  • Christianity Made Concise

    Having grown up in a multi-denominational family, I learned of the general Christian principles and commandments well enough to “get the gist”. I subsequently lived a Christian, albeit agnostic, life. After stumbling upon Orthodoxy and this podcast, it does a very good job of stripping away the vagueness and seemingly contradictory interpretations of those other denominations. In doing so, it speaks to “the truth” that the other faiths’ rationalizations could only allude to.
