Sola Gratia: Nature, Grace, and Nominalism

Gavin Ortlund, Dr. Jordan Cooper, and Dr. Michael Horton discuss the Reformation doctrine of justification through faith alone, the question of medieval nominalism, nature and grace, the donum superadditum, the accusation that justification is a "legal fiction," and various other topics. This is part 3 of a 6 part series. DEFENDING THE REFORMATION is a 6 part series bringing together Gavin Ortlund, Jordan Cooper, and Michael Horton to address some of the most prominent criticisms of the Reformation and key Protestant doctrines.

Os Guinness Warns: America Is at a Crossroads

Dr. James Tour interviews author and social critic Os Guinness about American Agonistes, exploring the Jewish and biblical roots of American freedom, covenantal self-government, and the gospel as the true foundation of liberty. They contrast biblical freedom with secular ideologies, warn about America’s current polarization and dependence on the state, and call for repentance, renewal, and a return to Scripture as the nation nears its 250th anniversary. --- If you’d like to support our work and help us create more content across all platforms, we’d be grateful for any contribution. 🙏 Learn how to give at jesusandscience.org/donate.
