Reconquest Episode 39: Christ’s Finished Work

In Episode thirty-nine of Reconquest, I consider “Christ’s finished work.” In so doing, I am replying to an objection I received via email by a Baptist gentleman who listens to the show.

I attempted to show, […]

The Scriptural evidence for Purgatory is considered, mostly in the New Testament, but also in the Old. Great monuments of Christian civilization are based on […]
