Scott Swain, Matthew Barrett, Fred Sanders, and JV Fesko team up in this episode of the Credo Alliance to explain why Natural Theology matters, contrary to caricatures. In the last century theologians have objected to Natural Theology. But Natural Theology was taught by the Great Tradition and was a key component of Protestantism over the last 500 years. Natural Theology is based on God’s revelation of himself through nature, which includes man, made as he is in the image of God. It explains Paul’s assertion that knowledge of God is available to all through creation. In this episode, this team of theologians explains why our knowledge of God is not limited to Christ, but scripture itself invites us to gaze in wonder at the theater of God’s glory.
