Vision, Contemplation, and Theological Evolution

This chapter examines the importance of visual and contemplative understanding in Augustine's works and its influence on Lutheran theology, particularly in relation to the Heidelberg Disputation.

The discussion also reflects on the transition from medieval uncertainties to the Reformation's focus on Scripture as the foundation for faith assurance.
