About this episode

The episode discusses the nature of the church, its visibility, and the theological implications of Protestant doctrines.

Is the church visible or invisible? How important are aesthetics in the church? How does the church move from one place and time to another and still remain the church? Gavin Ortlund, Michael Horton, and Jordan Cooper discuss how Protestants understand the institutional nature of the church and its continuity through history. 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. Were the Reformers true reformers or radical revolutionaries? Does Sola Scriptura undermine church tradition? Is Sola Fide merely a product of nominalism? Together, these Protestant theologians examine the historical context, theological depth, and biblical fidelity of the Reformation.
