Luther’s View of Purgatory

Theology

“Lutherans often struggle with the enduring catholicity and medieval outlook of their patron. Most would be mystified to learn how long it took him to ‘recant’ the doctrine of purgatory. Padre Kim skillfully connects this puzzling process to two major themes: justification by faith and Christian suffering, showing how the gospel inevitably worked its way through Luther’s thinking until he was able to find full comfort in Christ.”

“The Pharisees wanted a Jesus who stayed out of the gutters, aloof from the sordid sorts they feared would pollute them. But Jesus sat at table with sinners because he came to cleanse people like them. Pastor Thomas Sabel’s poetry is unsettling like Jesus. These words arise from broken lives seeking healing. Sinners will hear their own voice calling out to Jesus. Pharisees will find no comfort here.”

Wonderfully Made

Theology

“When so much written about the body is polemical, political, or perverse, how good it is to read an author who is on the side of the angels, not the cynics.”
