Episode notes
Lutheran Christology's Special Emphasis
- Carl Fredrik Wisløff explains Lutheran Christology adopts Chalcedonian orthodoxy but emphasizes special idioms like genus idiomaticum and apotelesmaticum.
- He highlights that both natures act according to their properties when Christ functions as priest, prophet, and king.
Kenosis Debate: Retained But Relinquished
- Wisløff contrasts classical Lutheran teaching with modern Kenotic views that Christ 'emptied' divine attributes at incarnation.
- He argues orthodox Lutherans held Christ retained divine attributes though they were not exercised in the same way during the incarnation.
Reformed 'Extra' And Twofold Presence
- Wisløff explains the Reformed concept 'extra' places Christ's human nature in heaven while his divine nature remains everywhere.
- He notes this Reformed view resembles Catholic distinctions more than typical Lutheran language.
