Episode 19 - The Oxford Movement 1:11:28

3M ago1:11:28

1:11:28

Who were the Tractarians? What was the Oxford Movement? Was this a good, necessary, and salutary development for the Anglican Church? Or not? C. Jay is away today, but Jared is joined by Dr. Charles Erlandson, his former professor and mentor at Cranmer Theological House to discuss the Oxford Movement of the nineteenth century. For some new to Angli…

Episode 18 - Israel, Jews, and Antisemitism 1:29:20

4M ago1:29:20

1:29:20

Few hot button issues are hotter than the question of the Jewish people and antisemitism. But that’s the very question on the table in today’s episode of Canterbury Trails. Our listeners know this podcast is dedicated to the cultural apologetic for Anglicanism, so why are we talking about this subject? We're responding to a recent article in The Ch…

Episode 16 - Anglicanism and the Founding of America 1:14:16

5M ago1:14:16

1:14:16

You’ve heard the Puritan narrative of the history of America—the Pilgrims, the Mayflower Compact, the Great Awakening, all leading up to Independence and the Revolution. But are you ready for the Anglican version of the story? In the early days of America, few outside New England would have even heard of the Mayflower Compact. But Anglicanism was n…

Episode 15 - Tyndale, Language, and the Anglo-American Tradition 1:08:36

5M ago1:08:36

1:08:36

What defines American Protestantism? Recording this episode of Canterbury Trails the week after the American Independence Day, Jared Lovell and C. Jay Engel reflect on this question, and delve into the impact especially of language on the theology of our Anglo-American faith. Perhaps the two most popular books in early American history were the Kin…

Episode 14 - Preaching in the Anglican Tradition 1:19:43

6M ago1:19:43

1:19:43

What is the purpose of preaching? Is it just something to endure while waiting for the Main Event of Communion? Or is preaching itself the Main Event, with Communion merely a monthly or quarterly extra? Or does the truth lie somewhere in the via media? On this week’s episode of Canterbury Trails, Jared (without C. Jay, who is out this week) answers…

Episode 13 - Sanctification and Manual Labor 1:09:22

1:06:21

C. Jay is away this week, but Jared carries on with a fascinating conservation about Time. With returning guest Jesse Nigro of The North American Anglican, Jared talks about how the way we think about Time can serve catechetical purposes. One reason Christianity was able to survive through the Middle Ages is how they thought about Time, and the rit…

Episode 11 - The Thirty-Nine Articles 1:12:12

8M ago1:12:12

1:12:12

What does it mean to be an Anglican? Or even a Christian? The Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion, written and adopted by the Anglican Church in 1571, have a lot to say on the subject. But today, The Thirty-Nine Articles are regarded as more of a formulary, little more than an interesting historical document Anglicans use for reference. Thus this impo…

Episode 10 - The Stations of the Cross 1:04:16

1:04:16

What exactly are “The Stations of the Cross”? Is that a Roman Catholic thing, or does it have roots in the Protestant tradition as well? And if Protestant, what about Anglican? Join Canterbury Trails hosts Jared Lovell and C. Jay Engel as they welcome Fr. Justin Clemente, associate priest at Holy Cross Cathedral, and author of the new book, At the …

1:00:40

We’re in a rediscovery phase of American religious life. Many are turning from the shallow worship and church life of contemporary evangelicalism and finding older paths. One of those paths is the Anglican Church. On today's episode, Jared Lovell and C. Jay Engel welcome Joseph Colleti, creator of the Young Anglican YouTube channel, and author of t…

Episode 6 - The English Reformation: King and Pope 1:12:43

10M ago1:12:43

1:12:43

Was the English Reformation all about theological differences? Or was it strictly a case of political maneuvering? Does the truth lie somewhere between these two extremes? And if the English Reformation did include a significant political component, does that make it any less legitimate? Join C. Jay Engel and Jared Lovell for Episode 6 of Canterbur…

Episode 5 - C.S. Lewis 1:15:35
