Chuck Colson is on a blog tour. Tim Challies put to him a brilliant question, indeed, as far as I’m concerned, the ONLY question and he did it very well. Protestants have traditionally held that justification by grace alone through faith alone . . . Continue reading →
But that’s what Cardinal Walter Kasper wants to make him.* There were a lot of moral Reformers before, during, and after the Reformation. Luther wasn’t one of them. The moral Reformers wanted to clean up the behavior of the Roman communion and . . . Continue reading →
