Before you can start helping others, you need to be equipped with the knowledge and skills required to share the truth with gentleness and reverence. Here's some of what Tim Staples covers in this course:
-
Tim explores in depth the Church as “the fullness of [Jesus Christ]” (Eph. 1:22-23) in the world as a foundation to understanding its divine authority.
-
He shows how the Church is visible, hierarchical, and authoritative—as opposed to the invisible, fallible church of Protestantism.
-
He reveals why Jesus chose not to “name” his Church but rather gave it four unmistakable marks.
-
He explains the scriptural doctrine of apostolic succession, the foundational teaching of the Christian faith that has been lost to countless Protestant Christians.
-
He calls upon Eastern Catholicism’s concept of theosis as a key to understanding many of the Church’s most controversial claims.
-
Throughout, he makes what was once difficult to understand surprisingly easy.
