Martin Luther, 16th-century reformer, on Psalm 1:2's meditating day and night: "Thou shalt not kill" isn't merely prohibition, it's the positive duty of kindness and gentleness toward neighbour. Today this gets rebranded as "biblical manhood," where duty runs only to one's household, and Christian counseling rehearses grievances against entire classes of people so we can watch their demise more comfortably. A bold reworking of "meditate on the law of the Lord."

I'm intrigued by the photo here, highly coloured decoration in the Cistercian monastery of Wienhausen - & the note that in Germany "many medieval artworks have endured not despite, but thanks to the Lutheran Reformation." Upcoming talk:

David Chytraeus, the Lutheran theologian, reads 1 John with unnerving clarity: to refuse love is already a kind of death. Christ’s self-giving redefines what life looks like, and when we seal our hearts against need, we quietly deny that love lives in us at all. Love, then, must become concrete—truth taking flesh in action.
How can you show love?

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?

Is #Theologidons a hashtag folks are using? I found a list of #theologians on #mastodon that used that word. (This is Paul's daughter still searching for more people for "him" to follow!) #Ecology #Ethics #Christianity #Lutheran (ELCA) #CosmicChrist #HistoricalTheology #SystematicTheology #PracticalTheology #Ecojustice #CareForCreation #CaringForCreation #HarvardDivinity #WellesleyCollege #LutheransRestoringCreation #Religidons
