Philosophy for All

Join us as we explore the intense and enduring debate over 'sola fide'—the doctrine of justification by faith alone—which historically separates Protestant and Catholic theology. This video delves into the theological differences that define this controversy, examining both Protestant and Catholic perspectives on faith, works, and salvation. We also discuss the implications of this doctrine on interdenominational discussions and how it has shaped ecumenical dialogue since the Protestant Reformation. Whether you're a theologian, a student of religion, or simply curious about this pivotal aspect of Christian doctrine, this discussion provides a comprehensive understanding of the complexities surrounding sola fide.
