Dig into a thorough examination by Rev. Dr. Lieberg of multiple source documents about the Office of the Ministry from Luther, Melanchthon, and the Lutheran Confessions.
This material is being released for study and discussion purposes, and the author is solely responsible for its contents. It has not been submitted to the process for doctrinal review stipulated in the Bylaws of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod and does not necessarily reflect the theology of the Lutheran Confessions or the doctrinal position of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.
Martin Luther and Philip Melanchthon worked hard to institute reforms in the church during the Reformation. As they continued their work, many questions about the Office of the Ministry arose. Who could perform ministerial functions such as hearing confession, baptizing, and distributing the Sacrament? Who could call a man into the Office of the Ministry? Most important: did those Evangelical priests who had been ordained have the power to ordain others?
Dig into a thorough examination by Rev. Dr. Lieberg of multiple source documents, including Luther’s Concerning the Ministry (1523). An examination of Melanchthon is also included, with an extensive look at the dispute surrounding the ordination of Johann Freder (ca. 1555). See what lies behind the Lutheran Confessions’ language on the doctrine of the ministry, particularly the Augsburg Confession, the Apology, and the Treatise on the Power and Primacy of the Pope.
