Gavin Ortlund, Dr. Jordan Cooper, and Dr. Michael Horton discuss the Reformation doctrine of justification through faith alone, the question of medieval nominalism, nature and grace, the donum superadditum, the accusation that justification is a "legal fiction," and various other topics.

This is part 3 of a 6 part series.

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. Subscribe to each channel to follow the whole series:
