1 | Why is the Catholic bible different? | 2 Tim 3:16 | DocTrinsograce | 183697 | ||
Hi, Peter... Not sure what "decisions" you are talking about regarding Martin Luther. He was an earthy fellow by a lot of standards -- even by the standards of his day! -- but I'd put his scholarly attainments right up there with any of the best modern scholars today. His command of Greek, Hebrew, and Latin were extraordinary. He was a prolific writer, far in excess of any modern scholar I could name. God's use of this man, in some ways of considering it, comes quite close to someone like Moses. Oh that modern Biblical scholars would have the passion, discipline, and knowledge of a Luther! A reverse chronological chauvinism is a common malady of our day -- just an observation. In Him, Doc |

Martin Luther was a linguist but he was not a critical scholar as far as the canon was concerned. His 'decisions' were based purely on personal opinion. I am not criticising Luther as a person, just his approach to the canon. His achievements speak for themselves but his views about the canon were atrocious. | ||||||

Greetings, You suggest in your post a certain demeaning quality that Luther possessed with regards to his expertise on canonicity; could you expatiate on that and where in particular do you found him to be errant and why? Was this quality one that expressed its self while he was still an unbeliever? CDBJ |
