Episode Synopsis

Send us a textPhilip Melanchthon was Luther’s right-hand man, the author of much of the Lutheran Confessions, and a brilliant theologian—and yet history remembers him more for his compromises than for his faithfulness. In this episode of Weighed in the Balance, Jonathan Brooks shows why Melanchthon deserves far more credit than he gets. From his role in defining Reformation theology to his struggles with compromise and his reputation as a peacemaker, we explore the legacy of a man who fought the good fight and finished his course. Whatever his flaws, Melanchthon clung to Christ, and his confession of the gospel still speaks powerfully today.Support the showDo you think this claim is found wanting? Let us know on social!!
