At The Intersection Of East And West

Dn. Michael begins his three-part lesson on the Council of Nicaea and talks about the challenge of Arianism.

Dn. Michael continues his introduction to the Ecumenical Councils and asks the question "Why does truth matter?"

In the first of a series, Dn. Michael introduces us to the Ecumenical Councils and their importance in Christian history and theology.

In part two of Dn. Michael's lessons on marriage, he explores the roles in marriage as indicated in Scripture and the Tradition of the Church.

When one considers Orthodoxy, he or she is confronted with a clearly sacramental world view. So how does that apply to Christian marriage?

Dn. Michael continues his study on fasting in an age of self-gratification and excess.

It can seem sometimes that if we are not fasting, we are preparing to fast in the Orthodox Church. In part 1, Dn. Michael helps understand why we fast.

What do Orthodox Christians say about Tradition and how does that compare with Roman Catholic and Evangelical assumptions?

Dn. Michael continues exploring the role of Scripture in the Orthodox Church and examines common proof texts used to defend Sola Scriptura—a premise that is not so much erroneous as it is impossible.

In his first podcast, Dn. Michael tackles the question of Sola Scriptura and the Tradition of the Church.
