Episode 6
This week's episode picks up where we left off last week in the 2nd century. We go over the Gnostic understanding of who Christ was characterized by Docetism. We then contrast that understanding by outlining the other end of the spectrum which is the position of Jewish Christians called Adoptionism. These two ends of the spectrum pave the way for the first creed of the Church to be covered next week as we allude to the debate between Athanasius and Arius as formalized in the Nicene Creed.
