Lutheran Christology Defended From Scripture (A Second Response to Gavin Ortlund)

Podcast cover

Just and Sinner Podcast

This podcast episode delves into a Christological debate between Lutheran and Reformed perspectives, focusing on the communication of attributes between the two natures of Christ. The speaker primarily presents biblical arguments supporting the Lutheran view, citing passages where Jesus receives divine honors and power, arguing that these must be attributed to his human nature due to the hypostatic union. The discussion also addresses the implications for soteriology, the Lord's Supper, and the nature of worship. A secondary speaker challenges some aspects of the Lutheran position, particularly the concept of ubiquity, prompting a detailed response and clarification of Lutheran terminology and distinctions. The episode concludes by highlighting the historical context of the debate and the various patristic viewpoints that inform both Lutheran and Reformed theologies.
