• W4281694868 abstract "Reviewed by: Always Reforming: Reflections on Martin Luther & Biblical Studies ed. by Channing L. Crisler and Robert L. Plummer Mark Mattes Always Reforming: Reflections on Martin Luther & Biblical Studies. Edited by Channing L. Crisler and Robert L. Plummer. Bellingham, Washington: Lexham Press, 2021. xxiv + 181 pp. The eleven essays in this volume are offered in honor of Mark Seifrid, Professor of Exegetical Theology at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis. Prior to this appointment, Seifrid taught at the Southern [End Page 210] Baptist Theological Seminary. Raised Lutheran, Seifrid converted to Evangelicalism in his youth. However, due to his work interpreting Paul, he returned to his Lutheran roots. Many essayists are Evangelicals, students of Seifrid, and they, along with the Lutheran authors, bring a fresh perspective in biblical studies. Many Evangelicals, informed by the Westminster Confession, are caught off guard by the Lutheran claim that the word is performative, able to create faith, as well as a sacramental theology in which the sacrament does not just point to grace but conveys grace. That Seifrid has influenced numerous Evangelical biblical scholars to think through scripture with a Lutheran lens is significant. Several authors offer general thoughts on hermeneutics. Gregg R. Allison develops Luther's affirmation of the perspicuity of scripture in light of the fact that some contemporary Evangelicals are reasserting the medieval fourfold approach to interpretation, the literal, allegorical, anagogical, and tropological senses (7). Allison challenges this trend in light of Luther's critique that scripture interprets itself. He urges that we should acknowledge figurative language in scripture but that it takes second place when the literal approach is the most straightforward way to understand scripture (9). Robert L. Plummer notes that even though Luther favored the literal sense of scripture he still at times employed allegory. Even so, for Luther, understanding allegory must be modeled on examples in scripture, and must be rooted in historical matters (24–26). Other essays explore specific themes. Channing L. Crisler shows that tentatio was the center of Paul's theology. Paul experienced tentatio in the face of the intense opposition he experienced from his own people as well as the Romans. Likewise, in his letters, Paul singled out both death and the law as sources of tentatio. As believers undergo trials, God works experiential wisdom within them (48). Robert Kolb shows how Luther's commentary on Titus highlights the characteristics of a model pastor. Additionally, the commentary exemplifies Luther's view of ethics as new obedience done within ecclesial, political, and economic communities (64). Timo Laato critiques Matti Väisänen, the Bishop of the Lutheran Foundation in Finland, a confessional Mission Diocese who denies that God's word is able to regenerate. Väisänen affirms that God [End Page 211] initiates a new person through the word (68) as a reconception of that person (67), even though the word as such cannot regenerate (67). In his view, John 3:5, which says that believers are born of water and the Spirit speaks anticipatorily of baptism (68) since God's word as such does not regenerate (107). Laato affirms the regenerating power of God's word and its efficacy in the sacrament of baptism. A. Andrew Das offers an interpretation of Luther's audiences' reception of the Old Testament references in the Lectures on Galatians (1535). But, just as interesting is his observation that the new perspective on Paul is comparable to Erasmus' view of law. Of course, for Erasmus and today's legalists, the ceremonial law has been abrogated, and, for the Christian, purer moral obligations have now been established (113). In contrast to holiness traditions, Thomas R. Schreiner argues that Luther's simul iustus et peccator is embedded in the Pauline corpus and so explains the ongoing struggle that believers have with sin (138). Benjamin L. Merkle argues for the centrality of Luther's early work in Romans for his entire theological work. Brian Vickers reflects on Luther's Two Kinds of Righteousness; he points out how the ego, so important to modern Americans, is sidelined by the gospel in Luther's work and so allows believers to be free from the self (166). The book closes with a sermon by Oswald Bayer..." @default.
