Sunday School: A Lutheran's Case for Roman Catholicism
Dr. Rob Koons returns to The Pat Flynn Show to discuss his recently released book A Lutheran's Case for Roman Catholicism. Calling himself one of the slowest converts in Church history, Rob's book explains how he thought his way through the doctrinal differences of Catholics and Protestants, including Justification, Sola-Scriptura, and the Papacy. Interestingly, most of Rob's book was written while he was still a practicing confessional Lutheran, offering a raw, authentic look at a professional philosopher wrestling with serious worldview considerations, upon which he eventually changed his mind.
