The Tale of Two Cities -- Tracing Biblicism & Humanism Through the Ages

In this episode, we dive into the context and surroundings of the Protestant Reformation & The Enlightenment.

TO2 is back, with an updated version of the podcast! In season 1, "The Shadows of Faith," prepare for a surprising, providential, and compelling story of the humanist/biblicist split. Amazingly, it leads us to this very day -- as John MacArthur & Peter Singer share the same roots. In 9 episodes, this documentary-style season will explain much of Western thought, and how Christians & the world have grown farther and farther apart.

In this episode, we discuss the ignition of the Reformation and some of the founding elements that distinguish the Renaissance away from it. We also cover the lives and works of both Martin Luther & Desiderius Erasmus. Where were they standing on issues that matter? Why was original sin such a big issue with one of them? Answers to these questions and more will be available on this episode of The Tale of Two Cities. Next Episode?
