<p><em>Image: Martin Luther by Lucas Cranach the Younger<br/></em><br/>"<b>Wittenberg Uses of Law and Gospel"</b><br/>Our guest today Dr. Robert A. Kolb is a professor emeritus of Systematic Theology at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis. See the <a href='https://www.csl.edu/emeritus-faculty/kolb-robert-a/'><b>emeritus faculty page</b></a> at Concordia Lutheran Seminary:</p><p>Kolb retired in 2009 after 16 years of distinguished service as missions professor of Systematic Theology and Concordia Lutheran Seminary in St. Louis. Before joining the Seminary, he served as director of the Center for Reformation Research, and in various teaching roles in the religion and history departments at Concordia College in St. Paul, Minn. He has taken much time over many years to teach abroad. He also has been involved in several boards—serving both officially on behalf of the LCMS on commissions, and a leader of 16th century and Reformation societies. </p><p>There is not enough time to list everything he has written, but I included a selection today: He is the author of several books, including <em>The Christian Faith: A Luther Exposition</em>; <em>The Genius of Luther’s Theology: A Wittenberg Way of Thinking for the Contemporary Church</em> with Dr. Charles Arand; <em>Studies of the Interpretation of Holy Scripture in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Century</em>; <em>Lutheran Ecclesiastical Culture, 1550-1675</em>; <em>Bound Choice, Election, and Wittenberg Theological Method from Martin Luther to the Formula of Concord</em>; <em>Sources and Contexts of the Book of Concord</em>, co-edited with James A. Nestingen; <em>Teaching God’s Children His Teaching, a Guide to the Study of Luther’s Catechism</em>; and the list goes on. Perhaps where his name is on most Lutheran bookshelves is in the Book of Concord—he was one of the editors and translators of the most used English edition today. He also has written more than 100 articles and a collection of essays. <b> One of the most recent, titled </b><b><em>Wittenberg Uses of Law and Gospel</em></b><b>, was published in the Fall edition of the 2023 Lutheran Quarterly and is the focus of this podcast episode.</b></p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.patreon.com/tlhp?fan_landing=true">Support the show</a><ul> <li><a href='https://lutheran-history-shop.creator-spring.com/'>Lutheran History Shop</a></li> <li> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/@thelutheranhistorychannel1459'>Youtube</a> ( even more behind-the-scenes videos available for certain patron tiers)</li> <li><a href='https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063592866288'>Facebook</a></li> <li><a href='https://tlhp.buzzsprout.com/'>Website</a></li> <li><a href='https://forms.gle/VKfdxcdtsGtunU829'>Interview Request Form</a></li> <li> email: [email protected]</li> <li>About the Host<ul><li> Benjamin Phelps is a 2014 graduate from Martin Luther College with a Bachelor of Arts with a German emphasis.

<p><em>Image: Wittenberg c. 1530 from the host's personal collection.</em><br/><br/>In May 1536 several prominent Reformed reformers traveled to Wittenberg to confess their understanding of what is received in the sacrament of Holy Communion and who receives it. Luther, Melancthon, and other Lutheran reformers readily signed on in agreement concerning this contentious doctrine. This was seen as a significant breakthrough and a celebrated establishment of fellowship and would later directly influence the <em>Formula of Concord.<br/><br/></em>Read more about this topic<a href='https://www.amazon.com/Wittenberg-Concord-Creating-Dialogue-Quarterly/dp/1506431569'> here</a> in Gordon Jensen's book.</p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.patreon.com/tlhp?fan_landing=true">Support the show</a><ul> <li><a href='https://lutheran-history-shop.creator-spring.com/'>Lutheran History Shop</a></li> <li> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/@thelutheranhistorychannel1459'>Youtube</a> ( even more behind-the-scenes videos available for certain patron tiers)</li> <li><a href='https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063592866288'>Facebook</a></li> <li><a href='https://tlhp.buzzsprout.com/'>Website</a></li> <li><a href='https://forms.gle/VKfdxcdtsGtunU829'>Interview Request Form</a></li> <li> email: [email protected]</li> <li>About the Host<ul><li> Benjamin Phelps is a 2014 graduate from Martin Luther College with a Bachelor of Arts with a German emphasis.
