At its core, Credo Magazine strives to be centered on the gospel, confessing the substitutionary death and historical resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ for the salvation of sinners. In doing so, Credo Magazine not only draws upon the historic creeds and confessions of the faith, but especially the great pillars of the Reformation: sola scriptura, solus Christus, sola gratia, sola fide, and soli Deo gloria.

Anselm: Faith, Reason, and the Fullness of Joy

The meaning of any particular passage is limited strictly to the intention of the human author who wrote it. Questions pertaining to historical context,… Download Audio

Ad fontes: How to become a good historian
How should Christians think about the past? Of course, some historical events are unavoidably important for the Christian. Our faith is, after all, a historical faith, hinging ultimately on the life, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ—the historical figure. But what about other events in history? Is the past worth consulting for the future?… Download Audio

Is the God of the Bible the God of the Philosophers?
It is not uncommon to hear some Christians today pit the God of the Bible against the “god of the philosophers.” It is assumed that the philosophers reasoned their way to a cold, inert, static, indifferent, and impersonal Being who resembles little the loving, covenant-making God of the Bible. They are distinct, and never the… Download Audio

Solid Resource Discussing Contemporary Issues in Theology
Credo Podcast is at the top of my rotation. I’m a NT student, but Credo has become a convenient and effective way for me to “peek in” on conversations taking place in systematics. Most episodes are challenging and thought-provoking, and I’m thankful to have such an accessible resource to connect me to contemporary issues in theology.
Making Doctrine Great Again
A serious theological discussion on many doctrines that have not received their due over the years. But it is not simply theology for theology’s sake it is a deeply pastoral discussion as well. Thankful for this important and timely podcast.
