The most common Protestant critique of Orthodox (and Roman Catholic) Christianity is that it is “unbiblical.” My class “Answering Protestantism from the Bible” is an essential resource for anyone interested in Orthodox Christianity and its relationship with the Reformation traditions.
The class consists of seventeen hours (divided into 15 parts) of concise and meticulously researched lectures covering the main Protestant critiques of traditional Christian beliefs and practices (e.g. the veneration of saints, justification by theosis, apostolic succession, and much more). Not only does it critique Protestant theology, but it also provides a constructive case for Orthodox Christianity.

The uniqueness of this class is that it does not look beyond the Bible (to “tradition” or anything else) but shows how the Biblical text itself is consistent with traditional Christian theology, sacramentology, and ecclesiology. Its primary goal is not to be polemical, but to provide a constructive and developed case for traditional Christian doctrines and practices.
This class will be especially useful for any questioning Protestants searching for a critical examination of Protestantism that properly respects the Biblical text as the inspired word of God. It will also be helpful for any Orthodox or Catholic Christian apologists who want to become more educated on the Biblical foundations of their faith.
