Today we’re going to start our study of Philippians, “The Epistle of Joy”. We’re going to begin by looking at the context of the letter. Who wrote it? To whom? When? Why?

If you’d like to take your study even further, I’d invite you to read my written introductory notes and, if you’re a real Bible nerd, you may also enjoy the “Top Up” episode I recorded where I discuss the theory that Philippians may actually be multiple letters stitched together:

So, it’s nearly the end of January which means that we’re just a couple of weeks away from Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent.

So, what are you going to be doing this Lent? Give up chocolate…again?! Don’t misunderstand me, fasting from treats is a good thing to do, but why not do something a little different this year?

With that in mind, why don’t you join me for Scripture study? Throughout Lent I will be posting videos on YouTube three times a week. Each video will be nice and short, enough time for you finish a nice cup of tea (or coffee, if that is your poison).

We’ll be working through St. Paul’s letter to the Philippians using the RSV-CE translation. More details to follow in the run-up to Ash Wednesday!

Dialog with Jerry: Part 1 (Sola Scriptura)

Leave a comment

Bible ClosedI recently devoted several posts to an exchange I had with a sedevacantist called Mike in the hope that, if you ever encounter a sedevacantist like him, you’ll have some idea as to what to expect.

Well, a little while ago I had some correspondence with a non-Catholic Christian named Jerry and I thought it would also be helpful if I posted some of that exchange here as well.

As often happens, we began our discussion by focussing on the Reformation doctrine of “Sola Scriptura” (“Scripture Alone”), the subject of my recent four-part series. As you can see from our exchange below, Jerry was a little confused as to the meaning of this Latin phrase…
