Hello there, and welcome to the Thinking Fellows podcast.

My name is Caleb, and the Thinking Fellows is part of the 1517 podcast network of shows.

You can go to 1517.org slash podcasts to see all of our shows there.

And of course, 1517 is more than a podcast network.

You can go to 1517.org and see on our homepage that we have daily blogs, weekly preaching helps, annual conferences, and a whole lot more.

If you enjoy this show, you may find something else for your week there.

Today I am joined by my father, Dr. Scott Keith, by Dr. Adam Francisco,

and by a guest, Dr. Jack Kilcrees,

who recently published a book called Justification by the Word, Restoring Solofite,

which is available on Amazon and Logos, and I think basically anywhere you can buy books,

and I'll put links in the show notes to that.

Jack is going to join us to talk about the theme of his book

and to talk specifically about the sort of underlying doctrine,

which is the doctrine of the word.

Jack, why don't you introduce yourself to the audience,

give people an idea of who you are

and why the topic of this book was important

to you.

Yeah, I'm a L-C-MS layperson and I'm an associate professor of historical and systematic

theology at the Christ School theology and the Institute of Luther theology.

And I guess the reason why I was interested in the topic and why it's important to me is

that I think that specifically Anglo-American Protestantism has sent people back essentially to a kind of de facto works righteousness
