This episode features an interview with Gavin Ortlund on his outstanding new book What It Means to be Protestant: The Case for an Always-Reforming Church.

Tune into the whole video to hear the answers to the following questions.

1. Why is there such an increased interest in liturgy and in the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox traditions by some Evangelical intellectuals?

2. How should we think about the complex, confusing developments in the 2,000-year history of the Church?

3. How can we be fair, reasonable, and conciliatory, while pointing out the major errors that developed in non-Protestant traditions?

4. How did we get the New Testament—did the Roman Catholic Church give it to us?

5. Are the scriptures our final authority, or are both Scripture and sacred tradition our final authority?

6. Do the Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox both really think they are the one true Church?

7. Is Jesus’ salvation given to those with faith, or is it given to those with faith plus works?

8. What are some fundamental errors in Roman Catholicism?

9. What are fundamental errors in Eastern Orthodoxy?

10. How is mere Protestantism a renewal of biblical Christianity?
