Description
A Powerful Defense of the Protestant Tradition Gavin Ortlund offers a much-needed defense of the Protestant tradition, drawing on his scholarly work in church history and personal experience in ecumenical engagement. He retrieves classical Protestant texts and arguments to expose the roots of contemporary objections to Protestants and shows how historic Protestantism offers the best pathway forward to historical rootedness for Christians today. Ortlund demonstrates that the 16th century Reformation represented a genuine renewal of the gospel, built on the principle of semper reformanda (always reforming). This approach allows Protestantism to reform itself according to Scripture as the ultimate authority.
