In the last episode, we discussed the Wittenberg theologians' (mainly Luther and Melanchthon) gradual shift on their theological stance regarding offering not just disobedience to the governing authorities, but also resistance, and if necessary, armed resistance. In this episode of The Gottesdienst Crowd, we take up part two of what is now a three-part series. Here we dive into the events that happen after Luther's death, focusing on the events surrounding the city of Magdeburg and The Magdeburg Confession.
The Magdeburg Confession is translated and can be found for purchase HERE. It contains a full confession of their faith. In the appendix, the Amsdorf (the primary author of the document) includes a section Concerning Resistance. There he offers three reasons why resistance to the governing authorities is not only a right, but also a duty granted by God in His holy Word.
David Ramirez (pastor of St. Paul Lutheran Church, Union Grove, WI, and co-founder of the annual Bugenhagen Conference in Racine, WI) joins us again for part 2 of On Resisting the Government.
