About this episode

The episode discusses church division and unity with Matthew Vogan, exploring historical and contemporary implications.

Never should anyone run faster to deal with division in Church than someone would run to put out a fire in a house. – Matthew Vogan Jonathan and James engage in a thought-provoking discussion with Matthew Vogan, editor of the book The Scandal of Church Divisions: Healing the Wounds of Schism by James Durham. They explore the complexities of church unity and division, examining the historical context of Durham's work and its relevance for contemporary Christians. Discover the distinctions between heresy, schism, and division, and learn how these concepts apply to today's church landscape. Tune in for valuable insights into the importance of edification and the biblical basis for unity within the body of Christ. Thanks to our friends at Reformation Heritage Books, we are pleased to award two copies of James Durham’s The Scandal of Church Division to our listeners, Luke S. from Crest Hill, IL and Ray N. from Brampton, Ontario!
