The Nicene Creed (with Matthew Barrett)

What was is The Nicene Creed and why does it matter? In this episode, Dr. Matthew Barrett joins Kirk to discuss the historical circumstances that gave rise to the creed as well as some of its central confessions. They discuss why it matters that Jesus is “of the same substance with the Father” and “eternally begotten” but “not made.” The Nicene Creed gives us categories by which to understand God’s self-revelation in scripture as it finds its center in the saving work of Christ.

On the Incarnation by Athanasius (Book Recommendation)

*In the video, I misspoke and said, “I use that term lightly,” instead of, “I don’t use that term lightly.”


This “must read” Christian classic is perfect reading for advent season. Writing in the 4th century, Athanasius, one of the greatest thinkers of the early church, argues why the Son of God became human (i.e., the incarnation) — namely to rescue us from our corruption and raise us to restoration with the risen Christ.
