  • 41:58 - What is transubstantiation? Is there a good example of change in substance in anything besides Eucharist that would help people understand Eucharistic transubstantiation? 
  • 47:43 - If (or when) we welcome the Eastern Orthodox Churches back into the fold – what could that mean for the Table of Contents for our Bibles? What books could plausibly make the cut, so to speak? 3 Maccabees but not 4 Maccabees?
