Summary

The Spin Team gathers once again to answer some of the great questions they’ve received from listeners. The first query concerns must-read classic books from authors long gone. Next, the intrepid trio considers just how many doctrinal differences a congregant should bear in a church before he or she knows that it’s time to move on. Moving to a more controversial topic: Should churches be gun-free zones, or should they have a security team and/or members who are concealed-carrying in case of a threat? The Virginian, the Marylander, and the gun-deprived Englishman offer their two cents...and expect change! We would love to offer our listeners the opportunity to win one of Todd’s “sleeveless T-shirts,” but he would not donate any from his collection. Perhaps that’s for the best. However…we do encourage you to register for the opportunity to win a free copy of Saint Augustine’s Confessions! Show Notes The Church of Christ by James Bannerman Confessions by St. Augustine Pensées by Blaise Pascal  The City of God by St. Augustine Church Mother: The Writings of a Protestant Reformer in XVI Century Germany by Katharina Zell The Life of Macrina by Gregory of Nyssa Daily Readings-The Early Church Fathers by Nick Needham  Orations by Gregory of Nazianzus A Body of Divinity by Thomas Watson NewAdvent.org The Christian’s Reasonable Service(4 Vol.) by Wilhelmus À Brakel Reformed Dogmatics by Herman Bavinck The Valley of Vision
