God’s Sovereignty in Lutheranism: An Interview With Josh Strodtbeck (5- Providence in Tragedy)
Here’s the last in our “Lutheran Theology and God’s Sovereignty Series.” I appreciate all the work Josh put into this and the good comments from those of you involved in the discussion.

God’s Sovereignty in Lutheranism: An Interview With Josh Strodtbeck (4- Election and Salvation)
Good to know some reader thinks that after 7 years of basically reformed-leaning blogging, 4 Lutheran posts qualify as somehow unfair treatment of Calvinism. And the main complaint: “cheap shots.” If you could die from irony, we could really thin out the population on the blogosphere. When Josh is teaching, there’s a lot to learn.Continue reading “God’s Sovereignty in Lutheranism: An Interview With Josh Strodtbeck (4- Election and Salvation)”
God’s Sovereignty in Lutheranism: An Interview With Josh Strodtbeck (3- Assurance)
In this question, Josh deals with the sensitive subject of assurance. Can a believer know they are saved? This is bound to be controversial and informative. 3.

God’s Sovereignty in Lutheranism: An Interview With Josh Strodtbeck (2- Pastoral Care)
How does Lutheranism present the sovereignty of God in pastoral care? 2. How would the difference between Lutheran and Reformed views of God’s sovereignty be evidenced pastorally? Since Calvin borrowed a lot from Luther, there are obviously going to be similarities. And since Calvinism is a pretty diverse tradition, I think that in some contexts,Continue reading “God’s Sovereignty in Lutheranism: An Interview With Josh Strodtbeck (2- Pastoral Care)”
God’s Sovereignty in Lutheranism: An Interview With Josh Strodtbeck (1)
UPDATE: Read Don Matzat’s excellent essay on “Martin Luther and Predestination.” A perpective on the Biblical view of God’s sovereignty that’s seldom heard- at least by me- is that of our Lutheran brothers. Lutheran blogger Josh Strodtbeck is a outstanding expounder of Lutheranism, so I’ve invited him to answer some questions. From the first timeContinue reading “God’s Sovereignty in Lutheranism: An Interview With Josh Strodtbeck (1)”

Interview: Scot Mcknight on Evangelicals and Marian Dogmas
UPDATE: I have gotten more mail on this than any recent piece. I just can’t individually answer these letters. So sorry. I need an assistant. The reason Scot Mcknight is such an amazing gift to the church is that he is humble enough to make his formidable skills as a New Testament scholar available toContinue reading “Interview: Scot Mcknight on Evangelicals and Marian Dogmas”
