    The Pearl Of Great Price

    A daily blog based on the research I am doing to make a daily podcast about Christian History. The Blog is an introduction to the podcast which I will then post a link to. I am curious about how the Holy Spirit has been working in different ways, in different denominations, so like to focus on...

    LDS LDS leaders have known since at least the 1920s that the BOM is not historical

    John Dehlin interviews Shannon Caldwell Montez on the Mormon meetings of 1922 with B.H. Roberts, wherein it was discussed that the BOM does not have a historical/real world basis. Synopsis as required by the new video posting rules (and because it is a very long video): It was discussed at...

    We Are All Brothers ~

    Visit to Antietam I Alone I arrive, walking from Frederick over the gaps, across gentle hills out onto a knoll overlooking this burnished landscape. Before me I see countless writhing rows of indiscernible shapes gathered in terrible rituals mid fire and smoke darkening the sun. From distant...

    Church and State

    Something on my mind lately - is there a link between church and state? More specifically, does anyone have any perspective on what seems to be a link between democracy/capitalism/Protestantism compared to monarchy/feudalism/Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy? This isn’t to criticise...

    On Liturgical Continuity: An Exultation

    Christ is Risen! Blessings during this Paschal octave. These 50 days are truly "one great Lord's Day" as St. Athanasius put it. Currently, I am engaging in an in-depth study of the Scriptures, but I am also researching things liturgical. My current engrossment revolves around liturgical...

    When was Jesus born?

    After a lot of digging we found the most ancient way (pun intended) to find when was Jesus born. Of course, I do not dogmatize - if someone else has other proofs / sources feel free to share.

    Deconstructing the Pharisees

    I was going to have a thread called something like "Christian Tropes and the Meta-gospel", but I thought it would be too abstract and metaphysical for most folks. Tropes are story telling devices and conventions. Tropes are a lot of fun to use for analyzing pieces of fiction, and sometimes...

    The Original (historical) reason of celibacy of the RC priesthood

    A poster yesterday asked a whole slew of questions about the RC. I figured I would cover one because I think it is worth knowing about if you are RC. I will probably post some updates or modifications to the thread, when I go back to reading on this topic again (most likely in a few days)...

    The importance of Adventure

    There's nothing like being outside and exploring a place, getting off the trails maybe and just seeing God's amazing creation. If you enjoy adventure you would like the podcast episode here. It's got a story of a great American Christian adventurer that not many people know about. There is even...

    Isaiah 18:7 - Who are the people being described?

    Sorry, I feel like this is a kind of minor question - but who are the people being described, are these the Egyptians? And is this a prophecy that was already fulfilled?

    Christian tradition and Protestant denial of it

    So let me preface by saying, I know not all Protestants are the same and I know they don't all deny Christian tradition in the same way. Once again, where I'm coming from is a very small corner of the American Evangelical world -- but most of what I have seen personally looks like this. One of...

    History Of The Trinity 6, Tertullian

    Tertullian is the guy who first used the term "Trinity" sometime in the early 200s. Tertullian's Trinity is unlike the one we have today. Rather than being "Three persons in one essence" his simply was a triad of three beings, two of which the Son and Holy Spirit were derived from the Father...
