Church History: The Centrality of Scripture in the Ministry of Macrina

16th July 2018

Two years after the Council of Nicaea in the year 325, Macrina the Younger was born. She—as Coleman Michael Ford has pointed out— lived between two worlds.

Apologetics: Can We Trust a Copy of a Copy?

25th September 2013
