S2E2 - The Thrill of Orthodoxy by Trevin Wax

In this episode of The Berean Bookclub we chat through The Thrill of Orthodoxy by Trevin Wax.

In this book, we walk along a path with Trevin Wax as he makes a case for why pursuing ancient orthodoxy is a thrilling adventure. He puts forth Orthodoxy as a way of life which fuses our actions with what we believe in a way which is thrilling, humbling and life-giving. This is a book which is hard to walk away from without a renewed hunger for knowing God.

In this episode, we speak through some of the concerns folk have with pursuing doctrine, why conflict around truth should be expected, how we as Christians have tended to respond to doctrinal conflict by withdrawing or accommodating, why following Jesus is not only about what we believe or only about how we act, how the pursuit of knowing God is an expression of love, how pursuing something greater than ourselves is thrilling and how pursuing orthodoxy is able to change us.

““Our aim in studying the Godhead must be to know God himself better. Our concern must be to enlarge our acquaintance, not simply with the doctrine of God’s attributes, but with the living God whose attributes they are.””
— J.I. Packer, Knowing God
