Beyond Religion

In this episode, we are going to establish the primary biblical functions of the Church. Once we complete that task, we can then proceed to probe how Theology as an academic discipline can help the Church in the performance of its functions. Pay special attention to the distinction made between purpose and function as that will help you arrive at a better understanding of this episode. Thank you for taking a listen and feel free to share your views or send me a message on how I can make this podcast better for you. 

For a long time, after the reformation, academia (Theology to be more specific) has been separated from the ministry activities of the Church. To a certain degree, this divorce has had many adverse impacts on the Church's credibility as a social institution. In this episode of Beyond Religion, we want to probe how Theology as an academic discipline can help the Church fulfill its social functions.
