This is a wonderful podcast. They don't back away from anything and have great, professional guests. I highly recommend this for anyone interested both in pursuing historical accuracy and in learning how to think straight about historical accuracy.

This is my favorite podcast. Scott Woodward and Casey Griffiths are very likable teachers with a tremendous knowledge of church history and doctrine. I look forward to every Tuesday when their new episode comes out. At the time of this writing, they are on Episode 39 so if you are starting now, you have a very enlightening journey ahead of you. Keep it up Scott, Casey, Gabe Davis, Nick Galieti and the rest of the crew, your efforts and your talents are greatly appreciated.
