Course Description:
This seminar addresses the relationship between the church fathers and the Lutheran tradition. Some Roman Catholics have claimed that Lutheran teachings are a novelty in the church fathers, while Lutherans have occasionally been overzealous in their arguments that the church fathers were Lutheran. Drawing on his expertise in Patristic studies, Dr. Phillip provides some insights for a proper Lutheran approach to the fathers. About the Instructor:
