Loads of channels do Christian Denomination comparison. I think loads of Christians right now are looking through Orthodoxy, and Catholicism, and Anglicanism, etc. But it might be worth going through all of these issues in depth from scratch. So like an episode on Marian dogmas and their theology/historicity. An episode on the Filioque and the historic and scriptural testimony. My hope is that as an Anglican who feels pretty neutral on this stuff this can help to create a platform to sort through these issues. Would you guys be interested in that?
I came from a Reformed back ground and I was discussing with my Presbyterian friend about how the Reformed view the patristics compared to Anglicans and here is what I wrote. Has anyone else had a similar experience?
"Quite honestly though the Reformed seem to be on the back foot in terms of patristic theology. You guys never present your theology positively from the patristics but only negatively. Pointing out nuance in the sources but you'll never hear from a Reformed theologian "Here is where Augustine agrees with us on baptism " or "Here is where Athanasius agrees with us on church polity" or "Here is where Ambrose agrees with us on the meaningof apostacy". All these issues were debated but none of the positive answers given fit with the Reformed distinctives on these issues. So instead you get here is what Augustine, Athanasius, Ambrose, etc did not believe about these things but not much authority is granted to what they said about most topics."
