"Church Fathers," History or Authority?

In this episode of the Biblical Christianity Podcast, we examine the so-called “church fathers” and ask an important question: are their writings authoritative for Christians today?While many early Christian writers provide helpful historical insight, their writings were not inspired and must never be placed on the same level as Scripture. This discussion considers men such as Clement, Polycarp, Ignatius, Cyprian, and others, showing how their writings can confirm historical practice while also revealing the gradual rise of error after the apostolic age.
