In Part Two of our four-part series on the biblical canon, I’m joined by Gary Michuta and William Albrëcht to examine the canon in the Eastern Church. We discuss Melito, Origen, Eusebius, Cyril of Jerusalem, Athanasius, Gregory of Nazianzus, Amphilochius, and the Council of Laodicea. Did the Eastern Church possess a settled biblical canon, or did different churches continue to classify and receive these books differently? 🔔 Subscribe to FACTS with Stephen Boyce New episodes weekly on Scripture, Church history, and theology. 🎁 Support our ministry: If you'd like to donate to our ministry or be a monthly partner that receives newsletters and one on one discussions with Dr. Boyce, here's a link: https://give.tithe.ly/?formId=6381a2ee-b82f-42a7-809e-6b733cec05a7 #theFACTSpodcast #StephenBoyce #ChurchHistory #EarlyChurchHistory
