Why is classical theology meaningful for the Christian life? Classical doctrines like divine simplicity, divine satiety, or divine immutability can feel somewhat detached from our everyday life. However, they actually find their way into the Christian life and make it meaningful. They give beauty and stability to our day-to-day life. In this episode of the Credo Podcast, Dr. Ronni Kurtz and Dr. Sam Parkison discuss classical theism and the Christian life. For those who engage in classical theology, there is more to it than just intellectual fulfillment. There is something about a classical understanding of who God is and what He is doing in the world that impacts our love of God. Classical theology impacts the way we worship. It impacts the way we read the Bible. It impacts the way we pray. It impacts the way we engage in the Christian life. Join Dr. Ronni Kurtz and Dr. Sam Parkison as they share how classical theology can enrich our Christian life.
