TGC 157 — The Gods of Our Age
Wednesday Jan 12, 2022
Wednesday Jan 12, 2022
The people of Rome, Galatia, Corinth, and Ephesus could hardly not know that they were idolaters when Paul preached to them. They had idols of stone and wood and precious metals. They had temples with statues devoted to their gods. We know from Luther’s Catechisms that an idol is anything that you fear, love, and trust in above all things. We have idols too. They are not statues of stone or wood or precious metals. But they look exactly like the idols of the ancient world. In this episode, Mark Preus walks us through what they look like.
Host: Fr. Jason Braaten
