- I own about every version of the Book of Concord that Logos has (there might be one I missed) anyhow, it is currently having issues opening the reading plan. Ah well, I could always create a new plan using one of the ones I do own. (It might also be a Faithlife glitch, I'll wait a few days before I "quit" the reading plan)
- It is from the recent K-W edition, and I created it in Logos 9. I actually wanted it to start Advent 1, but somehow I evidently did it wrong - but decided to go with it anyway :)
- I never did get this reading plan to work correctly, however, just recently I started getting emails about it (which I wasn't getting before) in fact, when I come over to this group, it says I never signed up for the plan, but somehow Faithlife put me in it. It's weird, ah well, is there ever a bad reason to start reading the BOC again?
- Dr. Speners explanation of Christian Doctrineattached to a PB this CN will maybe seem odd. But maybe not. Schmidt's book on the scriptural Character of the Lutheran doctrine of the Lord's Supper references "Dr. Philipp Jacob Spener’s einfache Erklærung der christlichen Lehre nach der Ordnung des kleinen Katechismus Luthers in Fragen und Antworten verfasst und mit noethigen Zeugnissen der Schrift bewæhrt." The German language edition of Spener's book was reprinted in 1984 in modernized German, the section cited starts with question 1099 on page 357.
- Faith is a vital, deliberate trust in God’s grace, so certain that it would die a thousand times for it. And such confidence and knowledge of divine grace makes us joyous, mettlesome, and merry toward God and all creaturesShared from Logos Bible SoftwareThe Bible, and much more. Biblia is an online Bible study tool with dozens of Bibles for your Bible Study needs. It is a service of Faithlife / Logos Bible Software.fl.vu
- Some of you may know that there is a Lutheran edition of the NIV Study Bible (the original one, not the new NIVZSB that came out this year), the Concordia Self-Study Bible. There is a group that tracks the differences the Lutheran editors felt compelled to distinguish their SB from the evangelical NIVSB: https://faithlife.com/concordia-self-study-bible-users/activity It's mainly a private exercise for myself to include those changes into Community Notes - today I finished the book of Romans. If you like to have a look, just join that group.Concordia Self-Study Bible UsersThis group is for users of the Concordia Self Study Bible. We will discuss notes and content of that study bible and will especially have Community Notes that discuss the changes from NIV Study Bible in the "daggered notes"faithlife.com
- "by faith" or "through faith"? For the Lutheran editors of CSSB (rewording NIV Study bible notes) it was a change they made often: for them, believers lived "by faith", not "through faith" (the NIV 84 uses both, with "by faith" more often, both occur in relevant texts). Did they want to consistently cite a creedal formula? This nuance escapes me as an ESL speaker - or is there none?
- I suspect it is a reaction to some of the "name it/claim it" theology in the USA. As for creedal formulas, it was an issue in the 2001 translation of the Book of Concord. If I recall correctly, the German can go either way and they went to the Latin text for how to render the English. Again, if I recall correctly, there is an article about this in The Lutheran Quarterly, in their issue on the new translation of the Book of Concord. For a while this whole issue was on their webpage but it does not seem to be anymore.
- Has anyone signed up for https://www.lutherreadingchallenge.org ? While I love technology, I do find it hard to interact with online texts at times (which I admit is ironic that I'm posting that in a group like this one.) I'm trying to get better at it, hence my reappearance in Faith life Groups.Luther Reading ChallengeLuther Reading Challengewww.lutherreadingchallenge.org
- I did not know of it's existence until you posted, thanks for that. I like the idea.
- There are two main types of solar panels: flexible and rigid. Rigid panels have a frame or panel that supports the solar cells, so they can provide you https://solarflare.pk/our-packages/ in place when it’s exposed to sunlight. Flexible solar panels are made from flexible plastic material and can bend easily, allowing them to capture more sunlight than rigid panels.

- Has anybody seen the "read through 'Luther's Works' in a year" that CPH has? https://www.cph.org/p-27663-a-guide-to-a-years-reading-in-luthers-works-downloadable.aspx It looks INCREDIBLY intense! I made a reading… err… Challenge for volume 1 in six months, going once a week.A Guide to a Year's Reading in Luther's Works - DownloadableTake a rewarding year-long journey with Martin Luther!www.cph.org
- Thank you for this Lisa! I wasn't aware of this. I may have the wrong understanding of what you wrote, but this is not a read through, but rather suggested readings with about 3-6 pages a day 6 days a week. Now a read through of the works in a year, that would be intense. With, i guess, around 100 pages a day.
