In our quest for Sola Scriptura (By Scripture Alone) Protestant's can, often times, create problems. These problems arise through a subjective, individualistic understanding of the principle which has been a crucial to our understanding since the Reformation. It is not difficult to see this taking hold as expressions like "No Creed but Christ", "No Book but the Bible", or "We don't need more theology, just more Christ" remain popular. This has led us to not only question the place of tradition but to outright abandon it, failing to recognize that it is our guardrail, protecting us from going off into every direction.

Of course, this leads to the inevitable question of what tradition, what theological framework, is should we hold on to? The answer, particularly as we come to recognize that the orthodoxy of the church faces its own challenges to define real, biblical Christianity against the forces of counterfeit, faux Christianity, is the tradition and theology that we can trace back through the Reformation and the Early Church Fathers to the Bible itself.

In this first episode of Witness to Faith join Rev. Wyatt McIntyre, a Lutheran Pastor, as he lays out the importance of tradition, and then discusses the Heidelberg Disputation as we prepare to take a journey into the famous 28 Theses that would establish Martin Luther's Theology of the Cross in contrast with the dominant Theology of Glory of his age.
