The Courage to be Protestant

White Horse InnOn last weekend’s (October 5, 2008) broadcast from The White Horse Inn Dr David Wells, author of ‘The Courage to be Protestant’, and numerous other books, was the special guest.

Dr. Wells has some very helpful observations on the accommodation of churches to the surrounding culture – and some challenging words on preaching.

Hear it at The White Horse Inn. (See our earlier posts.)
