Lazarus Spengler: All Mankind Fell in Adam's Fall

Higher Things, Inc. — Mon, 18 Oct 2021 11:03:32 -0400

Lazarus Spengler originally wrote “Durch Adams Fall ganz verderbt Menschlich Natur und Wesen” as a nine stanza text of eight lines. Matthias Loy freely translated Spengler’s text into Long Meter. Spengler’s hymn first appeared in Walter’s Geystliche gesangk Buchleyn (Wittenberg, 1524), Johann Walter’s choir book. This text was held in high regard at the time of the Reformation, but during the eras of Pietism and the Enlightenment, it fell into disuse. Matthias Loy’s free translation appeared in The Lutheran Hymnal (1880) of the Ohio Synod and in The Lutheran Hymnal (1941), Lutheran Worship (1982) and now in Lutheran Service Book (2006).

Our Text:
Sin and Confession on the Eve of the Reformation by Thomas N. Tentler

Show Notes:
Sam Harris I can now attest that the experience of grappling with an expert is akin to falling into deep water without knowing how to swim. You will make a furious effort to stay afloat—and you will fail. Once you learn how to swim, however, it becomes difficult to see what the problem is—why can’t a drowning man just relax and tread water? The same inscrutable difference between lethal ignorance and lifesaving knowledge can be found on the mat: To train in BJJ is to continually drown—or, rather, to be drowned, in sudden and ingenious ways—and to be taught, again and again, how to swim. Whether you are an expert in a striking-based art—boxing, karate, tae kwon do, etc.—or just naturally tough, a return to childlike humility awaits you: Simply step onto the mat with a BJJ black belt. There are few experiences as startling as being effortlessly controlled by someone your size or smaller and, despite your full resistance, placed in a choke hold, an arm lock, or some other “submission.” A few minutes of this and, whatever your previous training, your incompetence will become so glaring and intolerable that you will want to learn whatever this person has to teach. Empowerment begins only moments later, when you are shown how to escape the various traps that were set for you—and to set them yourself. Each increment of knowledge imparted in this way is so satisfying—and one’s ignorance at every stage so consequential—that the process of learning BJJ can become remarkably addictive. I have never experienced anything quite like it. – from The Pleasures of Drowning

Mark U. Edwards: Luther the False Brethren

Higher Things, Inc. — Wed, 13 Oct 2021 17:51:20 -0400

Our Text: Luther and the False Brethren (1975) From 1522 to his death in 1546 Luther clashed with a succession of major evangelical opponents. First there was Karlstadt, then Müntzer, then Zwingli, Oecolampadius, Bucer, and the other sacramentarians, then John Agricola, and finally Kaspar Schwenckfeld and once again the Swiss sacramentarians. For the most part, these opponents accepted the central reformation principles and assumptions that differentiated evangelicals from Catholics.* At the same time, they came to conclusions different from Luther’s on issues such as acceptable ceremonial practice, the real presence in the Lord’s Supper, the separation of secular and spiritual authority, and the relation between law and gospel. As it happened, they were able to convince a large number of evangelicals to accept their positions, and, consequently, they posed a major challenge to Luther’s version of the gospel message and to his authority within the reformation movement. There are several ways in which controversies between evangelicals and Catholics differed strikingly from controversies among evangelicals. In controversies between evangelicals and Catholics, Luther usually made an effort not to attach his name to the beliefs he espoused when challenged by other evangelicals, he occasionally supplemented his theological arguments with claims about himself and his special role in the reformation movement. In controversies between evangelicals and Catholics, each side accused the other of satanic motivation and exchanged the vilest personal abuse; in controversies among evangelicals, the accusations of demonic possession and the ad hominem abuse tended to come more from Luther than from his opponents. Again and again Luther accused Zwingli, Oecolampadius, Bucer, Agricola, Bullinger, and Schwenckfeld of being false brethren and lying hypocrites, but these men generally acknowledged that Luther was a fellow Christian even though he erred. And although Catholic and evangelical opponents alike attacked Luther’s authority, whereas the Catholics attempted to discredit it entirely, the evangelical opponents rarely asserted that Luther had no legitimate authority, insisting only that Luther, like any other man, could be in error.

Robert Kolb: The Hidden God

Higher Things, Inc. — Wed, 13 Oct 2021 17:50:19 -0400

If you’re so inclined, we’d suggest reading the excerpt first as a sort of secret decoder ring. Our Text: Bound Choice, Election, And Wittenberg Theological Method: From Martin Luther To The Formula Of Concord (Lutheran Quarterly Books), Grand Rapids: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., 2005.

“Luther took the hidden God seriously for a number of reasons. Without the admission that there is more to God than meets either eye or ear, God could be tamed, measured, managed within the realm of the human ability and possibility to judge. From the human perspective God remains God because human creatures are creatures as well as sinners, and it is not possible for the product of God’s creative words to master knowledge of the Creator.

“…In the Heidelberg Disputation Luther had focused first on the blank wall created by the impossibility of the human creature’s, to say nothing of sinner’s, conceptualizing of God, just to prove that with fallen eyes no one can see God. With fallen human ears no one can return to the Edenic hearing of his Word. Then Luther focused very sharply on God in his revelation of himself (John 1:18): no one has seen God, but Jesus of Nazareth, God in the flesh, has made him known: a God with holes in his hands, feet, and side; the God who has come near to humankind, into the midst of its twisted and ruined existence” – Robert Kolb, Bound Choice, pg 36.

- Martin Luther on the necessity of the Lord's Supper, Large Catechism, Sacrament of the Altar, para. 39-48 - http://www.bookofconcord.org/lc-7-sacrament.php#para39
"45] And we have, in the first place, the clear text in the very words of Christ: Do this in remembrance of Me. These are bidding and commanding words by which all who would be Christians are enjoined to partake of this Sacrament. Therefore, whoever would be a disciple of Christ, with whom He here speaks, must also consider and observe this, not from compulsion, as being forced by men, but in obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ, and to please Him. 46] However, if you say: But the words are added, As oft as ye do it; there He compels no one, but leaves it to our free choice, answer: 47] That is true, yet it is not written that we should never do so. Yea, just because He speaks the words, As oft as ye do it, it is nevertheless implied that we should do it often; and it is added for the reason that He wishes to have the Sacrament free, not limited to special times, like the Passover of the Jews, which they were obliged to eat only once a year, and that just upon the fourteenth day of the first full moon in the evening, and which they must not vary a day. As if He would say by these words: I institute a Passover or Supper for you which you shall enjoy not only once a year, just upon this evening, but often, when and where you will, according to every one's opportunity and necessity, bound to no place or appointed time; 48] although the Pope afterwards perverted it, and again made a Jewish feast of it."
