#068: St Paul on Faith and Works Catholic vs Protestant Debate

My goal this week is to share with you how Saint Paul understood the relationship between faith and works. This debate goes back to the Protestant Reformation: Are we saved by faith alone (Martin Luther) or by faith and works (Catholic Church). We’ll look at the six verses in Saint Paul’s epistles that refer to the “works of the law” and unlock this debate in light of the Church Fathers and contemporary Scriptural scholarship.
