Listen "The Debate Rome Tried to Silence—But Protestants Answered Anyway | Weighed in the Balance Ep. 24"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textIn 1530, the Lutheran princes presented the Augsburg Confession before the emperor, boldly declaring their faith. But Rome didn’t accept it quietly. In response, Philip Melanchthon penned the Apology of the Augsburg Confession—a careful, powerful defense of justification by faith alone. In this episode of Weighed in the Balance, Jonathan Brooks explores why this moment mattered, how Protestants responded to pressure from both the emperor and the papacy, and why their stand for the gospel still shapes us today. The Reformation wasn’t just about defying Rome—it was about clinging to the truth of God’s Word when everything was on the line.Support the showDo you think this claim is found wanting?
