Witnesses · Part of Go Deeper

So great a cloud of witnesses

The questions the feed weighs today are not new. Arius was answered by Athanasius, Pelagius by Augustine, and the church that answered them left its writings. Search them by question, by author, by pillar, or by the passage of Scripture they cite. Every result is a real page from a printed public-domain translation, cited to its volume, never a paraphrase.

Part of Go Deeper

  1. 1

    Ask the church that answered first

    Search curated writings of the early church, Clement and Ignatius through Athanasius, Basil, and Augustine, by question, by author, or by pillar. The errors in this week's feed had answers by the fourth century.

  2. 2

    Follow a passage of Scripture

    Give a reference and find the witnesses we found citing it, so you can read what the church heard in the verse a sermon leaned on.

  3. 3

    Every passage carries its page

    Results are public-domain printed translations, quoted exactly and cited to their volume, with the translator named. Never a paraphrase, never a summary dressed as a source.

The witnesses are not Scripture and never outrank it. They are the cloud around the Word, kept here so you can hear the church test what you are hearing now.
