James and Jonathan welcome Patrick O'Banion back to Theology on the Go to discuss Girolamo Zanchi, a pivotal yet often overlooked figure who made significant contributions to Reformation theology. In particular, they focus on Zanchi's book, Confession of the Christian Religion, which Patrick translated into English. Written in the 1580s, Zanchi's Confession never attained confessional status at the ecclesiastical level as planned. Nonetheless, it proved influential in both the Reformed theological tradition generally and the development of Reformed dogmatics in particular.

Zanchi is very concerned in this work to be catholic, to be connected to what Craig Carter would call the great tradition. – Patrick O'Banion

Discover the historical context of Zanchi's writings, his theological insights, and the enduring relevance of his work in today's ecclesiastical landscape.

Thanks to the generosity of our friends at Reformation Heritage Books, we are pleased to offer to our listeners a couple of copies of Girolamo Zanchi's Confession of the Christian Religion, translated by Patrick O'Banion. Enter here to win.
