As I sit here writing an essay "Why Does Christ Show Up in the Supper," while finishing off a Sam Adams, I wonder to myself. On one hand getting the opportunity to read a lot of good Lutheran theology and study under someone who knows what the heck Luther is all about is wonderful, I would unashamedly describe Confessions as "Falling in love with Luther again for the first time." At the same time the more I enmesh myself in Luther's arguments the more I find myself resorting to "proof texting" essentially just citing Luther and moving on.
No grand point here, just thought I'm mention that this style of discourse going against my own better judgement, I'm all about discovering things on my own terms. Yeah, I guess I might just be on the wrong side of the Enlightenment. My parents didn't raise no stinkin' proof texter!
Peace,
Chris
