Gerhardt's writings on this subject as well as Chemnitz kept me from going to Rome about 20 years ago, and I thank God everyday for that. God bless your channel. Javier, you ought to email Issues Etc and offer to be interviewed for their Reformation Week Wittenberg Trail stories. I believe they can do it over the phone. Just a suggestion. It would be an opportunity for you channel to be promoted to a large audience and could help many people suffering from ecclesial anxiety.
Javier God bless you, brother. Your videos have given me so much comfort through many theological questions, I'm an Anglican, and your guests have been a great discovery for me. Keep on the great work!
Johann Georg Hamann remains my favorite Lutheran theologian (and has more to offer protestants than almost any other Lutheran whoever lived) but Gerhard is still amazing and someone all protestants should look to
They are charging me with innovation, and base their charge on my confession of three hypostases, and blame me for asserting one Goodness, one Power, one Godhead. In this they are not wide of the truth, for I do so assert. Their complaint is that their custom does not accept this, and that Scripture does not agree. What is my reply? I do not consider it fair that the custom which obtains among them should be regarded as a law and rule of orthodoxy. If custom is to be taken in proof of what is right, then it is certainly competent for me to put forward on my side the custom which obtains here. If they reject this, we are clearly not bound to follow them. Therefore let God-inspired Scripture decide between us; and on whichever side be found doctrines in harmony with the Word of God, in favor of that side will be cast the vote of truth.[1] Basil the Great, The Letters, Letter 189 (To Eustathius the Physician).

Javier can’t thank you enough for your show. !!!! Gracias hermano.
Great interview! Love Gerhard, his Sacred Meditations is a beautiful devotional work.
So Glad you got Rev. Dr. Parks again. What a gem!
Incredible video! This had me hooked the entire time. Hopefully you can have Dr Parks back on the channel in the future. He’s great!

Another fantastic coup for your channel, Javier! Dr. Parks is superb. What a treat to learn about the great Johann Gerhard.

Wonderful edification of the truth, thank you both.
Can’t wait to tune in 😀
Edit: Great Interview! I also fall into the read/watch theology stuff instead of going back to the source lol!
You need to have Ben Witherington III on. He’s a Methodist New Testament scholar who just wrote a book called Sola Scriptura last year.
