Abstract

Is faith enough?

Dr. Schubert Ogden discusses his understanding of sola fide, that “faith is enough”. For Ogden, this question continues to be answered between reflecting on what faith is and comparing it to what he bears witness to on a daily basis to support it. Knowing God is not having an idea of Him, but being committed to Him in love.
