Lutheran scholar Martin Marty on faith, Luther, the state of religion | Chicago Sun-Times

Marty and I attended the Martin Marty lectures at Notre Dame.
MM endorsed my book/dissertation on A. D. Mattson.
LCMS-WELS worthies would say MM is a liberal,
but he teaches the same UOJ as WELS-LCMS.
His son Peter is an ELCA pastor,
and his radio show was Grace Matters.
