On the Journey with Matt and Ken Episode 23:
A Damning System of Works Righteousness, Part VII
As a Baptist pastor, Ken Hensley held to Martin Luther’s doctrine of sola fide, or justification by “faith alone.” But what was he supposed to do with the many passages in the Old Testament, as well as the Gospels and the Epistles of the New Testament, that seemed to directly contradict that doctrine?
Ken shares with Matt Swaim how over time, he began to realize that maybe it wasn’t that the Bible was just full of passages that were problematic in light of the Reformed doctrine of justification; maybe the problem instead was that he had been viewing Scripture through the wrong theological lens.
