Doctrine and Dogma: What's the Difference? | Episode 5

Is dogma just a negative word for rigid religion—or is it actually something every faithful church needs? In Episode 5 of The Good Doctrine, Kyle Bagwell explores the biblical relationship between theology, doctrine, and dogma, arguing that while all dogma is doctrine, not all doctrine is dogma. Doctrine is any teaching of theology, but dogma is the church's official confession and institutional safeguarding of biblical truth. Discover why the New Testament calls churches to preserve sound doctrine, establish faithful leadership, and pass the gospel from one generation to the next through confessions, creeds, and faithful teaching. This episode will help you think more carefully about the role of doctrine in the life of Christ's church.
