A lot of the founders of the enlightenment turning against christianitywr were raised in a lutheran manse. Luther is not an anti institutionalist or something like this, it's not about the individual for luther. And that is, he is vehemently opposed to that. Heis conservative. The devil had such a grip on the world that when the gospel was preached in this way, it caused a great deal of panic and shake up. Though, to be fair, luther doesn't mind kind of using the peasants from time to time. He doesn't mind working the system just a little bit.
When it comes to discussing our differences, there is a lot of value in a genuine conversation. Rooted in humility, we have much to learn from each other, and we may find we have more in common than we realize. In this episode of White Horse Inn, Michael Horton interviews Pastor Bob Hiller about the distinctives within the Lutheran tradition. As they discuss the great debates that often arise between Lutherans and Presbyterians, they also explore the pastoral nature of Lutheran theology. Holding firm to the promise of Christ’s forgiveness. the Lutheran tradition aims to combat theological systems threatening to destroy the Christian’s comfort—an endeavor esteemed by all Reformation traditions and joined by all who sit around the White Horse Inn table.
