Let the Bird Fly!

In episode TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-ONE, Jason and Wade discuss sola scriptura, Scripture alone. What did the Lutheran reformers mean when they talked about Scripture alone as a reformation principle? Is there a place for reason, tradition, hymnody, the liturgy, church history, etc? What is Scripture alone authoritative for? Do we read Scripture alone? What happens when people interpret Scripture differently? Jason and Wade got into all this and more. We hope you enjoy the episode!

In episode TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY-EIGHT, Jason and Wade discuss the spirit of Lutheranism and what that might be, if there is one. We focus especially on two contemporaries of Martin Luther, Matthias Flacius Illyricus and Johannes Bugenhagen. Should Lutheranism's spirit be more Luther or Melanchthon, Flacius or Bugenhagen? Ultimately, we decide Lutheranism has only one Spirit who works through the means of grace to proclaim sins forgiven and strengthen faith. In the process, that Spirit uses all sorts of people with different personalities, gifts, and dispositions. We hope you enjoy the episode!
