We don't even know their names.

I mean, we could go researching, but we can't even say them off the top of our head, where the whole world just about knows the name of Jesus.

And certainly Christianity did not die out.

And so we're doing this episode on ancient Christianity.

This is Lecture 5.

So I thought this one was really good.

I'll give a couple caveats, though.

And again, just for Frank and some of the guys out there, you got to remember we're getting different perspectives.

And so this course is obviously taught.

I think Dr. Calvert may be Catholic, so you can definitely sense some of the Catholic mentality.

on some of the teaching of this.

I think that's healthy for us to listen to other perspectives and other things as we move through this.

I found this to be helpful.

What's weird is, because now we're going in, this is about the apostles, the creeds, and then the scripture.

It's essentially the history of the church from the ancient documents up to AD 337.

So that's this particular lecture.

Al, do you know, we grew up in a denomination that was, I think that we would have probably said, at least the way I grew up hearing this, we were non-creedal.

Since then, I've come to really appreciate a lot of the creeds when you understand them in their proper order.

The creeds were written essentially to preserve some of the doctrine of the church, but it's just like simple ways of just understanding how to teach this and move it on.

What I found to be so interesting about this lecture, and I listened to it, and it's so funny.
