Ep. 324 - Revelation, the Rapture, and the Church, with Dr. Jeannie Constaninou
Counterflow with Buck Johnson
My guest this week is Dr. Jeannie Constantinou, back with us once again to discuss her works on Andrew of Caesarea's commentary on the Book of Revelation. Andrew is a Church Father, and his commentary on Revelation is the go-to work on the Apocalypse for the Orthodox Church. Since the late 1800's, there have been a lot of misconceptions and misrepresentations regarding the Book of Revelation. There have been movies and books like "The Late Great Planet Earth" and the "Left Behind" series that falsely tell of a pre-tribulation rapture. And now in pop culture, many use out-of-context quotes from...

Counterflow with Buck Johnson
My guest today is Sister Anastasia. We cover some of the themes in her book, "You Are Mine" as well as some of the things she writes about on her Substack: .

info_outlineThis is Part 2 of my conversation with Clark Carlton using his book "The Faith" as a guide for our discussion on the many nuances and aspects of the Orthodox Christian Faith. There are a ton of misconceptions and misunderstandings about Christianity in general but even more so with Orthodox Christianity. I want these two episodes to be almost like a catechetical guide into Orthodoxy. We get into apostolic succession, spiritual depth, repentance, pride, humility, Catholicism, Protestantism, and so much more.
