Subject: What did Martin Luther believe? |
Bible Note: John, I have read some of Luther. The local Catholic Seminary, St Mary's, (are you still in Baltimore?) has a set of his complete works, in which I have spend some time. His sermons given on the Marian feast days are very interesting. However, although familiar with the main thrust of Bondage, I can not claim to have read more than excerpts. The image of Satan in the saddle of my will and me with the bit in my teeth is indeed an impressive metaphor, but I prefer to think of God using a rather different method than the Old Sparky, the jockey. The Good Shepherd imagery or even Christ coming in judgement is much more appealing to me and seems more dignified for the Lord. Certainly I would not expect Him to do anything in the same manner as the Adversary. Emmaus |
