of the world.

The Essentials of Christian Thought, A Video Study will prompt viewers to more consciously appropriate the core of their faith, guarding against ideas that subtly but necessarily invite compromise.

The Essentials of Christian Thought, A Video Study is part of the Zondervan Beyond the Basics Series, which is dedicated to bringing expert teaching from the world's best biblical scholars and theologians directly to interested learners. The Essentials of Christian Thought, A Video Study offers the chance to learn about the necessary principles of a Christian outlook on the world from one of today's premier theologians.

Bom dia paz do Senhor! Eu acho que as pessoas que postam vídeos do doutor Roger Olson deveriam postá-los no mínimo legendados pelo menos.

Not one mention of actual Christian metaphysicians like Plantinga, van Inwagen, Adams, Craig, Swinburne, Rea,
Zimmerman?! 🤦🏽‍♂️

According to Bart Ehrman, Jesus was a misguided apocalyptic who expected the Kingdom of God to come in his time. He was crucified by the Romans and didn't rise from the dead. Can your brand of epistemology debunk Ehrman? A recently published eleventh-century manuscript based on a first century original, "The Testimony of Nathan Son of Isaac Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, " would apparently corroborate Ehrman.
