Böcker av Edward A. Engelbrecht

Charges of forgery, heresy, legalism, and immorality turn on the question of whether Martin Luther taught a third use of the Law for the Christian life. For the past sixty years, well-meaning scholars believed they settled the question-with dire consequences.Friends of the Law sets forth a completely new body of evidence that shows how little Luther's teaching was understood. This new book looks at the doctrine of the Law and invites a new consensus that could change the way Christians view the Reformation and even their daily walk with God.Containsdata tablestranslations of passages not available in Englishappendicesbibliography on Law and Gospel
