My Shocking Discovery of John Calvin's "gnostic" Canon of Scripture | Ep. 30
Episode 30
CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM
In this episode, I cover one of the most shocking discoveries I made as a protestant exploring the Catholic Church: John Calvin, and many other protestant sects, were "gnostics" when it came to the canon of Scripture (which books should be in the Bible). In fact, their account of how we can know the canon of Scripture was eerily similar to the "burning in the bosom" Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) use to vouch for the Book of Mormon. We consider the disturbing implications of this.
