Description: In this episode, we'll meet with theologian Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen and discuss his book "An Introduction to Ecclesiology." We'll chat with Kärkkäinen about the theological questions he poses about ecclesiology (the doctrine of the church). What is the church, and why are there so many diverse expressions of it? What are the major traditions and why do we have different traditions if we have one universal church? Kärkkäinen will share his thoughts about the major traditions, global perspectives, and key elements of the church's mission, governance, worship, and more.Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen (Dr.Theol.Habil., University of Helsinki) is professor of systematic theology at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California, and docent of ecumenics at the University of Helsinki. He is ordained by the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America and is also an expert on Pentecostal/charismatic movements. He has served as visiting professor in various schools around the world and has participated in numerous international theological, missiological, and interfaith consultations. His many books include The Trinity: Global Perspectives, An Introduction to the Theology of Religions, and the five-volume series A Constructive Christian Theology for the Pluralistic World.🌐📧 Visit our Website & Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://www.theremnantradio.com#remnantradio #theology #theologydiscussion #theologypodcast Hey Guys, Josh Lewis here. Have you ever wondered if the miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit—like prophecy, healing, and tongues—really stopped after the apostles? Cessationists claim they vanished throughout church history, but that's a myth.
