Maximus the Confessor, St.
John of Damascus, those are some of the key figures in that milieu of the first thousand years that set
the tone of all of christianity in terms of its most fundamental doctrines of trinity and christology right that's that's what christianity is those two doctrines are the key sort of linchpin that it all hangs on so the first thousand years is dominated by those topics and that in a roundabout way a lot of people don't realize this either that actually conditions what type of christianity you're going to have how it's going to affect society how it's going to affect your life um
So, for example, you have a very truncated version of, say, evangelicalism that's only based around just how you're saved, right?
That's not going to affect society.
And so those types of Christianities or, I would say, deviations, they're also very susceptible to being used by other groups.
I know you just had a guy on talking about evangelical Zionism and dispensational theology.
Because that theology is sort of...
based around an imminent, you know, end of the world type scenario, you sort of retreat and you're not able to create a vibrant cultural effect of Christianity.
That's by design.
People figured that out.
They were very cunning.
A few centuries ago, they realized that that's the kind of Christianity that can be useful.
it's also antithetical to the christianity the first thousand years and the reason i keep saying the first thousand years is that that's not just where we get these doctrines of the trinity and who jesus is formulated but we also get the bible the bible itself comes out of decisions of church fathers centuries after the apostles yes so if we're going to have a church or a religion based on the bible
We really already truncate Christianity because the Bible itself in our ethos is a liturgical document.
It's actually part of a liturgy.
It's not a personal devotional book primarily.
So to divorce it from that context, divorce it from the community that produced it,
is what produces sort of aberrant truncated versions of the religion that make it susceptible to princes, foreign governments, NGOs, think tanks, foundations.
They become essentially tools of soft power, which is what I think much of the evangelical Protestant world today
