The latest episode of the Elliott Hulse Podcast features a discussion between Elliott and William Albrecht about the role of an apologist who defends their faith using facts. They delve into the significance of Church Fathers, who were disciples of the Apostles and authored writings beyond the New Testament. Notable figures include Ignatius of Antioch and Bishop Polycarp, taught and trained by the Apostle John. William explains that while many Church Fathers held clerical positions, some were simply apologists. These Fathers are categorized into different eras, including the Apostolic Fathers, Anti-Nyseine Fathers, Nicene Fathers, and Post-Nicene Fathers. Their writings offer insight into the beliefs, practices, dogma, and doctrine of the early Church, tracing the Catholic expression of faith back to Christ and his apostles. Hostile witnesses even recognized the distinctly Catholic nature of early Christian beliefs. This conversation emphasizes the Catholic Church's long-standing traditions and historical continuity.
