- I have not read this book because I never lost Nicene Trinitarianism. I am a Confessional Evangelical Christian - a Lutheran. We have been confessing Nicene Trinitarianism for over 500 years, and the Book of Concord is not changing anytime soon.
- Do you think that this “review” would be better under the Book of Concord? I ask because you HAVE NOT read this book and HAVE read The Book of Concord.
- I am a Baptist. We also never lost Nicene Trinitarianism, because it is there somewhere in our documents, like in 1689 Confession of faith. Nevertheless, most people are now aware of these truths in all of their beauty, so I am excited to delve into this book!
- Why do I have to wait until Pentecost to see that all humans are equal before God? Gen 1:26 makes that clear all by itself. After all, the people who were impacted by the outpouring of the Spirit at Pentecost was already united by the fact that they were Jews (Acts 2:5).
- Once again, the Lutheran perspective is overlooked, as if the Reformation is rooted in Calvin. Check your history, please?
- "We worship a disabled God?" Last time I checked, the God whom we worship is the Lord God almighty. He carried His own cross after experiencing "the little death of scourging, and rose with all power in His hand. Also, in the Resurrection, I do believe that our spiritual bodies will be fully functional.
- There are a lot of red flags in the description... - Sincerely, a disabled person who requests prayers 🙏😆
- None of these gentlemen are Lutheran. Therefore, all three of these writers start from a position that is foreign to Luther and to the Confessions. It's sad that even with Logos, the person whose views precede each of these which are presented is ignored.
- i was surprised that there were only three positions, and you raise a good point about Luther. However this book has nothing to do with Logos, other than that they make it available. Perspectives is published apart from Logos.
- The LST is written from a Reformed perspective. As such, it is deficient for the purpose of supporting Confessional Evangelical teaching. This is unfortunate, since it is an integral component of the LOGOS Theology Guide. Meanwhile there are no Lutheran surveys of theology that are so foundationally linked to a guide on this level that we can draw on with the same confidence. We must therefore, take what LOGOS offers with a critical eye, weighing it against our Confessions, even though this guide is as much a part of the Lutheran LOGOS collection as it is the Reformed.
