Were the Protestant Reformers theological innovators, or were they calling the church to return to it’s foundational beliefs and practices?
On this episode I talk with Dr. Matthew Barrett about his new book The Reformation as Renewal: Retrieving the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.
In this discussion we’ll talk about how the reformation and the men who lead it have often been misunderstood and even misrepresented.
Because rather than attempting to do something new and innovative, they were in fact focused on retrieving the historical Christian faith and correcting errors that had seeped into the church over the ages.
Here’s some of what we cover in this conversation:
• A helpful overview about how the Reformers benefited from and made use of the Church Fathers
• Why understanding the Middle Ages is critical for understanding the Reformation
• Our need to embrace the rich history and tradition of the church that goes back much further than the 1500s
