Follow FTT - Folk Theology Transition on YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook Studying biblical content without denominational lenses and reading scripture through the lens of it the authors. This podcast is directed towards those who struggle with reading the Bible mainly due to a lack of understanding of scripture, which is also a result of only hearing soundbites and application of biblical passages in the sermons. This channel hopes to illuminate the background of scripture, engaging with the cultural aspect to give light to what is being conveyed in the text. Hence, this channel will transition those with “folk theology“ into a “Lay theological” framework. Also, we will include weekly book readings regarding church history which will be dissected into a chapter a week. This will include topics regarding the church after the 1st century, and will survey their persecution, apologetics and refutation regarding heresy, manuscript and more!
