Luther, the Reformation, and the Solas (w/ Dr. Jordan B. Cooper)

Was the Reformation justified or did Luther make a big mistake? In this episode with Dr. Jordan B. Cooper, a Lutheran pastor and scholar, we discuss the history of the Reformation, the differences between the reformers, as well as the famous "solas" and why they matter. What do we lose if we deny sola scriptura, sola gratia, or sola fide? Dr. Cooper gives a historical defense of Protestantism and the Protestant reformers as well as his reasons for why he's a Lutheran and despite all the ensuing schism, he believes the Reformation is a net positive. I had so much fun chatting with him and learning from his great insight.
