Albrecht vs. Augustine on the Bodily Presence – Further Rebuttal
William Albrecht has responded to a short video (technically it is just audio plus a slideshow) series I did demonstrating the obvious fact that Augustine did not believe that Jesus is bodily present with us today, although the divine presence of Jesus is with us (clip 1 / clip 2)(Albrecht’s Response – part 1a, 1b,…

Augustine the Inerrantist (and Justin too)
Nick Norelli at Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth has an interesting post on Justin Martyr and his view of inerrancy (link). I would, however, respectfully disagree that Justin’s is the strongest statement of inerrancy we see in the early church. I find similarly strong statements in other church fathers, such as in Augustine who…

>Augustine: A New Translation – Index Page
>This is an index page for the electronic versions of “The works of Aurelius Augustine: a new translation,” Edited by Marcus Dods. It was completed around 1876, so take the description “new” as a relative term. This obviously is not a complete translation of all of Augustine’s works, but it is a good start for…

Unity, Liberty, and Charity – Who said it first?
Introduction I happened to be reading LP Cruz’s blog today, and noticed an article in which he ascribed to “a 17th century Lutheran pastor” the famous saying, “In the essentials, unity, in the non-essentials, liberty, and in all things, Charity,” or something to that effect. It seems like sound-thinking and appeals to our softer side;…

Augustine vs. Modern Catholicism
Augustine, as demonstrated in the video below had a view of the Real presence that was more similar to the Reformed (or Orthodox) view, than to the Lutheran or Roman Catholic view. Skip to 5 minutes, 30 seconds, for the relevant material. The first five and half minutes are interesting, but mostly relevant to the…
