Christ is the Cure

CITC seeks to encourage deeper engagement on various theological topics while hoping to spark a desire and interest in others to mine the depths of Biblical Studies, Theology, and Church History. CITC’s content mainly focuses on enriching Christians in whatever walk of life they may be in, seeking to spark an interest in theology and the riches of scripture to love and glorify God. Building off the principle that theology is for everyone, the approach of Christ is the Cure’s content tries to focus on quality over quantity. CITC seeks to provide accessible materials on theology and examinations of various topics and theological positions. Christ is the Cure’s covered subjects and topics range wildly and are from a Protestant perspective, considering scripture and history, while holding to the 1644/46 London Baptist Confession of Faith.

People of the Book pt. 1

Thursday Oct 13, 2022

In this weeks episode, part 1 of 2, I defend the thesis that Christians were people of the Bible in accordance with their historical and cultural context. While recognizing that Christians most likely didn’t have access to their own physical copy of the complete Bible, Christians certainly had access to the contents of the scriptures and relied heavily upon them for faith, life, and practice while devoting themselves to the instructions of the book.
In part 1 we discuss:
General Discussions on Literacy
Reading Communities
Book Culture
Literacy Further Considered
