Restitutio is a Christian theology podcast designed to get you thinking about biblical theology, church history, and apologetics in an effort to recover the original Christian faith of Jesus and the apostles apart from all of the later traditions that settled on it like so much sediment, obscuring and mutating primitive Christianity into dogma and ritual.

  • This podcast is HOME

    After searching the internet for different viewpoints on certain topics in the Bible I landed on an interview with Sean Finnegan. From there I checked out the website and podcast and can honestly say it’s amazing. God has used Sean and his team to bring clarity to the word of God in a world where solid teaching is not usually sought or found. Thanks again for all you do. I am really enjoying the Corinthians series. One God Over All is also a must listen/watch.

  • Does reading the Bible confuse you? This podcast is your answer.

    It would take paragraphs to describe how helpful and informative this podcast is to understanding the Bible. I used to read the Bible and it went in and out, and I did not retain any of it or understand any of it. This podcast takes the time to explain the Bible word for word And it’s funny and enjoyable, and I always remember what I was taught because they make it so clear and fun and use a lot of stories and analogies. Anyone who is stuck reading God‘s word can become extremely well-versed by ... more

  • LOVE IT!!!

    Absolutely my favorite podcast. Sean, with help of others, discusses or teaches about many different topics. Everything from apologetics (you have to with a Christ centered podcast) to aliens (Yep!). An in depth class of science and the Bible. Including three lessons dedicated to evolution just to make sure that everything is presented as accurately as possible. This podcast is full of historical references to provide context instead of just quoting a church mission statement.

    TLDR: Variety. Giv... more
