Description :
In this first of three volumes addressing Luther's outlaw God, Steven D.
Paulson considers the two &quotmonters&quotof theology, as Luther calls
them: evil and predestination. He explores how these produce fear of God but
can also become the great and only comforts of conscience when a preacher
arrives.Luther's new distinction between God as he is preached and God
without any preacher absolutely frightened all of the schools of theology that
preceded it, and for that matter all that followed Luther, as well. That fear
coalesced in various opponents like Eck and Latomus, but in a special way in
Desiderius Erasmus.For Paulson, bad theology begins with bad preaching,
and since the church is what preaching does, bad preaching hides the church
under such a dark blanket that it can hardly be detected. He argues that the
primary distinction of naked/clothed or unpreached/preached radiates out in all
directions for Luther's theology, and shows what difference this makes for
current preaching. Specifically, Paulson takes up the central question of all
theology (and life): What is God's relation to the law, and the law's relation to
God? Luther's answers are surprising and will change the way you preach.
