Reformation Commentary on Scripture
Edited by Beth Kreitzer
"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord." Reflecting on this verse from the Gospel of Luke (2:11), Martin Luther declared it to be a summary of the gospel: "See here what the gospel is, namely, a joyful sermon about Christ our Savior. Whoever preaches him rightly preaches the gospel and pure joy."Reformation commentators meditated upon the significance ...

It was these challenges that ultimately provoked the Council ...

EbookWe Believe in One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church
Ancient Christian Doctrine Series
Edited by Angelo Di Berardino
When was the church founded? Jesus spoke of the kingdom of God and not of a religious organization subsequently called church. We don't find in the Gospels expressions which make reference to the foundation of a new religious community, a new and distinct community of followers of Jesus. But after the resurrection of Jesus, his followers, as a result of his express command, gather ...
