| Teach false doctrine, ordain women - you will drive a fancy boat. Stick to the Confessions - you will get a free ride out of town, on a rail. There is an extra charge for the tar and feathers. |
By the way, you don’t have access, do you, to the primary sources with the Huber information? The Latin documents from the Wittenberg theologians, I mean? I suppose they’re buried in a library in Sweden somewhere. It would be nice to dig deeper.
Post a comment if you have a good link for these materials.
Suggested readings from NPH -
- The History of Pietism
- Timotheus Verinus.
I imagine there are great finds there. Acey 5 already found some from The History of Pietism. The topic is huge and nebulous.
Otto Heick, my professor, is out of print. I think his two, concise volumes are quite useful for anyone looking up figures, historical context, etc.
Google Books is a great source for out of print books that can be turned into text. Current books are often protected and less useful anyway. Do a Google search and look for the place (marked, very convenient) in the book. You now have the Harvard Library on your computer. Didja know it was built with money from a very wealthy lady who saw her bibliophile drown during the Titanic voyage? Now you do.
Other sects teach objective justification and use the same words. That can be found easily by searching on "objective justification."
Important also are the Olde Synodical Conference leaders who did NOT teach UOJ. One person found Gausewitz.
During the next slowdown I expect to put together some public Dropbox links. You do not need the free software to use public links. But you can do a lot with others if you have Dropbox software and they do too. Private Dropbox sharing is secure, fast, easy. And FREE.

AC V has left a new comment on your post "Anonymous Coward Still an Anonymous Coward, Talkin...":
Theophilus Grossgebauer signals a return of Huberism in the mid 1600s.
Grossgebauer was a Lutheran pastor in Rostock, who in a critique of the state of the church in his day, says Private Confession is unnecessary because those who come to Private Confession....:
"If he is is repentant, then he already has forgiveness of his sins from God, and the Holy Spirit has given forgiveness to him through the Word of God. If he is unrepentant, then the absolution of the priest is of no help to him.” – Wachterstimme aus dem verwusteten Zion (1661)
Perhaps he learned it from his senior and superintendent in Rostock, Heinrich Muller (1631-1675), who said:
“Modern Christianity has four mute ecclesiastical idols which they follow: the baptismal font, the pulpit, the confessional, and the altar. They take comfort in their external Christianity, that they are baptized, hear God’s Word, go to confession, and receive the Lord’s Supper, but they deny the inner power of Christianity.” – The History of Pietism, Heinrich Schmid p. 6
These quotes are found in "The History of Pietism" by Heinrich Schmid pp.6-12.
