Two big topics for this episode of Cross Defense:

Have you heard the quote from Martin Luther that the Bible is the manger that brings us Jesus? Does that mean the Bible is imperfect, in the way a manger is imperfect? How does this play into Gospel Reductionism?

What’s the context of the Nunc Dimittis, or the Song of Simeon? What does it have to do with Christmas? What does it teach us about preparing to die?

Host Rev. Bryan Wolfmueller, Pastor of St. Paul Lutheran Church and Jesus Deaf Lutheran Church in Austin, Texas, and author of the book Has American Christianity Failed?, talks about curious topics to excite the imagination, equip the mind, and comfort the soul with God’s ordering of the world in the Law and Gospel.
