Our Pilgrim Identity: Introducing Fighting the Good Fight

In this episode, we begin our journey through Fighting the Good Fight, reflecting on the preface and introduction of the book. Danny Olinger and Camden Bucey explore the Orthodox Presbyterian Church’s origins, its identity as a pilgrim people, and the importance of remembering and telling our story. Drawing from the church’s confessional commitments, its history of controversy and conviction, and its seeming smallness in the broader American religious landscape, we unpack the significance of maintaining a strong denominational memory in service to faithfulness. 00:00:11 Introduction 00:04:11 Background to the Book 00:15:42 The Book's Reception 00:21:46 Rooted in the Reformation 00:28:23 Narrative, Identity, and the Language of the OPC 00:42:07 The Immigrant Analogy 00:51:07 Controversy and Conviction 01:00:40 Summary 01:03:39 Conclusion
