Martin Luther and the Rule of Faith, with Dr. Todd Hains
Todd Hains, advocate for a more Lutheran evangelicalism, joins Matt and Alastair to discuss his new book on Martin Luther and the Word of God.
For generations of evangelicals lacking good catechesis, Martin Luther is often seen as a primitive, unsophisticated, or backwards reformer. Into this negative environment, Dr. Todd Hains is bringing forth the richness of Luther’s thought and Lutheranism’s tradition. There is so much more than just justification by faith. Alastair and Matt discuss with Dr. Hains his latest book, and they get at the central question: What does it mean to interpret Scripture with Scripture?
