We want to introduce you to those who forgot everything except Jesus Christ and him crucified. We all struggle with fear of being last, lost, least, littlest, and dead, and so we are here to encourage, challenge, provoke, and maybe even offend you by introducing you to theologians who at one time or another were banned by their church, declared dangerous, or simply vilified for daring to confess that Christ alone is the way, truth, and life. Welcome rebel children, holy mischief makers, and fools for Christ. This podcast is for you.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-13T22:18:45.859900+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/banned-books-1005383"},"episode":{"title":"441: Trueman - The Value and Role of Creeds and Confessions","slug":"441-trueman-the-value-and-role-of-creeds-and-confessions","published_at":"2026-05-29T21:33:39+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/banned-books-1005383/441-trueman-the-value-and-role-of-creeds-and-confessions","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/banned-books-1005383","url":"https://www.1517.org/podcast-overview/441-trueman","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/bannedbooks/BB_441.mp3?dest-id=697691","summary":"With Arms Wide Open! In this episode, on the eve of Trinity Sunday, we sit with Carl Trueman's essay, \"The Value and Role of Creeds and Confession.\" Is there any usefulness of Creeds and Confessions at present? Are they important as historic documents? Are they authoritative for the churches? What are the biblical origins of the ecumenical creeds, and are they the rule of faith for contemporary Christians? What about contemporary churches that write their own creeds, confessions, or statements of faith — do they participate in the catholic faith, or are they confessing something separate from historic, orthodox Christianity? All that and much, much more on this episode of Banned Books.
