Anglican Aesthetics

In this video, I document the antiquity of the Anglican position on the Eucharist and show how it fits with the nature of redemption in general. The Anglican Eucharist is an icon of the world's redemption.

In this podcast episode, I cover how Rome botched their declaration that Anglican orders are "absolutely null and utterly void." The research done dramatically failed to represent Anglican thinking validly.

In this podcast, I upload our meeting on the Life and Legacy of John Jewel. This is part of my ongoing effort at the Anglican Catechetical Initiative to provide accessible resources to encourage the revitalization of orthodox Anglicanism. I hope this is helpful to you!

This is the podcast recording of a conversation I had with Douglas Wilson on political theology some time ago. I hope this is helpful to you!

This is a compilation of lecture videos on the Laws of ecclesiastical Polity for books I-IV. This is part of the Anglican Catechetical Initiative, where we're producing video and content that retrieve the Anglican divines for the revitalization of orthodox Anglicanism!

In this video, I respond to the notion that skepticism is what follows if one denies the infallibility of the Church or the Church's ability to infallibly propose what is a matter of Divine Faith. I define the terms "Divine Faith", "Rule of Faith", and Divine Revelation. I hope this helps!

In this video, I respond to Heschmeyer's "sole argument" for Rome.

Fudge's article: https://www.brrp.org/proceedings/brrp

In this video, I show that Christ is infinitely more lovely than sin is ugly. I argue that because of this--because the life of Christ, in the smallest degree, outshines the ugliness of your sin--that life is a compensation that outweighs the ugliest sin to whatever degree it dwells in you.

This podcast is a generated reading of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity, Book IV. I unfortunately could not get read of footnotes, so you'll have to bear with those.

In this podcast, I respond to the claim that we shouldn't want eternity. This video was inspired by an article written by a friend of mine from college, found here: https://medium.com/excommunications/y... I hope this is helpful to you.

The crux of my answer is this: in eternity, as we experience new vistas of God's beauty, it opens up new sensibilities and new tastes. That matches our present experiences of beauty right now, where experiences of beauty open up new vistas. And as we press ever onward into the beauty of things, and see...

In this conversation, Thomist Theologian Taylor Patrick O'Neill and I address the Problem of Evil. I hope this is a helpful podcast episode in your thinking about the matter!

In this podcast episode, I start a 3 part series defending the traditional view of hell as eternal conscious torment. I hope this is helpful to you!

Many Roman Catholics today misrepresent the classic teaching of purgatory to make it more palatable to Protestants. Here, I show how.

In this video, I trace the tragic history of clerical celibacy and why it called for a Reform in the theology of magisterial authority. I hope this is helpful to you!

While Rome has made progress in overruling the use of the title of Mary as "Co-Redemptrix", the theology behind it remains problematic. Here, I explain why.

This is a recorded meeting of the Anglican Catechetical Initiative for the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity, book 2! I hope this is helpful to you!

Herbert helps us think about what the Eucharist means from an Anglican perspective!

In this video, I raise 7 arguments against Roman Catholicism from an Anglican perspective. I put this up on my channel on Reformation Day, but I thought I might put it here as well.

Good works are not merely signs of our salvation, but the way God prepares us to inherit the kingdom. In this podcast, I trace the traditional Anglican doctrine of justification, union with Christ, and salvation.

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...

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:

Consciousness and the Existence of God: • The Irreducible Mind

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:

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.

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? The Trinity Explained Inspiring Philosophy - • The Trinity Explained

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...
