Dr. C. Clark Carlton is a co-founder Ludwell Orthodox Fellowship and currently serves as its president and editorial director. He recently sat down for a provocative interview with Buck Johnson, a longtime friend of the Fellowship.
Buck says:
In this episode, I’m joined by my friend and one of my favorite authors, Dr. Clark Carlton, for a conversation about Protestantism, Orthodoxy, and what happens when Christianity becomes less a lived, sacramental faith and more an ideology derived from a text.
Clark takes us through the history of American Evangelicalism and Fundamentalism, including the Southern Baptist “Conservative Resurgence,” and asks an important question: why do conservative Protestant movements seem to win battles while the larger drift continues? His answer goes much deeper than politics, wokeness, or simply blaming theological liberals.
We get into sola scriptura, the relationship between Scripture and the Church, Fundamentalism’s attempt to fight rationalism with rationalism, and Clark’s argument that Orthodoxy begins from an entirely different understanding of Christianity—not primarily as a system of ideas, but as life in Christ and participation in His Body, the Church.”
Both Dr. Carlton and Buck will be at our upcoming 4th Annual Conference, Dr Carlton as a speaker and Buck as emcee.
