Confessional Subscription




Herman Otten, responding in CN to my review of Luther's Theology of the Cross, said he agreed with the Brief Statement about UOJ.

I agree with Robert Preus' last book and the Book of Concord.

That was my point before. Those who say they subscribe - quia - to the Book of Concord often place the 1932 Brief Statement above the Book of Concord and the clear meaning of the Scriptures.

We need a new term for those who start and end with the first 50 years of the Synodical Conference. Perhaps that should be a Bronze Subscription to the Book of Concord: in so far as the Confessions agree with Halle Pietism, crypto-Universalism, and justification without faith.

How about a quia subscription "with an asterisk," just like the baseball players or track athletes who have records but are suspected of using performance enhancing drugs.

Another suggestion would be quia subscription "with the 1932 overlay."
