Ever wondered how the ideas of Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation developed into the systematic theology we know today? Join us as we welcome Dr. Jordan Cooper to discuss his new book “Prolegomena: A Defense of the Scholastic Method.” Dr. Cooper challenges a common belief that there’s a big gap between what the early reformers taught and how later scholars organized these teachings.
We’ll explore: • How Luther’s ideas connect with later Protestant thinking • Why organized, systematic theology matters for modern Christians • How early Protestant scholars built on Reformation foundations • What this means for the church today • Common myths about Protestant scholarly traditions
Some say there’s a conflict between the heart of the Reformation and the careful, organized way later Protestants studied theology. Dr. Cooper shows us why this isn’t true and how both approaches work together to give us a fuller understanding of our faith. Whether you’re new to church history or a long-time student of theology, this conversation will help you see how careful theological thinking strengthens our understanding of God’s truth. Join us as we bridge the gap between historical Protestant thought and modern-day faith.
