Five centuries ago, in taverns and public houses across europe, the masses would gather for discussion and debate over the latest ideas. Weeping the land from one such meeting place, a small cambridge inn called the white horse,. The reformation came to the english speaking world, carrying on the tradition. What common convictions do we have that kind of make it reasonable for us to sit around this table for 30 years and have this conversation? Bob hiller is the pastor of com lutheran church and written a book on the gospel in the straw, ithe gospel, finding christ, tighting stris in the straw.
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.
