This is the fourth in a series of talks on the solas of the Reformation. This talk discusses the semi-Pelagian controversy and the Council of Orange, and how that connects to the Lutheran Reformation.

Sola Gratia: Grace Alone

This is the third of my talks on the five solas of the Reformation. In this talk, I discuss my transition from the Reformed to the Lutheran church and some differences between these two branches of the Protestant Reformation.
