Description
What is worship? This course will take a close look at the role of worship (theology and practice) in the Book of Concord and in the writings of Martin Luther. Worship, and the sacraments in particular, play an important role in the overall ?confession? of Lutheran understanding of justification. We will explore how the Reformers (particularly Luther and Melanchthon) engaged a theology of the cross through reference to Word and sacraments and how that reference can re-frame questions about worship for the church in mission today.
