How to Sift through the Failures of Our Faith Heroes - Episode 211
One of the perennially challenging questions we face in the Christian life is what we are supposed to do when our heroes in the faith fail theologically or ethically. As Reformed Christians, it's not uncommon to hear accusations against John Calvin for his involvement in the execution of the anti-Trinitarian Michael Servetus or of Jonathan Edwards' defense of slavery on theological grounds. So how are we to think through these things? Should we write them off? Should we ignore their failings or downplay them? Or is there another way? In this episode, we seek, as always, to offer a more constructive path forward. We hope this is a help to you!
