As we continue to mark the 500 anniversary of the Reformation, I came across this recent web essay by Indiana University Professor Richard Gunderman on Martin Luther’s contribution to global literacy.
I thought it was worth sharing, especially as we continue to think about Luther’s cultural legacy beyond the church and theology:
Dr. Paul Raabe explores the current trends in biblical scholarship and how the church should respond. “The next generation of biblical scholars is not doing “source-form-redaction criticism”…scholars are now following what is called a “synchronic” approach, taking the biblical texts as they stand in a more holistic way.”
"The anti-Jewish hatred that we now see in marches in the United States and around the world is inspired by hell itself. We Christians need to reassert some basics." Dr. Paul Raabe
We are all horrified by the ongoing armed conflict in the Middle East. It is deeply disturbing and raises the question: How should we Christians think about such events from a theological perspective? Dr. Paul R. Raabe shares comments intended to generate reflection.
