In this Gottescast, The Gottesdienst Crowd discusses Apostolic Succession. We survey a brief history of this teaching, unpack the Lutheran response in the Confessions to the charge that Lutheran orders are illicit, and how to defend it today.  Rev. Dr. Korey Maas (associate professor of history at Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, Michigan) joins us for the discussion.
