  • Impressed

    I listened to his criticism of Eastern Orthodoxy. I am not Orthodox (at least not yet, I’m a confused Prot) but I’ve been super interested in it for a while. I liked how fair he was, I liked the criticisms he brought up of particular Orthodox teachings, particularly how they were well worded and honestly present a difficult challenge for those in that tradition to respond. I thought he [Gavin] used Scripture well. Overall, Gavin shows that Evangelicals can be fiercely intelligent and well spoken... more

  • Must Listen

    It is rare to find a man or theologian with this much humility yet at the same time extremely knowledge and astonishingly, also be able to communicate his deep reformed theology very clearly. I love all topics Dr. Ortlund goes over, I love a lot of his responses being from a deep understanding of a reformed view of historical Christianity. This podcast is a must listen to anyone wanting to deepen their knowledge of theology but also, more importantly, know Christ.
