Glen Scrivener responds to a new departure in Catholic apologetics: vindicatory miracles. He compares this new emphasis to the teaching of Cardinal Ratzinger, Vatican I and II, and—most importantly—Scripture. This is not "route one" to faith, nor is it "route one" to Rome. Even Rome disagrees with that.

“Jesus died so that…” How would you finish the sentence? Join Glen Scrivener and Naomi Brehm as they explore different images the Bible gives us to understand the mystery of what Christ has done.
In this episode, we meander through the law courts, the temple, the market, the home and the battlefield as we consider the Bible’s language of “justification”, “propitiation”, “representation”, “redemption”, “adoption” and “victory”. You’ll want a Bible for this one - or follow along with Romans 3 online here.Recommended mentions:
- Evangelism in a Sceptical World, Sam Chan (book)
- The Cross of Christ, John Stott (book)
- It was Finished Upon That Cross, City Alight (song)

It's an adaptation of Homer's Odyssey from around the 8th century BC. How does the movie handle the fantastical elements of the story?
