For ease of access, here is Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, and Part 8. Today, I examine one last area in which evangelicals and Roman Catholics disagree, the doctrine of purgatory, and then offer a few concluding remarks.

My primary source for this series is the excellent book by Ralph MacKenzie and Normal Geisler, Roman Catholics and Evangelicals. In my first post, I laid out a very brief history of that relationship. In Part 2, I took a look at two areas in which these two groups can find much common ground, the teaching on revelation and doctrine concerning God. Today, I continue to look at areas in which Roman Catholics and evangelicals agree, specifically in regard to the doctine of man, Christology, and soteriology.

I don't think Koukl (who isn't a theologian either, is he?) was asking any really technical theological questions anyway. You’re right on all counts.

That was really unfortunate. I think that either format would have been more interesting and helpful (debate or telling his story)than the mixed bag which we heard. Nonetheless, although Beckwith was not prepared for a debate-type show, I was somewhat surprised at the difficulty he had answering some of Koukl's questions. I spoke with someone who knows Beckwith well and he pointed out that Beckwith is a philosopher and not a theologian which may explain why he is not quite so adept at responding to these theological questions. Beckwith is certainly a smart guy who I respect greatly for his contributions to Christianity, but I was a little amazed that he had not thought through the questions asked by Koukl (or, in fairness, at least not prepared to answer them that day).

Though I thought the interview helpful at times, I was aggravated by Koukl's <i>repeated</i><i> interruptions while Beckwith was trying to speak. To be fair he did this less toward the end, but only after Beckwith (politely) called him on it. Do I think Koukl was asking extremely important questions to which I would also like answers? Of course. But Beckwith could barely say 10 words toward an answer before Koukl would start barraging him with biblical text after text. Thanks for drawing my attention to Geisler's book, of which I was unaware. I'm eager to read your subsequent posts. Thanks for your research!</i> I took your advice and listened to the STR podcase with Beckwith.
