for Luther, the righteousness received in faith was not only the forgiveness of sins but also the beginning of God’s process of making us righteous.(P.150)

“Take Christ out of the Scripture, and what will you find left in them?" This led Luther directly to the conclusion that Scripture interprets itself.(P.156)

The distinction between law and gospel is one of the most important themes in Luther’s theology.(P.158)

Luther thought of God as always active…,God acts in a hidden way,,,.It teaches us to rely on God.(P.168)

The wrath of God is,,,.the power of God at work in life..,We need to flee from this wrath to the love of God..in Christ. God’s revelation in Jesus Christ breaks through the power of God’s wrath.(P.171)

A Christian person is a free lord of everything and subject to no one. A Christian person is a ready servant of everything and subject to everyone.(P.130)

The category “spirit"..,refer to the way in which God is hidden fromus..,the category of the “letter" refers both to human autonomy and to the wrath of God..,the spirit is hidden in the letter.(P.146)

you will not change me into what you are , but you will be changed into what I am. (P.147)思想:Scripture change the reader or reader change Scripture.

God’s grace is always present as the hidden reality under his judgment.(P.147)

we are sinful,,.because we are self-centered and seek our own welfare. this is most true when we seek to become right with God by doing good works rather than trusting in God.(P.147)

Luther came to his clearest insights about the meaning of the Bible when he was using it in controversy. For example, Luther developed his distinction between the hidden and the revealed God in responding to Erasmus’s attack.(P.98)

most of Luther’s writings were responses to actual situations.(P.99)

Luther…,understanting of the Scripture..,particularly in…,the interrelationship between the letter and the spirit.(P.102)

Luther was the first who provided a theological basis for understanding “calling" in the sense of secular work.(P.120)

從第121頁4.19段落到第124頁4.20段落為止,是作者給想要認識(研究)路德的人的一些原則,而個人也覺得是蠻必要的指引與建議.比如說,作者提到若要真實了解路德針對某些特定議題論述的時候,當代政治,社會,教會,民情,文化處境等因素(P.121)以及路德神學核心焦點的掌握是絕不可忽略.(P.122-123)

若顧及閱讀的順暢,母音或氣音會被犧牲掉,有些遺憾.

由於個人對於希臘文,希伯來文及日文內容的對照比較有興趣,但在過往,要呈現不同字型內容,只能消極的使用圖檔,非常不方便且耗時,如今,隨著部落格樣式的多變及網頁技術的進步,開始直接試貼不同字型內容,看看是否可行
