#lutheran — Public Fediverse posts

Johann Albrecht Bengel was a #Lutheran pastor who published a Greek New Testament. Here he comments on the Second Greatest Commandment (Matt 22:39). He speaks of a three way relationship between the reader, God, and himself. The mutual love of God to neighbor reinforces and sets an example for love between neighbors. It eliminates selfishness.

Try reading this aloud quickly.

How can you view a neighbor as truly loved?

Henry Ester Jacobs, Lutheran theology professor, writes on the history of the Lutheran Church. He finds it necessary to mention German immigrants who tricked into transit, then trapped in debt, near slavery, and separation of families.

Hasn’t a tendency to advocate against “social agendas” been a reason to break away from Lutheran denominations today?

How can you speak up for those exploited and away from home?
