Reformation Figures (340)
  1. I’ve always been more at home in the Old Testament than in the New Testament.
  2. Only Jesus’ absolute absolution can satisfy a troubled conscience.
  3. This week, the Fellows cover the Anglican theologian Thomas Cranmer. Cranmer was a reformation theologian influenced early on by Martin Luther.
  4. The pastor declares it. We receive it. The forgiveness of sins. It’s a simple thing.
  5. You say: Since forgiveness depends on faith alone, why must one nonetheless do good works? Answer: If faith is of the true sort, it cannot be without good works, just as no good work can be where unbelief dwells.
  6. Faith does not distinguish between worthy and unworthy, saint and sinner, great faith and anemic faith, it only focuses on Christ Jesus.
  7. Above all, Luther understood the importance of the Biblical narrative as the story of God’s love and man’s salvation revealed in Christ Crucified.
  8. We just finished celebrating the 500th Anniversary of the Protestant Reformation.
  9. What is it to be an heir of the Reformation? It is to look outward to Christ bleeding and dying on the cross as Great Rescuer of sinners—of me.
  10. The Lutheran Reformation was a reformation of the Christian imagination alongside its theology.
  11. Rather than presenting Christ’s words as a rule or a threat, Luther reveals it to be the promise of God.
  12. The Thinking Fellows are together with Dr. Wade Johnston to discuss Matthias Flacius. This episode serves as a crossover between our series on great thinkers of the Christian faith and our current Reformation topics.
