Anglican Aesthetics

This podcast episode is an AI generated summary of Richard Hooker's Book 2 of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity. I will upload the audio reading of the Laws shortly!The AI Summary: "The provided text, "Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity Book II", presents a systematic theological argument against the Puritan belief that Scripture is the only rule for all human actions in this life. The author meticulously examines and refutes several scriptural proofs brought forth by those urging reform, including passages from Proverbs, 1 Corinthians, 1 Timothy, and Romans, to demonstrate that God directs human behavior through multiple kinds of laws, not solely through divine command in the Bible. A significant portion of the text addresses arguments from negative authority (what is not commanded is sin), showing how such logic is frequently misused and that both natural reason and human authority are necessary, even in matters of faith, without undermining the perfection of Scripture as a guide to salvation. Ultimately, the author concludes that the strict Puritan position creates a snare and torment for weak consciences, leading to an unsound legalism that rejects actions directed by natural light and common discretion."

In this video, I cover a theology of the atonement. I hope this is helpful to you!

Here, I give an Anglican take on the Eucharist. I hope this is helpful to you!

In this podcast, I give some thoughts on the Fall of Canterbury and a deeper theological rationale for why the presbytery is a masculine office. I hope this helps your own reflection on these issues!

We take a look at George Herbert's brilliant poem, "Holy Communion", to understand what is going on in the mystery of the Eucharist!

In this episode, I start giving an overview of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity as part of the Anglican Catechetical Initiative. I hope this is helpful to you!

Here, I give an overview of the deity of Christ in the New Testament. It is pervasive!

In this podcast, I explain what the phrase "the glory of God means", answer what it means to say that "God created the world for his own glory", and tackle whether this makes God out to be a narcissist. I hope this is helpful to you!

In this episode, I present a cumulative case for Christianity. The resources I reference are: The Nomological Argument: • The Nomological Argument for the Existence... Consciousness and the Existence of God: • The Irreducible Mind My paper on beauty: https://www.mdpi.com/2077-1444/15/9/1044 The Historical Evidence: • The Resurrection of Jesus

In this podcast, I try to motivate some of the concerns behind a framework for political engagement I'm working on called "Christic Liberalism". I hope this is helpful to you!

In this podcast episode, I begin covering Article 5 on the Holy Spirit. I intend to do a more in depth exploration, but for now I hope this is helpful to you!

I reflect on the wonder of the Trinity in this video! It's pretty theologically heavy, but I hope you can find something encouraging here. Articles Referenced: Holy Triune Love - https://ojs.uclouvain.be/index.php/th... Beauty is the Gravitas of Love: https://www.mdpi.com/2077-1444/15/9/1044

In this podcast, I continue my goal of providing a video commentary on the Articles of Religion. My hope is that whether you're an Anglican parishioner, inquirer, Christian or not, this would be helpful in giving you a sense of Anglican belief and theology as well as Christian theology overall. I hope this is helpful to you!

In this podcast, I expand on an earlier video and continue to build out an online Anglican catechesis. These videos were conceived for the sake of my church, but I figured I'd want to make them available more broadly as well. Here, I recapitulate prior material on the Trinity, and apply it to our experience of beauty! I hope this video is edifying to you and encourages you in your adoration of God the Father through Jesus Christ the Son in the power of the Holy Spirit!

In this podcast, I use the deity of Jesus as a test case for how the New Testament gives us reliable historical information about the claims and identity of Jesus of Nazareth. This podcast is an overview of some claims, and I hope to produce videos in my canon series showing why the books were canonized as they were.Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/AnglicanAesthetics

In this video, I continue my catechesis videos. These are designed to be an accompaniment to the adult catechesis at my church, but I also want to put them online for anyone to whom it would be helpful. For other incredible videos on the trinity, see the following: God Bible Project - • How God is Both One and Three at the Same ... What is the Trinity Inspiring Philosophy - • What is the Trinity?

This podcast begins my task of finally getting my channel into podcast format lol. I'm making to be an accompaniment for catechesis at my church. But I figured it would be good to make these available as well for anyone wishing to know more about the Christian faith, and (later on) the Anglican view of things. I love the Gospel. It is good news. In this video, I try my best to unpack the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a way that's clear. I will go through each of these aspects in greater detail, but for now I hope this helps! Some resources for you: https://bibleproject.com/explore/vide...
