Martin Luther: Evolution of Faith

Sunday, September 17, 2017

Dr. Al Staggs

 

This former German priest became one of the leading figures of the Protestant Reformation. Luther taught that salvation is not earned by good deeds or by purchasing indulgences but only by the grace of God through Jesus Christ.

 

This formidable theological giant also confronted issues such as greed and the necessity of interpreting scripture through thorough exegetical study informed by the Holy Spirit. Luther provided future generations of theologians with the radical concept of the God from Below, the God who has special concern for the poor and oppressed.

 

Lessons: Psalm 118, Romans 3:21-27, John 8:31-36
