Ancient Voices & Forensic Faith | James Buchanan Lecture 3

In this episode of The Doctrine of Justification, we explore Lecture Three—where James Buchanan dismantles the myth that justification by faith alone was a Reformation invention.

Through the powerful testimonies of Church Fathers like Augustine, Chrysostom, Basil, and Bernard of Clairvaux, Buchanan reveals that the Gospel was not lost for fourteen hundred years—it was witnessed, cherished, and preached, even if imperfectly.

But the light dimmed. As the medieval period unfolded, a new system emerged—Scholasticism—which swapped imputed righteousness for infused virtue, paving the way for the errors of Rome.

What you’ll discover in this episode:

Why justification by faith was always the refuge of humble sinners
How the Fathers spoke more truth than later Rome would admit
What changed when philosophy replaced proclamation
Why the Council of Trent was the first to formalize the Church’s rejection of the Gospel
Featuring bold quotations and doctrinal clarity, including:

“Good works follow after a justified person, they do not go before, in order that he may be justified.”
– Augustine

Subscribe to follow the full series as we trace the doctrine of justification from apostolic proclamation, through patristic echoes, into medieval distortion—and toward Reformation recovery.
