That’s Not What Luther Meant: „‚Christian Freedom‘ as Martin Luther proposed, was not at all about freedom in civil society nor about do-it-yourself religion. According to Luther the thoroughly sinful human has no birthright to genuine freedom. Humans also have no native right to stand in freedom before the triune God.“

F. Max Müller und Samuel Isaac Joseph Schereschewsky in der Kontroverse über den ‚richtigen‘ chinesischen Namen für Gott: „Es wird Ihnen sicher nicht unbekannt sein, dass eine Kontroverse unter chinesischen Gelehrten darüber besteht, wer oder was mit dem Begriff oder Titel Shang-ti gemeint ist. Einige vertreten die Auffassung, dass er den Gott der christlichen Schriften bezeichnet, während andere sich völlig unfähig fühlen, dies in diesem Sinne zu akzeptieren. Was auch immer die Rechte in dieser Frage sind, die Kontroverse ist ein bedeutendes Thema und sollte nicht unbeachtet bleiben.“
Wie soll man „Gott“ in das Chinesische übersetzen? Diese Frage hat protestantische Missionare seit Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts intensiv bewegt. … Mehr

Some Remarks on Prayer: „What the Book of Psalms teaches us is that the situation of the petitioner has to be related to God himself, either by referring to his previous deeds or by appealing to his own character, particularly to his righteousness, faithfulness and steadfast love.
