Ethan McG. has posted a new edition of Searched and Known. This time he and I discuss the supposed
conflict between Paul and James, Romans 4 and James 2, faith and works.
In the discussion I called attention to Calvin’s discussion
on this issue in his Institutes, Book
III, chapter XVII, sections 11 and 12.
Calvin argues that James and Paul are not in conflict because the same
God speaks with one voice in both:
What then? Will they drag Paul into conflict with
James? If they consider James a minister
of Christ, his statement must be so understood as not to disagree with Christ
speaking through Paul’s lips.
Warning: Whereas in SK
# 1 we were able to sit in the same room to record our discussion, this time I
had to speak with Ethan over skype and the sound quality for my part of the
conversation is pretty rough. You can,
however, hear Ethan clearly.
