The Gottesdienst Crowd

“That is Catholic!” is often heard by those who seek to restore historic rites and ceremonies among Lutheran churches in America. It is a charge leveled even against CFW Walther. In this two part series, we hear from Walther himself as he responds to such charges from a series of articles published in Der Lutheraner during 1846–1847.

We are familiar with the Book of Job, particular Chapters 1, 2, 19, and 42. But what about the Christology of Job and how it relates to the patriarchs. In this episode, we dive into the Book of Job and explore what we have missed out on.

In the first episode of The Gods of Our Age, Mark Preus walked us through an introduction. That the people of Rome, Galatia, Corinth, and Ephesus could hardly not know that they were idolaters when Paul preached to them. They had idols of stone and wood and precious metals. They had temples with statues devoted to their gods. We know from Luther’s Catechisms that an idol is anything that you fear, love, and trust in above all things. We have idols too. They are not statues of stone or wood or precious metals. But they look exactly like the idols of the ancient world. 

In this second part of two episodes, He narrows our focus on the Goddess and idolatry of Sexuality, Aphrodite.
