Church History 201 Guidelines
Welcome to Church History 201.
Believe it or not, this is the exact place where Luther first posted the 94 thesis. We convinced him to add one.
This is the forum where the Church and its actions in history can be discussed. Since CH201, like the other fora in the History department, is not limited to participation along lines of theology, all may post here. This means that anything like Ecclesiology can be discussed without the restrictions of the Ecclesiology forum, and without the atmosphere of Ecclesiology 201 or the Apologetics-specific forum.
Please keep the Campus Decorum in mind when posting here--while 'belief' restrictions are not in place, common decency is and such is not the area to try disembowel anyone's faith.
If you need to refresh yourself on the decorm, now would be a good time.

Originally posted by Hypatia_Alexandria View PostDoes he really only have one permitted "reasonable explanation"? Good grief - he speak to the Board about a raise.
A few years ago, there had been a number of.. um... odd things... happening in our district, and to top it all off, a local veterinarian posted a picture on Facebook of a feral cat she shot with a bow and arrow.
My State Rep was quite upset, cause that seemed to have topped the other "bad news" things. She said, "I used up all my swear words at the same time that day".The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by KingsGambit View PostHolding and I had a brief discussion on her book a few years ago but it was buried. A lot of what Moss presents is not particularly controversial and was sensationalized in the headlines.
I do remember Sean McDowell tried to go back and independently verify the martyrdom of the apostles and was unable to verify the majority of them because so much is just lost to history.
Furthermore, it is hardly surprising that Mr McDowell was unsuccessful in his attempts to verify the alleged "martyrdom of the apostles" given that those accounts appear to be little more than Christian pietistic fiction."It ain't necessarily so

Originally posted by Terraceth View PostI don't know about the discussion but his review of the book is here:
http://tektonticker.blogspot.com/201...s-myth-of.html
He wrote a book on the subject, "The Fate of the Apostles." I haven't read it personally, but here's an article he wrote that gives a summary of his conclusions, presumably the book goes into much more detail:

All of 'em. I have what is commonly referred to as a library.
