This is a book in which I debate Brazilian Calvinist Francisco Tourinho on one of the two “pillars” (as Protestants describe them) of the Protestant Revolt: justification by faith alone, or sola fide (the other being Scripture Alone or sola Scriptura as the rule of faith). Tourinho was a worthy opponent, we have established cordial and mutually respectful relations, and it was a pleasure to interact with him. I hope to debate him many more times. The exchange is to be published in Brazil (paperback and presumably e-books as well) in Portugese. I now present the English equivalent, and it is available for free in the links provided below. Enjoy!

Reply to Francisco Tourinho on Justification: Round 2 (Pt. 1) [+ Part 2] [+ Part 3] [7-19-22]
Practical Matters: Perhaps some of my 4,500+ free online articles (the most comprehensive “one-stop” Catholic apologetics site) or fifty-five books have helped you (by God’s grace) to decide to become Catholic or to return to the Church, or better understand some doctrines and why we believe them.
Or you may believe my work is worthy to support for the purpose of apologetics and evangelism in general. If so, please seriously consider a much-needed financial contribution. I’m always in need of more funds: especially monthly support. “The laborer is worthy of his wages” (1 Tim 5:18, NKJV). 1 December 2021 was my 20th anniversary as a full-time Catholic apologist, and February 2022 marked the 25th anniversary of my blog.
Summary: I debate Brazilian Calvinist Francisco Tourinho on one of the two “pillars” (as they are described) of the Protestant Revolt: justification by faith alone, or sola fide.
