Sacrifice, Faith, and Romans

This episode features Jerry Eicher from Anabaptist Theological Perspectives taking a deep dive into Romans 2–3. He focuses on contested passages about judgment, works, and faith — distinguishing the works of the law from works of sacrifice — and explores how sacrifice, repentance, and baptism relate to justification. Eicher engages with historical and modern interpreters (including a note on Jordan Peterson), examines Paul and James on Abraham and works, and argues for a coherent reading that preserves both God’s righteousness and the believer’s path of patient, sacrificial faith.
