Today is November 1, the day after Reformation Day, October 31.
In preparing for further comments on Prof. Roland Ziegler's essay on the Book of Concord, I have been forced to read the writings not only of Hermann Sasse, but also of those in today's LC-MS who have set up Sasse as their current theological leader... and there are many. And so as I read what happened in the LC-MS during the 450th anniversary of the Reformation in 1967, I wonder that the upcoming 500th Anniversary "celebration" in the LC-MS (4 years from now) will be rather a celebration of Hermann Sasse, with only a passing superficial nod to the only Reformer... Martin Luther.
It is a heavy thing for me to read of Hermann Sasse... I would not be doing it except that Prof. Ziegler seemed to understand the theology of C.F.W. Walther... I hope! There is a contradiction between Sasse and Walther (and Pieper) in many respects...
