Philanthropos Media – Details, episodes & analysis

On the inaugural episode of the Philanthropos Media podcast, Jack is joined by Fr. Peyton Plessala and Ryan D. to discuss the contrast between the political philosophy of liberalism and Christianity by critiquing the "father of liberalism" and the most influential figure in America's founding, the English Protestant philosopher John Locke (c. 1632-1704).

Who are the "brothers of the Lord" mentioned in Matthew 13:55? In today's video, Nico joins the podcast again to show that the "brothers" of Jesus were not actually his biological siblings.

The early Christians overwhelmingly SUPPORTED the DIVINE INSPIRATION of the Deuterocanon! So why did they LEAVE OUT those books from their "canon lists?" Why did so many of these ancient theologians put these books in special categories like "secondary rank," "read in the churches," or "ecclesiastical books"? What did these categories mean? How was their understanding of "canon" different from ours today? Does this "cancel" out their own testimonies in favor of divine inspiration from their other writings?

In this episode (a continuation of last week's church history conversation), Jack and Nico break down the top 10 *infamous* "patristic canon lists" that Protestant apologists use to "prove" that early Christians denied an inspiration of the Deuterocanon. What is Truth is the only place you'll get the in-depth treatment of this subject!

Special Credit to Gary Michuta's invaluable books Why Catholic Bibles are Bigger & The Case for the Deuterocanon, particularly the latter's appendix: "The Problem with Canon Lists." These were our primary sources in researching this episode, so if you liked the information presented here, go buy his books and show him some love!

Did the early Christians and Church Fathers believe the 7 Books of the Deuterocanon were inspired scripture? Did they confirm doctrine with these books?  How can we settle this?

You might have guessed it from the title, but this is a CHURCH HISTORY episode of What is Truth. Today on the Pod, Jack and Nico break down the primary sources from the early church that are points of contention in settling the question "what did the early church consensus believe about the Deuterocanon?" SPOILER ALERT: It's decidedly, overwhelmingly pro-Deuterocanon.

Hope you came ready to take some notes!

Did Jews always agree on what was inspired Scripture? Was that question settled by the time of Jesus? What Scriptural evidence gives us a clue to competing Jewish views? When and why did the Jewish canon of Scripture "close?" Who "closed it?"  Does it matter for Christians today?

Today on the Pod, the What is Truth team breaks down the historical journey of how Jews got the the canon they use today, which Protestants today cite to confirm their shorter canon of the Old Testament. It's a long, winding road that features pharisee conspiracies, a false Messiah, a dark prophecy of Christ come true, and ends in a rabbinical decision after the Resurrection that henceforth set Catholics and Jews on different paths for their respective canons. 

This is the history lesson your pastor never told you!

Why do Catholics and Protestants have different numbers of Old Testament books? What are these extra seven books? What are they about? Are they inspired Scripture? How do we know? In this 20 minute introduction, Nico Silva drops down definitions and context needed to understand What Is Truth Pod's upcoming 3-Part Deuterocanon Series in the month of July.

Jack and Nico spent this past year devouring biblical scholar Gary Machuta's two exhaustive and informative books "Why Catholic Bibles are Bigger" and "The Case for the Deuterocanon" to bring to the Pod a digested, long-form conversation explaining the three major aspects of this complicated Protestant-Catholic Debate. In this series we will focus on answering three major questions: 1.) Did the Jews leave Christianity a closed, complete canon of 24 books or something more complicated? 2.) Did the Early Church fathers always accept these 7 books as scripture? 3.) Does the New Testament point towards the inspiration of the deuterocanonical books? 

 Get excited to unpack this with us every Tuesday in July here on What is Truth.

What is virtue? What is vice? How does it apply to Christians? Today I am joined by Fr. Basil Cole, O.P. to discuss what his new book: "Angelic Virtues and Demonic Vices" and delve into what St. Thomas Aquinas, drawing on the wisdom of the Church Fathers, has to say about attaining heaven and avoiding hell through pursuit of the virtues and combatting the vices.
